2012 Ducati 848 EVO Control & Stopping Power
With motorcycles as capable as the Ducati 848 EVO and 848 EVO Corse Superbikes............. superior braking power is fundamental.
Every new Ducati
Superbike now uses Brembo's powerful planet stopping Monobloc caliper
racing technology. Machined from a single piece of alloy, the calipers
achieve a higher rigidity and resistance to distortion during extreme
braking.
The resulting increase in hydraulic efficiency not only
delivers incredible braking power, but also provides an enhanced and
precise 'feel' at the brake lever. The twin Monobloc calipers each have
quadruple 34mm pistons that grip huge 330mm (320mm on 848 EVO) discs to help achieve
spectacular brake performance. The weight of the discs has been kept to
a minimum by employing racing-style narrow braking surfaces.
Super lightweight wheels
The lightweight front wheels of the
848 EVO and 848 EVO Corse substantially reduces the moment of
inertia, enabling a faster change of direction and enhanced
acceleration and braking performances. The construction of the rear
wheels are equally as impressive with considerable weight savings over
traditional Ducati single-sided swingarm fitments.
The 848 EVO and 848 EVO Corse are equipped with Y-shaped, 5-spoke wheels which are finished in
black or red.
The 848 EVO and 848 EVO Corse models are fitted with Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SC at 120/70 ZR17 for the front fitment and 180/55 ZR17 for the rear. These tyres provide shoulder areas designed to maximize contact patch area and length and carcass specially designed for stiffness under heavy braking and precision during high speed cornering.
