2011 Ducati 848 EVO Sportbike

• Ducati has announced another EVO model release, with its 2011 Ducati 848 EVO middleweight sportbike. Like the EVO versions of the Hypermotard (2010 Ducati Hypermotard EVO First Ride) the new 848 builds off the base model, but features a higher-spec engine and performance-related additions, with the Italian marque citing feedback from AMA Pro Racing (where the 848 campaigns in the Daytona SportBike class) as well as consumer feedback.
• The Testastretta Evoluzione Twin gets a redesign, with Ducati swapping out new cylinder heads, pistons, throttle bodies and camshafts. While the Bologna-firm doesn’t divulge details on the new internal changes, it claims the mods up power to 140 hp @ 10,500 rpm and 72.3 lb-ft of torque at 9750 rpm. The standard 848 claims 134 hp at 10,000 rpm and 70.8 lb-ft at 8250 rpm, for EVO net power gaining six ponies and 1.5 lb-ft at higher rpm.
• The 848 EVO chassis get performance help too, with a cross-mounted steering damper standard equipment. Wheels are covered with the latest generation Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires, which replace the standard 848’s Dragon Supercorsa PRO. In the braking department, Brembo monobloc calipers round out the changes.

Induction motor is held in Genoa, yesterday afternoon. Not much has changed in the appearance of a new motor this Ducati satellite team. Everything is the same as it was once used and Mika Kallio Aleix Espargaro last year.

His team-mate Nicky Hayden hopes that the change Rossi's especially a good information exchange between themselves and stated that he was sure would help with Valentino at his side to a successful Ducati MotoGP season 2011.

For Ducati 2011 will be a very crucial year. After the change of Valentino Rossi on the racing team from Bologna, it is difficult for any expectations for the new team put up.

The annual event Wrooom in Madonna di Campiglio Ducati put together before the riders Rossi and Hayden, the new motorcycles for the season 2011. The technical director Filippo Preziosi Ducati Desmosedici GP11 described the as "Step Zero", from which will be developed from it all.

Latest 2011Ducati Diavel Review

Last year Ducati smacked us with an adventure-touring surprise in the form of the oddball Multistrada, which we’ve since tested and loved several times. For 2011, Ducati further expands its customer base with the Diavel, a weird new roadster built within the power-cruiser idiom. 

 

 

New 2011 Ducati 1198 SP Review

Ducati’s superbike series has been impressing over several generations, a concoction made even more desirable since the debut of the 1098/1198 series launched in 2007, later enlarged to 1198 potent cubic centimeters in 2009. Gorgeous, soulful and devilishly brutal, Ducati’s 1198 is a very special motorcycle.But for enthusiasts with deep pockets, especially aficionados of Italian bikes, the base 1198 mightnot be special enough. Enter the new-for-2011 premium Ducati Superbike, the 1198 SP.   

SP stands for Sport Production, which is nomenclature Ducati has used for decades to designate some of the high-end models in its superbike series. This lineage stretches back to the 851 SP which debuted in 1989. 

 

 

 

 

Ducati Ala Rado2 Pursang

Barcelona - A Spanish modification house, Rado2 Pursang featuring new creations by composing look into more radical Ducati Multistrada, Ducati called Rado2 Pursang.

Home modifications this bike was made Ducati Multistrada that combined with the style of supermoto, streetfigter and cafe racer as well.

Rado2 Pursang has this fierce-looking Ducati equip with a capacity of 1,100 cc engine. The body changed to look more aggressive, stylish nakedbike with changes in single-swingarm monster S2R property and changes to the headlights pick-owned Yamaha MT-03, so it looks the front face is sharper.

In the fuel tank re-formulated by Rado with aluminum, while at the stern of using carbon fiber materials.

Ohlins suspension is taken from model cafe racer like the era of the 70s and has LED indicator lights. Frame and swingarm painted white as a typical sign of Ducati.

Latest 2011 Ducati 1198 SP Review

 SP stands for Sport Production, which is nomenclature Ducati has used for decades to designate some of the high-end models in its superbike series. This lineage stretches back to the 851 SP which debuted in 1989.

The new 1198 SP elevates the Ducati experience with a slipper clutch, better suspension and a trick aluminum fuel tank.

Added to the potent 1198’s equipment, the SP adds all the bits from the former 1198 S (Ohlins suspension and forged Marchesini wheels), plus a slipper clutch, Ducati Quick Shifter, Ohlins TTX shock (formerly T36PR), and an aluminum fuel tank. It retails for $21,795, just $200 more than the old S version.

 

So there we were at the historic Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, fresh from a couple of sessions aboard the 848 EVO. With much more power than a 600cc supersport machine and a superb chassis similar to the 1198 SP’s, the 848 hauls considerable butt around a racetrack. 

Although 140 crankshaft horsepower is more than adequate, the 1198 SP brings an extra 30 horses to the party – the SP retains the same engine tuning as in 2010, so the SP should duplicate the 147 hp we saw at the rear wheel of the 1198 S we tested last year. But it’s the mountains of torque that got our attention while pulling out of Imola’s pit lane, as the front wheel is regularly yanked off the deck with some 87 ft-lb of torque thumping to the rear wheel. The 1198’s extra 350cc of grunt over the 848 is impossible to ignore, catapulting viciously from every corner exit and making the 848 seem like a weakling in comparison.  

