Introducing the All New 2012 Ducati 1199 Panigale
The most extreme benchmark
The 1199 Panigale sets the most extreme benchmark ever and its arrival represents one of the most historic moments in Ducati’s incredible Superbike history.
Unmistakably Ducati
Every last detail of the 1199 Panigale pays tribute to our rich heritage of racing: each component is not only functionally efficient, but beautifully engineered into pieces of automotive art.
The fairings sweep back towards the rear of the bike, emphasizing the pulled-in effect, so much that the fairing surface had to be cut to house the engine covers and exhaust pipe.
Another highly distinctive feature of this bike is the rear light mounted in the streamlined and pointed tail.
Everything about this bike communicates power, elegance and agility.
Monocoque technology
Monocoque technology was the fundamental starting point for achieving the twin objectives of reduced weight and increased power. By integrating the activities of the individual components there was a reduction in the overall number of components and their weight.
The end result is a reduction in bike weight of 10 kg compared to the 1198. The 1199 Panigale has achieved an incredible benchmark for the sector: dry weight of only 164 kg.
Weight distribution and ergonomics
The weight distribution of the 1199 Panigale without rider is 52% at the front and 48% at the rear (vs 1198’s 50/50) which becomes an optimal 50/50 with the rider getting on, ensuring maximum stability and agility of the bike.
Innovative suspension
The 1199 Panigale S and Tricolore are fully equipped with front and rear Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES) system by Öhlins.
Both the 43mm Öhlins NIX30 forks and the Öhlins TTX36 rear unit are electronically adjustable in compression and rebound, while spring pre-load is manual.
New generation brakes and ABS
The 1199 Panigale is equipped with Brembo’s Monobloc M50 callipers, so called to celebrate the 50˚ anniversary of the Italian company, Brembo.
With an extremely compact design, that ensure a weight saving of 7% compared to the previous one, and machined from a single piece of alloy, the M50 callipers achieve a higher rigidity and resistance to distortion during extreme braking.
New wheel and tyre designs
The 1199 Panigale S and 1199 Panigale S Tricolore are equipped with stylishly designed, triple 3-spoke, forged and machined wheels by Marchesini.
Finished in black with signature red pin-striping, the super lightweight wheels represent a 0.4kg (0.88lb) weight-saving over previous components.
LED lights
The horizontal twin headlamps have become more integrated with the frontal intake ducts and create a true “race face” for the new Superbike.
While the 1199 Panigale illuminates with LED positioning lights and main light bulbs, the 1199 Panigale S and Tricolore boast full LED positioning and lighting solutions, for the first time in the motorcycle world.
Twin rear lights are moulded perfectly around the recessed seat air ducts and illuminate with an attractive light-guide surround effect, enhanced with LED brake lights. Front LED indicators are integrated into the mirror bodies and rear indicators, which are also LED* (*Country specific), are styled with clear lenses.
Thin Film Transistor screen (TFT)
The 1199 Panigale instrumentation takes Thin Film Transistor (TFT) screen to the next step with a stunning race-derived unit that embraces the very latest information display technology.
The full colour display automatically changes its layout according to the Riding Mode selected in order to provide optimum clarity of information appropriate to the motorcycle’s environment, even reversing its character and background colours in low-light conditions.
Ducati Riding Modes
Each Riding Mode is pre-programmed to instantly change the engine’s Power Mode and the suspension set-up in addition to ABS, DTC and EBC levels - even while riding. The modes are made possible by combining a number of class-leading technologies.

Performance perfection
The Superquadro is the most powerful twin-cylinder production engine on the planet and is destined to power the new Ducati 1199 Panigale with absolute performance perfection.
The most extreme benchmark ever
The innovative Superquadro engine, so called because of its massively over-square bore and stroke ratio, has increased power to an absolute production twin-cylinder milestone of 195hp and torque to 98.1 lb-ft (13.5kgm) with user-friendly Riding Modes that deliver that power appropriate to the rider’s style and environment.
Its construction has enabled a radical reduction in overall vehicle weight and, further identifying Ducati’s constant pursuit of performance perfection, major services have been extended to 24,000km (15,000 miles).
