Ducati has finally released full details of the 1199 Superleggera
limited edition superbike. Magnesium and titanium abound, and the
combined weight loss results in a bike weighing just 155kg dry – 177kg
fully wet and ready to ride.
That’s not a lot of weight to push around, and with a claimed output
of ‘in excess of 200bhp’, you’re unlikely to ever feel short of the
necessary grunt to do it.
With just 500 examples of this ultimate iteration of the Panigale
being created at the Borgo Panigale factory, there’s little chance of
them clogging up the window display at your local dealer any time soon.
Each bike will sport an individually numbered engraved top yoke bearing
its identity.
The foundations of the Superleggera are built on the already extreme
1199 Panigale R, with almost every item of common metal replaced by
something lighter. The monocoque frame is magnesium, as are the forged
Marchesini wheels and front subframe. to read more click here
