CHASSIS

Öhlins rear shock - The bike fits a Öhlins monoshock rear with an exceptionally high specification, spring preload fully adjustable and the ability to adjust rebound and compression damping. The damper also has a spring counter, which improves the ride feels aid in the adhesion of the rear tire was flat on the pavement, even in extreme conditions to maintain.

Single-sided swing arm - the double construction technique that is used for the back swing from one side only shows the main components of operation of the individual aluminum castings to be used to force to secure around the pivot points, cube and wheel assembly on the left, while lightweight aluminum profiles manufactured using the structure in a well designed component. The swingarm is color finished in black anodized 848EVO.

Trellis frame - Developed in collaboration with Ducati Corse, the lightweight tubular frame of 34 mm has main section tubes with a thickness of 1.5 mm. The result is a very rigid construction that remains one of the solutions clearer picture of Ducati history. Through decades of career and development, Ducati has shown that innovative chassis engineering and evolutionary progress under win races. The tubular chassis tube, which is used in every Ducati motorcycle is a design element of the firm. This unique Ducati frame is light thanks to its rigid and beautiful ingenious Trellis design and use of high ALS 450 tubing. Each tube is mitered and welded micro-fusion complex in a triangular pattern and our amazingly strong L-Twin engine cases are functional "strength member" of the chassis.

Showa forks - The 848EVO features fully adjustable 43 mm forks.

Cross mounted steering damper - a steering damper improves control keeps perfect front-end stability, supreme control and confidence inspiring, along with increased power.

Aerodynamics Superbike - Carefully designed for aerodynamic efficiency and clean lines of the chassis hugs the body allows the pilot to mix Superbikes effortlessly into position. The race developed fairing design ensures perfect integration with the cooling system of an efficient flow of advanced radiator, coolant high surface area support light assemblies, high flow electric fan and oil cooler. Aerodynamic air ducts located just below the headlamps are calculated with sufficient accuracy to provide air to the air box pressure. The lightweight bodywork contributes considerably to overall performance by reducing weight, protecting the Testastretta Evoluzione engine's power and help the rider to effortlessly 'tuck in' from the wind stream and reduce the resistance of a linear track maximum speeds.

330 mm discs - Special Edition double 848EVO Corse has monoblock calipers biting on larger dimensions 330 mm discs to guarantee exceptional performance braking. The weight of the disks is reduced to a minimum narrow surfaces racing type brake.

Lightweight 5-spoke wheels - The lightweight front wheels used on all Ducati Superbike models substantially reduces the moment of inertia, enabling a quick change of direction and enhanced acceleration and braking.

Two units polyellipsoidal light the way with a powerful beam while maintaining an aggressive look to the front of the machine in pure Ducati Superbike tradition. The backlight has a specially designed LED strips enhanced by a high diffusion lens shaped into the sleek lines of the tail. The same LEDs are intensified for brake lights. The directional indicators also use the latest LED technology for lighting. The frontal indicators are beautifully integrated into the mirrors.

GP-derived - This pure racing digital instrumentation home of Ducati MotoGP project has no switches or buttons of his danger and elegant, minimalist lines. However, information in addition to the standard display box managed from the left handlebar-mounted switches, allowing the rider to scroll through and select from various menus. The screen, which has a bright white backlight LED, presents rpm and speed, with the first displayed in a progressive bar graph. Optionally, the engine speed and the speed is shown in numerical values. Also shown are the lap times, DTC level selected (if activated on 1198) when the air temperature, coolant temperature, battery voltage, two trips and a trip that starts automatically when the system fuel is in standby mode. Warning lights illuminate to turn signals, neutral, high beam, rev-limit, low oil pressure, fuel reserve, DTC intervention (if activated on 1198 S, 1198 and 1198 SR Corse Corse) and maintenance scheduled shall be prohibited. The instrument panel is also used as control panels for the Doha Development Agenda (DDA kit supplied as standard on the S 1198, S 1198 and 1198 R Corse Corse) and DTC systems as well as lap times recorded list button with the high beam of light as a stopwatch.

Controls - 848EVO is equipped with adjustable levers Brembo radial master cylinders of working with foreign deposits. Add easy to use Stopwatch and cells with DTC and DDA management (if applicable) and shows that the functionality is an important addition to games services.

DTC uses the same software logic developed and used by Ducati Corse for their world championship winning MotoGP and World Superbike motorcycles and offers a selection of eight institutions by their test riders and professional racers.

Accessible from the left panel and displayed on the digital instrumentation, the system offers a choice of eight profiles, each programmed with a tolerance of wheel spin adapted to progressive levels of riding skill assigned one to eight. While level eight administers a confidence-building, high degree of interaction of the system by activating the least amount of wheel spin, level one offers a much higher tolerance and much less intervention for highly competent riders.

PDD Ready - The instrument panel also serves as a control panel to activate the Ducati Data Analyzer (DDA) system, available as a Ducati Performance accessory. The bike is built "system ready" for the data acquisition equipment, which is a special software DDA and a memory stick that is inserted into a plug under the seat. The same jack also serves as a connector for a battery charger handy new accessory available from Ducati Performance.
