Ducati Superbike description

2009 Ducati Superbike 1198 S, 2009 Ducati 1198 S - This 1198 has a new fuel tank just done, Termignoni slip on, carbon front and rear fenders, Ohlins front and rear suspension upgrades, and two new tires. S PERFORMANCE Producing 170 horsepower (125 kW) and with a dry weight of just 372.6 pounds (169 kg), the new 1198 S now incorporates more World Superbike technology than ever before by taking the 1198 motor and adding top-of-the-range suspension, lightweight chassis components and a true racing-style traction control system designed for road use. The high performance, fully adjustable 43 mm Öhlins forks, which sport low friction titanium nitride-treated 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 tire-to-road contact patch, a feature that puts every rider in superior control. The suspension set-up at the rear is complemented with a fully adjustable Öhlins rear shock equipped with a ride enhancing top-out spring and mounted to a single-sided swingarm for outstanding drive and traction. The front-to-rear Öhlins package is completed with a control-enhancing adjustable steering damper. The S sets the 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 tires, brakes and wheels. Lighter wheels have a lower moment of inertia that is beneficial with every direction change and application of the brakes. The 1198 S addresses this important area by mounting new 7-spoke GP replica Marchesini forged and machined wheels. 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 1198 S is supplied with the Ducati Data Analysis (DDA) and Ducati Traction Control (DTC) systems as standard equipment. The DDA package enables the retrieval and analysis of data collected from your previous track session or road trip. DTC monitors front and rear wheel speeds to detect rear wheel-spin under acceleration and electronically reduces engine power to restore traction.
