They claim that “The 1098 R is the ultimate Superbike. The most advanced, most powerful twin-cylinder motorcycle ever built with the highest torque-to-weight ratio in the sport bike category.. It is the product of a team of designers and engineers focussed on one objective only - to win” Its competition specification and superior components together with advanced electronics and race-proven chassis technology deliver a level of performance that empowers you with confidence and capability.
FEATURES
The Ducati 1098R uses a advanced chassis.The 1098 R chassis and suspension components are the results of detailed study and a performance first priority approach to development.The 1098 R engine represents the finest twin-cylinder technology in the world. It produces 180hp (132.4kW) at 9,750rpm and 99.1 lb-ft (13.7kgm) of brute torque at 7,750rpm in standard mode and an astonishing 186hp when using the supplied race kit (intended strictly for track use only).A true competition-level traction control system comes integrated into the 1098 R electronics as standard equipment.
A race kit is also integrated to Ducati 1098R which boosts power output from 180 to approximately 186hp. The kit consists of a 102dB carbon fibre slip-on muffler kit by Termignoni and a dedicated ECU. The ECU not only has reconfigured mapping to suit the racing mufflers, but also initiates the system dialogue that controls the DTC (Ducati Traction Control) system. The 1098 R is the first ever production bike to be fitted with a true competition-level traction control.
