The Ducati 1199 Panigale is a motorcycle model from the Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati . The superbike was presented on November 14, 2011 at the EICMA motorcycle fair in Milan and has been on sale since March 2012.

technology

It is driven by a liquid-cooled two - cylinder engine with a capacity of 1199 cm³, according to the manufacturer, with a displacement of 1198 cm³. The cylinder bank angle of the V-engine is 90 °, Ducati calls it a 90 ° L-engine. Among other things, the new engine was tilted 6 ° backwards in order to shorten the wheelbase and further improve the center of gravity and weight distribution on the wheels. The newly developed four-stroke engine called Superquadro generates a nominal output of 143 kW (195 hp) and a maximum torque of 132 Nm. The four valves per cylinder are controlled by two overhead camshafts , the camshaft drive is a combination of gear wheels and chain. The valves are closed desmodromically . The engine is started electrically. In order to keep the electrical starter performance low at the high compression ratio of 12.5: 1, an automatically operating valve lifter mechanism known as a “decompressor” is used, which changes the profile of the opening cams at the starting speed, controlled by centrifugal force.

The name "Superquadro" indicates the strongly undersquare cylinder design, which has the unusual stroke ratio of 0.543 [= 1: 1.842] with a 112 mm cylinder bore and 60.8 mm piston stroke .

The chassis is based on a monocoque chassis made of aluminum and magnesium profiles, has a single-sided swing arm at the rear and an upside-down telescopic fork from Marzocchi (S and R versions have an electronic chassis and steering damper from Öhlins ). The chassis, the rear frame and the swing arm are flanged directly to the engine.

The power is converted by a six-speed gearbox, the secondary drive by a chain. The power separation is performed by a hydraulically operated oil bath clutch with anti-hopping . The electronic gearshift "Ducati Quick Shift (DQS)" enables - in the interest of less time lost when upshifting in acceleration phases - to change gears at full throttle without operating the clutch lever.

A double disc brake with four-piston radial brake calipers from Brembo decelerates on the front tire, and a disc brake with a single-piston brake caliper at the rear. A disengageable anti-lock braking system developed together with Bosch prevents brake blockages. An Engine Brake Control (EBC) improves directional stability under severe braking. The Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES) changes the setting of the Öhlins fork and the shock absorber depending on the riding modes Race, Sport and Wet with electric servomotors (various options described only for Panigale S, Tricolore and R).

The 2-in-1-in-2 exhaust system is located below the engine block and ends in a double rear silencer made of stainless steel with an aluminum casing. The exhaust after-treatment is carried out over a catalyst with two lambda probes and meets the limit values of the emission standard EURO3. Originally the Panigale is already quite loud, in the measuring range it briefly closes a flap to reach the limit values. An extra silencer is even required for the Japanese market, and the clutch housing is additionally provided with a sound-absorbing casing.

Special model "1199 Superleggera"

In 2013 Ducati announced the 1199 Superleggera (Italian: super light ) based on the Panigale 1199 R. Weight was saved with a magnesium instead of aluminum chassis, milled magnesium forged rims, a titanium spring on the rear shock absorber, a titanium exhaust from the Slovenian manufacturer Akrapovic, carbon cladding and rear frame as well as a lithium instead of a lead battery. The engine has also been optimized: milled pistons with only two piston rings, titanium valves, lighter crank webs with tungsten weights. Together with a lighter chain and over 100 titanium screws, these changes mean that the motorcycle weighs another 12 kg less. The output has been increased to 149 kW / 205 PS. The series, limited to 500 pieces, cost around € 65,000 in Germany and around € 75,000 in Austria and was sold out before the first machines were delivered.

Surname

Borgo Panigale is the suburb of Bologna where Ducati has been manufacturing motorcycles since its inception.

Comments

“Despite the fat 200/55 ZR 17 in the rear, the Panigale can be folded down extremely jagged, which is also due to the lever arm of the stub. In addition, there is ten kilos less weight, centralized masses and a top-heavy weight distribution. The feather-light forged wheels of the S make things even easier. The handling is worlds between 1198 and 1199, the Panigale wags like a dachshund tail through the alternating curves. "
