At
the time of its arrival, the 749S Testastretta was the highest
performance, middleweight Superbike Ducati had ever built. The
749S features a fully-adjustable suspension system. An upside-down
43 mm Showa front fork with low friction TiN treatment and fully-adjustable
Showa rear shock allow for maximum road hold under changing
conditions. A steering damper is standard equipment. The bike
is easier to live with at low speeds thanks to a lock-to-lock
steering angle of 28.5 degrees. The front fork rake is adjustable
between 23.5 and 24.5 degrees via a specially designed eccentric
in the steering head – a Ducati feature that allows tuning
for individual tracks or riding style. The 749S has a 748 cc
Testastretta engine that supplies 116 hp at 10500 rpm and 8.4
kgm at 8500 rpm, allowing for maximum performance without compromising
reliability.
The entire Ducati Superbike range draws on improvements made
in the racing world by including details that go far beyond
styling to offer rider maximum aerodynamics.
The
bikes now feature an innovative aluminium alloy two-sided
box-section rear swingarm, a true replica of the one used
on the 999 Factory race bike. Additionally, handling precision
has been considerably enhanced by the more favourable weight/rigidity
ratio. Other key modifications include a wider and higher
nose fairing, no longer with upper air intakes, giving the
rider better aerodynamics, and a raised Plexiglas windscreen
for enhanced protection. All-new Terblend NNG02 polymer, plastic
fairings lower overall weight by 1kg. The turn indicators
have been incorporated into the mirrors, which are spaced
further apart, to improve aerodynamics and compliment the
motorcycle's clean lines. The mirror/indicator units are easily
removed for track use.
An
adjustable riding position allows for optimum ergonomics,
performance, handling, and control on the road and the racetrack.
A well-loaded front end ensures manageable and precise control,
at the same time taking the weight off the rider's wrists.
The entire range is equipped with radial master cylinders
with built-in reservoirs offering a wider steering angle for
easier city riding.
Ducati
Superbikes are the first motorcycles to adapt emerging technologies
that simplify the layout of the electrical system and reduce
overall weight. The major source of innovation is a CAN line
(Controller Area Network) which greatly simplifies the electrical
system by reducing the number of wires and connectors which
lowers weight and makes servicing easier.
The
Superbike Brembo braking system consists of twin 320 mm steel
front brake discs set in a more outward position for improved
cooling and a steel 240 mm diameter rear brake disc. The front
brake "triple bridge" calipers are rigid for incredible
stopping power and feature four 34 mm pistons and four individual
sintered brake pads. The radial front brake and clutch levers
are adjustable for better ergonomics. The entire range utilizes
lightweight, five spoke, Y-shaped Brembo/Marchesini wheels.
The
exhaust system's innovative asymmetrical layout and the high-volume
single-muffler result in significant torque
at the middle of the rev range. All models comply with Euro
2 standards.
The
Ducati 749S uses an
advanced
instrumentation panel. Composed of a circular tachometer with
a backlit, classic, white dial and LCD panel, it indicates engine
coolant temperature, speed, odometer, battery voltage, air temperature,
fuel consumption, code-based diagnostics and signals for 200
and 100 rpm before redline. The panel also indicates time, routine
service interval and anti-theft system status. The stopwatch
function is a must for track riders: for each lap, the instrument
panel stores top speed, top engine rpm, over-rev occurrences
and elapsed time. The lighting of the instrument panel is automatically
adjusted according to the external light conditions to ensure
display visibility.
