Can someone walk me through the "changes" Ducati made in power measurement? My understanding is claimed numbers dropped, which would indicate a transition from measurement at the crank (engine dyno) to measurement at the wheel. (chassis dyno)
This makes no logical sense, as almost all manufacturers are known for claiming numbers at the crank, and its also the most accurate form of measurement despite those numbers being inflated against what we see in real world applications. Yet an article from Visordown claims the opposite, stating...
"Ducati has used chassis dynos to get its advertised performance figures, while homologation requires the use of an engine dyno – in updating its claims the firm’s bikes have become ‘less powerful’ on paper."
Even if that were true, the numbers would have gone up from lack of parasitic loss in the drivetrain, not down.
Please explain.
