Ducati 1199 Superleggera Design
Its components, incredible as they may be on their own, become something even greater under the Superleggera's cohesive vision - to exceed every limit of light weight and performance.

The 1199 Superleggera's form expresses this goal perfectly. Sleek and aggressive, it is based on the award-winning design of other Ducati Superbikes but features a modified front cowl shape for increased aerodynamic performance at high speeds. Fashioned entirely in carbon fibre, the bodywork wraps tautly around the 1199 Superleggera's muscular interior and is finished in unmistakable Corse Red to announce the performance within.

The end result is simply the most impressive Ducati ever offered. Fully street-legal, it features ABS, mirrors, lights, and long standard maintenance intervals; while being as light as a full World Superbike and making comparable power. An engineering dream made real, the 1199 Superleggera sets new standards of motorcycle construction, paving the way for the entire Superbike lineup in Ducati's never-ending quest to advance performance

Ducati 1199 Superleggera Technical Specifications
The 1199 Superleggera is the most exclusive and extreme Ducati ever made.

An unprecedented 200+ horsepower in homologated configuration (205+ with included racing exhaust) and a 166Kg weight ready-to-ride without gas (around the same as a Superbike in full racing trim) give it the best, by far, power to weight ratio of any homologated motorcycle.

Accordingly, Ducati's test rider Alessandro Valia has obtained with the 1199 Superleggera the best time ever for a street Ducati around the Tuscan Mugello circuit, an incredible 1'54"9.

Ducati 1199 Superleggera Suspension
To keep it always in perfect dynamic control on any surface and at any speed, 1199 Superleggera 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.

Ducati 1199 Superleggera Braking
A bike as blindingly fast as 1199 Superleggera requires the best brakes available, so Ducati's engineers equipped it with Brembo M50 Monobloc front callipers, each milled from a single piece of aluminium.

Controlling these is Brembo's exclusive new MCS radial master cylinder, which offers the ability to adjust its ratio for the perfect balance of power and feeling. As a pure racing touch, a remote adjuster lets the rider set brake lever distance on-the-fly to compensate for pad wear.

These exemplary braking components are even further enhanced by 1199 Superleggera's great recurring advantage, its light weight. Forged magnesium wheels and a featherweight chassis offer as little resistance to being slowed down as they do to being accelerated.

And to complete the mechanical package, 1199 Superleggera's braking system is given electronics in the form of advanced ABS and configurable rear wheel lift-up control, putting unparalleled braking power and ultimate control in the hands of every rider, in all conditions.

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

Ducati 1199 Superleggera 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 vs. 1199 Panigale R) to support 1199 Superleggera's incredible performance.

Ducati 1199 Superleggera 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 1199 Superleggera's tail. Laterally and torsionally stiff, the subframe also supports the seat, providing an optimal foundation for the rider to assert full control.

I was using the +200HP as my cut-off before I bought another superbike, because I love my 1098R, however, I have been lusting for more power in the twisties in the Catskills. Unfortunately, I was thinking I was going to buy the yet-to-be released Honda V4. Thank you Ducati for building such a technologically beautiful superbike and it sure will look great sitting next to an Audi R8.

Bravo Ducati and thank you Audi!

It's the "Corse Red" racing color used on the GP bikes and the Desmosedici. It's more orange than the typical Ducati Red color.
