1199 R Superleggera

Help Support Ducati Forum:

I caught this on FB. The URL doesn't show anything for me but a Ducati symbol and the 1201.

Is there something I'm missing? image.jpg
 
Yeah I can't figure it.

R model: $30k
Gas Ohlins: $12k
Mag rims: $4k
Nice paint: $2k
MISC: $7k


I'm still only at $55,000.00. Okay no Ti head stock, or mag swing arm, but WTF?

At least with mine I get gas charged Ohlins!

Don't forget the hype. It is sheer supply and demand. Hey, a 1920 Buffalo nickel is only worth .05, but to collectors it is worth thousands. Not the best example, but the same mentality.

No gas ohlins, but it looks like a magnesium upper frame, carbon body work, Akra Ti exhaust, Ti triples, Ti shock spring etc. So no real racer like the DD16, just uber expensive bits to make it lighter. Can't tell what the swing arm and sub frame are made of. Maybe mag painted black.

I couldn't justify the $65k personally, but it will make for 500 very happy people in a few months... and another couple hundred or so even happier in 2-3 years when they buy them for $40-45k.

Partial Reveal: The Technology
October 10th 2013: Today the Ducati 1201 Project Website revealed the Parts "Technology" in the Superleggera as an opening tease, with 2 more introductions planned in the next week: Mechanics on Oct 14th, and the complete bike Revealing on Oct 18th.
Here's what we can show you so far:



CRANKSHAFT
Crankshaft At Project 1201's very heart spins a forged steel crankshaft of exceeding strength, precision balanced with tungsten inserts and lightened to an incredible degree (-396g / 14 ounces vs. 1199 Panigale R), beyond in fact what was previously achieved for the Superbike 1199RS. An engineering statement of ultimate performance, this super-crankshaft gives Project 1201 a free-revving character unmatched outside of a premier-class professional race bike.

PISTONS
To absolutely maximize its engine output, Project 1201 uses pistons normally found in World Superbikes. Made of an incredibly light aluminium alloy (-97g / 3 ounces each vs. 1199 Panigale R), with a short skirt and two-ring design for minimal friction, these Superbike pistons harness the furious energy of combustion and translate it into tyre-smoking power.

Bare in mind these Project 1201's lightened engine parts, which will also include the R model's Titanium Connecting Rods, will increase the engine's ability to rev quicker and to higher RPMs- particularly on a future homologated race bike, but it also reduces the tractability / rideability of the Superquadro powered 1199 Superbike which Ducati riders have bee bemoaning both on and off the race track with the change from the much loved previous generation long-stroke Testastretta motor.



FRAME
The Monoscocca frame, already enormously innovative in its multifunctional minimalism, is transformed into a jewel by being sand-cast in magnesium alloy. Compact and rigid with excellent vibration absorption, the frame forms the ultimate lightweight backbone (-1.1Kg / 2.4 lbs vs. 1199 Panigale R) to support Project 1201's incredible performance.



SUBFRAME
Structural piece, or modern art? A complex subframe artisanally crafted in aerospace-quality carbon fibre is phenomenally light - less than a kilo (-1.2Kg vs. 1199 Panigale R) - and holds electronics as well as Project 1201's tail. Laterally and torsionally stiff, the subframe also supports the seat, providing an optimal foundation for the rider to assert full control.



SUSPENSION
To keep it always in perfect dynamic control on any surface and at any speed, Project 1201 features customized lightweight (-1.4Kg vs. 1199 Panigale R) suspension from the world-class Swedish suppliers Ohlins, including a titanium-spring TTX36 shock and Superbike-level FL916 lightened front fork with stress-optimized outer tubes and fully machined bottoms.

WHEELS
Computer designed and optimized, expertly forged from magnesium, and machined to balanced perfection, Project 1201's wheels are an essential component of its breathtaking performance. An astonishing 1kg / 2.2 lbs lighter than the already-featherweight wheels of the 1199 Panigale S/R, their reduction in unsprung rotating mass hugely benefits Project 1201's acceleration, braking, and handling.

This is some good info.. however the teaser video mentioned Tungsten.. not sure where that will be used. The only places I know that metal is used is in old bulb filaments and older CRT TVs.

Hit the "control" + the "f" on your keyboard. Type "tungsten" in the box. Hit "enter" a few times, and read the places it's highlighted.

Or, if you're on a Mac just read what you quoted in your post.

Tungsten is used extensively as a carbide alloy in machine cutters and also in some jewelry and in the electronics industry.

Its not something common in the automotive industry which is why I was wondering on where it would come of use..
