World Championship-winning technology... The 1098 / 1198 was born to perform. Its victory-driven technology comes directly from Ducati’s World Championship-winning race bikes – and it’s evident in every detail of the bike. For the first time Ducati MotoGP and World Superbike technology have been combined to create premier sport bikes. The priority in every step of the 1098 and 1198 development has been performance first. Every system, every detail and every component has been studied, pared down to its essence and performance increased to the maximum. If it didn’t make it lighter, faster or deliver quicker lap times, it wasn’t considered. The results are stunning. Ducati ’S’ performance. The ’ S’ creates a dream package, taking everything that the standard model has and adding top-of-the-range suspension, lightweight chassis components and Ducati’s impressive DTC system. Engineered by the Stopwatch - Built to win.