 

And while accelerating, you’ll appreciate the new Ducati Quick Shifter. It uses a micro-switch on the shifter that provides a brief interruption in spark/fuel to bang off upshifts at full throttle without dipping the clutch. This is not only convenient for a rider, it also reduces shift time from 230ms to just 80ms, a 65% reduction in duration.  

 

DQS worked flawlessly under my toe, even if a racer at the event said it’s not quite as good as a Dynojet quick-shifter unit. The shift quality of Ducati gearboxes is one of the few less-than-excellent areas of its motorcycles, which the DQS handily alleviates. The base 1198 also receives this upgrade.  

 

Also making a welcome debut on the SP is a back-torque-limiting slipper clutch sourced from the previous R version. Banging downshift entering Imola’s many chicanes, the slipper proves to work terrifically. It’s a huge benefit when riding a big Twin like this on a racetrack, as the two big jugs produce a sometimes overwhelming amount of compression braking that can cause the rear tire to hop during downshifts. No such drama on the SP.  

 

The SP’s handling dynamics are aided by its lightweight forged-aluminum wheels, something not available on the base 1198 or the 848. Forged wheels weigh less than the typical cast-aluminum wheels, and this aids steering quickness and suspension compliance – both valuable enhancements on a sportbike.

The 1198’s braking system carries over unchanged, but the Brembo monobloc calipers and 330mm discs decelerate the Duc as ferociously as any two-wheeled contrivance, and especially so at the high speeds generated on a racetrack. Nothing short of stellar.

Amazing Ducati at EICMA 2010 Review

As usual the Ducati presented their models to the international press a day early on the opening cn Eicma 2010. In the historical setting of the Teatro Carcano, The entire management Ducati, led by Gabriele Del Torchio, Raised the veil on one of the most talked about news in recent months, the Diavel. But Ducati in Milan has not only led the Diavel, but also a new version of the Monster 1100 Ages defined.

The speech by the President Del Torchio that he wished to remember when it was introduced four years ago, the strategic plan of the Ducati brand, which was considered by many too optimistic. “Ducati is a premium brand, it has been in the past and we intend to remain so in the future – Said Del Torchio – . In 2007, we declared that we would produce 11 new models, and three years later we have come to propose on the market 12, so we went beyond expectations. We do not have diverted resources to the product, we have invested in quality to improve customer satisfaction, the results are really significant. The number of complaints per bike is in fact improved by 57% and is an excellent result for us, but we have yet to tackle the growing competition in Japan. One way in which Ducati is unique is the “emotional quality” which for us is based on Authenticity, Italian and Performance, Which are our assumptions of today and tomorrow. We worked a lot on corporate identity, investing in our sales network, especially abroad, given that 75% of our product goes abroad. In a market that is shrinking tremendously, Ducati has nearly doubled its market share in four years, and this should make us think positively. On balance, the Ducati is closing the year with an encouraging sales growth of 5.3% and much of this success is due to the Multistrada 1200, has been sold well in 7563 Unit.

Finally it’s time to see the most interesting feature of the year: Diavel. The bike riding on the scene with none other than Maddalena Corvaglia amid a blaze of light and sound. To describe it is Claudio Domenicali, Director of Product Ducati, which has submitted all the engineers and designers of the Development Team. “Diavel The frame is made of a steel trestle and back plates and light alloy rear frame engineering plastics. The swingarm is very long 635 mm so that the distance at almost 1,600 mm. We used suspensions ultraregolabili – Domenicali continued – and a high-performance braking system with monobloc Brembo calipers. The size of the rear rim is really a record for Ducati, since we chose a well-rim 8 inches channel. To achieve the right tire we received a great support from Pirelli has developed for us a new rear unprecedented dimensions of well- 240/45 x 17 “. Ergonomics is an all-new Ducati, with high handlebars and closer to the rider footboards and advanced than a naked. The saddle and is only 770 mm above the ground, made with 80 mm foam, ensures a high degree of comfort. We thought, however, also a passenger, since the saddle is very wide, its platforms are easy to remove thanks to the flush handle on the passenger sits comfortable Diavel. The power output, depending on the riding mode can go from 162 to 100 hpAnd selecting the various mappings is also affects the traction control. For the first time on a Ducati, we have two gauges, the second of which is a panel TFT active matrix color from which you can select all the information on riding mode and the electronic engine management. The engine is therefore the same as the Multistrada 1200 but using a different exhaust system we have brought power to 162 hp without losing anything in delivery.
Among other innovations, 2011, we could not forget the Monster. As you can see the Monster family is enriched with the arrival of the new 1100 version of Ages The bike can boast of well- 100 hp, Thus constituting the first model Ducati two-valve to stay within the limit of 100 hp. The Monster 1100 Evo also stands for the equipment which includes the Traction Control DTC ’sABS and a new ergonomics, with handlebars raised by 20 mm. The exhaust system now goes to the side of the engine as well as the two terminals are superimposed on Streetfighter. This has also led the renovation of the platforms of the passenger, no longer block with those of the pilot, but separate and attached to the rear subframe. The engine is the same used on the Hypermotard 1100 Evo, but due to the discharge reaches the hundred horsepower at 7,500 rpm with maximum torque of 10.5 kgm available from low revs.
