Up-Close with the Ducati Panigale S Tricolore

The of Ducati’s Superbike offering for is the Ducati 1199 Panigale S Incorporating the key features from the 1199 Panigale S, like its control (DTC), electronic (DQS), forged Marchesini and Öhlins-made Ducati Electronic (DES) front forks and TTX shock, the Tricolore package anti-locking brakes and the GPS-assisted Ducati Data Acquisition as standard items to Tricolore’s list.

Add in bounty of carbon fiber, and a three-color paint scheme the name), and you’ve got a stellar that should please all of a senses. Helping celebrate 150 year anniversary of unification, the is Ducati’s ultimate expression of design and engineering. Up-close 1199 Panigale S Tricolore makes the plain Rosso Panigale look pedestrian and which is a shame.

However, if is the new Corse paint scheme for bikes, we could get used to

Common to all the Ducati 1199 superbikes, the LED headlight really is to behold. In its low-beam setting, the two of LEDs near the center of the nose illuminate the way ahead. are noticeably bright, with a bluish hue. Flipping the to the high-beam setting though, and the lux doubles by our estimates, with the headlight array projecting

Sources have told us the entire headlight package is thin, and surely there is significant weight savings here because of the LED implementation.

Especially intriguing is the Ducati Suspension (DES) by Öhlins and the new data acquisition software. played with the DES on the Multistrada the package is really more of a than something earth-shattering, and makes adjustments from settings easier and wrench/screwdriver Similarly the GPS-assisted data is also a step forward, but is how all data acquisition packages operate (who are OEMs with manual lap timers?), the DDA+ uses the GPS data to what turn you are in on a track, and you’ve crossed the start/finish

However what compels us the about these two systems is the that now a motorcycle not only where it is on a race course, but has the ability to adjust its suspension on-the-fly while on the track. At point, it is only going to some clever individuals to the two systems talk to each and finally bring dynamic control to the motorcycle industry.

We imagine such a system exists somewhere in Sweden, it is anyone’s guess as to when the will see it. Best guesses be another 10 years. How long it take a systems hacker to the same feat?

We give it 12
