Ducati 1098 (2008)

The Ducati 1098 is an uncompromisingly focused performance machine, every aspect of its design and engineering geared towards delivering the ultimate riding experience.

Its potent Testastretta EVOluzione engine pumps out a remarkable 126 horsepower at 9,250 rpm, courtesy of 92mm throttle bodies and a revised camshaft profile. The engine’s linear power delivery is matched by the bike’s handling prowess, thanks to its lightweight Trellis frame and progressive Showa monoshock.

The riding experience on the 1098 is nothing short of exhilarating, with razor-sharp turn-in and exceptional grip levels courtesy of Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa tyres. The Brembo Monobloc brakes are nothing short of incredible, stopping power that’s simply unmatched in production motorcycle territory.
