Ducati 1098 Tricolore
The
full feature on the new Ducati 1098 is here!
The 1098 S is also available in an additional
special 'Tricolore' version (red, white and green), the colours
of the Italian national flag. The 'Tricolore' sports the same
specification as the 1098 S with the added features of the frame
and wheels finished in traditional 'racing gold' colours. In
addition, a 102 dB Termignoni racing muffler kit with dedicated
ECU is supplied with the bike.
Suspension is of the very highest performance standard. The fully
adjustable 43mm Öhlins FG511 forks, which sport low friction
Titanium Nitride fork sliders, respond effortlessly to every
imperfection in the tarmac. Beyond their advanced engineering
solutions, one of the most important characteristics of Öhlins
forks is their ability to communicate the condition and quality
of the tyre-to-road contact patch, a feature that puts every
rider in superior control. The suspension system is completed
and perfectly balanced by using a fully adjustable Öhlins
46PRC rear shock with a ride enhancing top-out spring, controlling
the single-sided swingarm for outstanding drive, traction and
steering precision. The Öhlins package is completed with
a control-enhancing adjustable steering damper.
The 'S' also sets a new standard for lightweight performance.
On any sport or race bike, the most effective area to reduce
weight is its "unsprung weight". These are components
like tyres, brakes and wheels. Lighter wheels have a lower 'moment
of inertia' that is beneficial with every direction change and
application of the brakes. The 1098 addresses this important
area by mounting Marchesini forged and machined wheels, reducing
weight by 1.9Kg (4lbs). Both front and rear are super lightweight
and their benefit is immediately apparent. The weight saving
is further enhanced with the application of a carbon fibre front
fender.
The 1098 S is also supplied with the Ducati Data Analyzer system
as standard equipment. The DDA package supplied with the 'S'
version enables the retrieval of data and analysis of data collected
from your previous track session or road trip. The DDA package
includes software for your personal computer on CD, a data retrieval
USB key and instructions.
