Desmosedici Stradale da 1.103 cc
Power comes from the MotoGP-derived 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine featuring a counter-rotating crankshaft. The inclusion of the STM Evo Superbike dry clutch enables the use of Ducati Corse Performance Oil for an additional 3 horsepower. A 520 final drive chain contributes to reduced weight and friction.
Racing Equipment
Standard equipment includes carbon fibre rims, a high-performance braking system, racing foot pegs, and additional carbon components. The motorcycle is supplied with a track-use kit comprising an open carbon clutch cover, billet aluminium mirror removal plugs, a number plate holder removal kit, an aluminium fuel cap, and a Ducati Data Analyzer+ with GPS module.
Ducati Data Analyzer+
This system allows detailed monitoring of riding performance, including automatic lap timing with split-time analysis.
Track-ready equipment
A dedicated box includes a carbon clutch cover, carbon brake cooling ducts, an aluminium fuel cap, and plugs for mirror and number plate removal.
Brembo MCS master cylinder
The braking system includes a Brembo MCS master cylinder that allows tool-free adjustment of lever feel and reach, enabling riders to tailor braking response.
Carbon fibre rims
Five-split-spoke carbon rims reduce weight compared with forged alternatives and significantly lower rotational inertia, improving agility and directional precision.
Adjustable rider foot pegs
Billet aluminium foot pegs provide adjustable ergonomics and allow configuration of the Ducati Quick Shift system in either standard or racing patterns.
STM Evo Superbike dry clutch
This system offers enhanced anti-hopping functionality during aggressive downshifting, helping achieve smoother corner entry.
Dedicated to collectors
Collector-focused details include a machined steering head engraved with the model name and serial number, alongside the certificate of authenticity and motorcycle cover.
Sporty in its every detail.
The design reflects the visual DNA of the Ducati 916, with a front-focused silhouette, sculpted fuel tank, single-sided swingarm, and compact tail section.
The tricolour fairing, updated white number plates, and black upper cowl reference historic racing machines, while modern touches create a contemporary interpretation.
The technical specification combines SP2 components with exclusive elements, such as a billet aluminium fuel cap, carbon brake-cooling ducts, carbon fibre wings, and a front mudguard.
The braking system features Brembo Stylema R callipers paired with cooling ducts to maintain consistent performance during extended track use. The STM EVO dry clutch enhances control during deceleration, while the Ducati Data Analyzer+ enables performance tracking.
