With a 1198 cc, L-twin engine producing 170hp (125 kW) and with
a dry weight of just 169 kgs (372 lbs), the 2009 Ducati 1198
S incorporates more World Superbike technology than ever before
by taking the 1198 motor and adding top-of-the-range suspension,
lightweight chassis components and a true racing-style traction
control system designed for road use.
Based on the unit found in the Ducati
1098, the Ducati 1198's engine achieves its new, larger
capacity by using exactly the same 106x67.9 bore and stroke
as the factory race bike. Volumetric efficiency through the
four valves per cylinder has been enhanced by increasing the
valve diameters approximately 4% to 43.5mm for the inlet and
35.5mm for the exhaust. They are actuated by racing-type rocker
arms, 'super-finished' for reduced friction and fatigue, and
double overhead camshafts with radical profiles that achieve
approximately 10% more lift than their predecessors.
The Ducati 1198 S features high performance, fully adjustable
43mm Öhlins forks, which sport low friction titanium nitride-treated
fork sliders. The rear suspension is handled by a fully adjustable
Öhlins rear mono shock equipped with a ride enhancing top-out
spring and mounted to a single-sided swingarm. The front and
rear Öhlins suspension package is complimented with a control-enhancing
adjustable steering damper.
The Ducati 1198 S features several weight saving modifications
designed to reduce unsprung weight. This includes components
like tires, brakes and wheels. Lighter wheels have a lower 'moment
of inertia' that is beneficial with every direction change and
application of the brakes. The 1198 S features new 7-spoke GP
replica Marchesini forged and machined wheels. The weight saving
is further enhanced with the application of a carbon
fiber front wheel cover.
The Ducati 1198 S is equipped with the Ducati Data Analysis
(DDA) and Ducati Traction Control (DTC) systems as standard
equipment. The DDA package enables the retrieval and analysis
of data collected from previous track sessions or road trips.
The DTC system monitors front and rear wheel speeds to detect
rear wheel-spin under acceleration and electronically reduces
engine power to restore traction. If you don't think you need
all this software then there is always the Ducati
1198 to consider.
