Superbike
ENGINEERED BY THE STOPWATCH
The Superbike family for 2008 features two important changes: the introduction of a mid-engine size version, the light and nimble 848 , and an extreme 'racing' version for all those who demand the maximum performance, the 1098 R version that will take part in the 2008 World Superbike Championship.
The priority in every step of the 848 and 1098 development has been
performance first.
Every system, every detail and every component has been studied and reduced down to its essence and performance increased to the maximum.
If
it didn't make our Superbike lighter, faster or deliver quicker lap times,
it wasn't considered.
The result: the 1098 is the most powerful twin-cylinder motorcycle in
the world. The 848 and 1098 are the lightest, fastest stopping,
quickest lapping Ducati Superbikes in history. For the first time
Ducati MotoGP and World Superbike technology have been combined to
create premier sport bikes. The results are stunning.
DESIGNED BY THE RACETRACK
The look and stance of the 848 and 1098 were designed by the combination of race track technology, track-derived components and Ducati heritage. The Superbikes striking aerodynamic shape naturally embraces its riding position, configured by our racers and test riders for optimum speed and agility. The racing spirit takes form.
Arguably the most exciting and sought after motorcyle ever released, the 1098 will never fail to impress whether on the road or the track.2008 superbike MODELS
