The ultimate Panigale | Hell for Leather
Ducati’s just taken the wraps of the “R” version of its flagship superbike in Milan. There’s no claimed power increase, but Ti con-rods, DLC-coated rocker arms and a lighter flywheel boost max revs from 11,500 to 12,000rpm, ridiculously high for a 1199cc v-twin. Other changes are mostly cosmetic, with a host of carbon gewgaws and a full Termignoni system coming on the Ducati 1199 Panigale R as standard.
Ducati says: “The “R” version of Ducati’s Superbikes has always been the dream model, the machine taken by Ducati Corse and enhanced with high performance preparation for homologation into the highly competitive environment of World Superbike.”
“The 1199 Panigale R model introduces the very latest version of engine and R-b-W mapping to all the 1199 models, improving performance and refining the overall Superbike riding experience. The “R” takes everything that the “S” model is currently equipped with and applies a list of enhancements to the technical specification that enable the model to achieve even greater targets. Titanium con-rods, which save an overall 0.63kg (1.38lb), a 0.7kg (1.54lb) lighter crankshaft flywheel, DLC-coated rocker-arms and revised engine mapping now enhance the Superquadro engine’s crank acceleration and allow it to rev 500rpm higher to a 12,000rpm limit, an incredible engineering achievement for 112mm pistons.”
“The famous “R” race kit components consist of high-penetration racing screen, fairing mirror caps in machined alloy and a full Termignoni exhaust system with dedicated ECU mapping (for track use only). The system provides an impressive power increase of 3% at the top of the rev-range and 15% in the mid-range, further amplified by the R’s acceleration-enhancing 15-41 final drive ratio.”
“Additional enhancements to the machine include lightweight carbon fibre rear hugger, rear suspension guard, heels guards, ignition switch surround and top fairing inner panels and carbon fibre protectors for the single-sided swingarm and clutch cover. These lightweight chassis and engine components enable the “R” version a dry weight of just 165kg (363.7lb), even with an ABS braking system fitted as standard equipment. This top-of-the-range model is also fitted with a special race-style seat fabric for added “feel” and equipped with the GPS-enhanced Ducati Data Acquisition system, for automatic lap times and circuit map-linked data.”
“The 1199 Panigale R is dressed in Ducati red with defining white race features, sporting a mix of red and brushed aluminium on the fuel tank with lightweight forged wheels by Marchesini in black.”
Och så lite kompletteringar av någon insatt på forumet:
"The bike is "Officially" launched as of today! Here's what we know so far:
* Titanium con-rods
* Higher Rev limit
* Lighter flywheel
* CF engine cover on clutch side. This is not the DP part. It replaces the magnesium part
* Adjustable swingarm pivot by 2mm increments (Standard or -2mm or -4mm)
* Smaller rear sprocket
* Comes with all the CF as noted and the Racing Evo Full-system.
* Another new exhaust has been designed exclusively for racing. It is named the Racing Pro Exhaust as accessory +5-10hp on top but loses down low. It achieves this by a different header pipe (longer) along with a different up-map.
* The gas tank is beautifully painted on the top with red."
Gamla R baserad på 1098/1198 hade mer extra, 1199R har inte lika mycket "förädling" men priset ska ju vara relativt nära basmodellen och det är ju inte helt fel det heller.
Förövrigt känner jag inte att den är snyggare än 1199 med den lacken, men cool hoj helt klart. Alldeles för mycket effekt för oss vanliga förare
