The bikes now feature an innovative aluminium alloy two-sided box-section rear swingarm, a true replica of the one used on the Ducati 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 1 Kg. 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. Fitting the bike to individual rider size is accomplished with adjustable footpegs and adjustable rake, suspension and a seat/tank combination on the single-seat version with 20 mm of fore and aft travel. 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 QUALITY OF DETAILS
The Superbike's highly advanced trellis frame, constructed of mitered and welded high-strength steel tubing, ensures precise handling and stability for a consistent and predictable ride.

Ducati Superbikes utilize an incredibly 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.
