Ducati 1098 S (2008)

The Ducati 1098 S sets a new benchmark for high-performance motorcycles, its sleek design amplified by a suite of world-class components and meticulous attention to detail.

Engineered to deliver exceptional handling and control, the 1098 S boasts fully adjustable HILAS suspension with Titanium Nitride-treated fork sliders, providing seamless communication between the tyre-to-road contact patch and rider input.

With a focus on reducing unsprung weight, the ‘S’ mounts Marchesini forged and machined wheels, shaving an impressive 1.9 kg (4 lbs) from its overall mass. The bike’s lightweight credentials are further enhanced by carbon fibre front fender and seat fairing cooling ducts.

The result is a riding experience that is both exhilarating and intuitive, with the Ducati Data Analysis system supplied as standard equipment to help riders optimize their performance and extract every last ounce of potential from this extraordinary machine.
