Ducati 1199
The Ducati 1199 Panigale is a motorcycle model of the Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati. The Superbike was unveiled at the EICMA motorcycle show on November 14, 2011 in Milan and is sold since March 2012.
Technology
The drive is provided by a liquid-cooled two-cylinder engine with 1199 cc, according to the manufacturer in 1198 cc. The cylinder bank angle of the V engine is 90 °, Ducati describes him as a 90 ° L engine. Among other things, the new engine was 6 degrees inclined to shorten back to the wheelbase and the wheels to improve the center of gravity and weight distribution again. The newly developed four-stroke engine with the designation Super Quadro produces a rated power of 143 kW ( 195 hp ) and maximum torque of 132 Nm. The four valves per cylinder are driven by two overhead camshafts, camshaft drive is a combination of gears and chain. The closing of the valves are desmodromic. The electric motor is started. To keep the electric starter power at the high compression ratio of 12.5:1 low, as " decompressor " designated automatically acting valve lifter mechanism the profile of the opening cam is used, controlled by centrifugal force at cranking speed changed.
The name " Super Quadro " points to the strongly square cylinder design, the [= 1:1,842 ] has at 112 mm bore and 60.8 mm stroke an unusual stroke ratio 0.543.
The chassis is based on a monocoque chassis made of aluminum and magnesium profiles, has a rear swingarm and front an upside -down telescopic fork by Marzocchi. (S and R version has an electronic Öhlinsfahrwerk and Öhlins steering damper ). The chassis, the rear frame and rear swingarm are mounted directly on the engine.
The power conversion is performed by a six-speed transmission, the secondary drive via a chain. The power of separation performed a hydraulically operated wet clutch with anti- hopping. The electronic circuit breaker "Ducati Quick Shift (DQS ) " allows - in the interest of minimum time loss during switching to acceleration phases - a gear shift at full throttle without using the clutch lever.
At the front tire delayed a dual hydraulic disc with four- piston radial Brembo calipers, rear disc brake with a single-piston caliper. A together with Bosch developed, Switchable anti-lock braking system prevents blockages. An Engine Brake Control ( EBC) improves the tracking stability under severe braking. The Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES) changed depending on driving modes Race, Sport and Wet with electric servo motors, the adjustment of the Ohlins fork and shock absorber. (Various options described only Panigale S Tricolore and R)
The 2-in -1 -into-2 exhaust system is located below the engine block and opens into a double stainless steel rear silencer with aluminum cladding. The exhaust after-treatment is carried out over a catalyst with two lambda probes and satisfies the limits of exhaust emission standard EURO 3. Original Panigale is quite loud in the measuring range it shorts a flap to the limits to achieve.
In 2013, Ducati announced the 1199 Superleggera on the basis of the 1199 Panigale R. The limited series of 500 pieces and costs around € 65,000 in Germany, - in Austria about € 75.000, -. The engineers with innovative materials, such as magnesium, tungsten, and titanium tried to minimize the weight of the motorcycle, at the same time, the power rose to approximately 205 HP.
Name
Borgo Panigale is the suburb of Bologna, produces motorcycles in the Ducati since its inception.
Reviews
"Of course the question arises, given the performance of the Panigale, what sense does it all. Spite of the numerous electronic helpers, it remains a motorcycle that has nothing to search in normal road traffic. Only very disciplined and experienced drivers should be able to master the forces occurring at all. "
" The Panigale can be folded enormous jagged despite the fat 200/55 ZR 17 at the rear, which is also due to the lever arm of the stub. These ten kilos come less weight, centralized mass, and a top-heavy weight distribution. The feather-light forged wheels of S are handy addition. When handling are worlds 1198-1199, the Panigale wags tail like a dachshund through the exchange curves. "