Extreme Dimensions
In calculating the optimum configuration to achieve the next big step forward in power output for the L-twin engine, Ducati and Ducati Corse engineers increased engine speed and enhanced breathability with the incredible bore and stroke of 112mm x 60.8mm. The intense study of power and ridability resulted in an output of 195hp @ 10,750rpm and 98.1 lb-ft (13.5kgm) @ 9,000rpm.
Engine architecture
With the engine designed to be a fully stressed member of the chassis, its architecture has been completely re-calculated to provide the best possible vehicle construction for layout, weight distribution and strength.
Desmo dependent
With such an extreme engine, never before has Ducati's unique Desmodromic system been so vitally important. With the high engine speeds at which the Superquadro operates combined with such large valves, it would be impossible for the valve’s rocker-arm to follow the steep closure profile of the cam lobe using normal valve closure springs.
The Desmo system actuates valve closure mechanically with the same method and accuracy as it opens, enabling steep cam profiles, radical cam timings, large valves and high operating speeds. This system is used on every single Ducati motorcycle and constantly proven on Ducati Corse’s World Superbikes and Desmosedici MotoGP bikes.
The power of precision
Controlling such large valves with the precise Desmodromic system also led engineers to replace the original belt-drive concept with a combined chain and gear-drive arrangement.
New transmission
Ducati’s engineers also capitalised on the opportunity of the “blank canvas” project to increase dimension between the centres of the six-speed gearbox shafts, enabling larger diameter, stronger gears to transmit the enhanced power output.
New for a top-of-the-range Ducati Superbike is a “wet”, oil-bath clutch. Based very closely on the design of the Multistrada and Diavel components, the clutch assembly features a “slipper” function and a progressive self-servo mechanism that compresses the friction plates when under drive from the engine. While enhancing frictional efficiency, this also results in a rider-friendly light clutch lever “feel” at the handlebar. Conversely, when the drive force is reversed (over-run), the mechanism reduces pressure on the friction plates, enabling a true racing “slipper” action, reducing the destabilizing effect of the rear-end under aggressive down-shifting and provide a much smoother feeling when closing the throttle or down-shifting under normal riding conditions.
Stressed-element engine
The Superquadro engine is a fully stressed member of the vehicle chassis. The stressed-element engine and monocoque frame integrate to form a compact, lightweight structure. In this configuration, the swingarm, rear suspension and rear sub-frame attach directly to the engine.
Monocoque technology
The monocoque structure, made in cast aluminium, incorporates the steering head and airbox and attaches directly to both Superquadro cylinder heads.
Superquadro
The innovative Superquadro engine is so called because of its massively over-square bore and stroke ratio of 112mm x 60.8mm and is designed as a fully stressed member of the chassis. Its power reaches an absolute production twin-cylinder milestone of 195hp at 10,750 rpm and torque to 98.1 lb-ft (13.5kgm) at 9,000 rpm.
Riding Mode
The 1199 Panigale Riding Modes effectively offer the perfect set-up to suit rider and environment. Titled Race, Sport and Wet the modes are pre-programmed to instantly change power delivery (Power Mode), ABS system intervention (if equipped), DTC, DQS and EBC levels, instrumentation layout and in the "S" version the suspension set-up (DES). Each Riding Mode can be modified and saved.
Power Mode
The Power Modes are the different engine mappings which can be selected to change power delivery according to rider style and environmental requirements. For the 1199 Panigale, there are three levels, each one corresponding to a Riding Mode
120hp with smooth throttle response
195hp with smooth throttle response
195hp with direct throttle response
Ride by Wire (RbW)
The Ride-by-Wire (RbW) system is an electronic control device for throttle opening and closing. With no mechanical connection between the twistgrip and the throttle bodies, the engine ECU adjusts power delivery according to the amount of throttle opening. The Ride-by-Wire system enables modified power delivery according to the selected Riding Mode in addition to enabling control for EBC and DTC.
Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES)
The Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES) system by Öhlins enables automatic compression and rebound damping adjustment, ensuring an optimum suspension set-up for each Riding Mode or to suit personal requirements according to riding style.
Ducati Traction Control (DTC)
The Ducati Traction Control (DTC) offers a choice of eight profiles, each one pre-programmed with a wheel-spin tolerance graded from one to eight. Each Riding Mode corresponds to a different, pre-set level of intervention by the system.
While level eight administers a confidence-building, high level of interaction from the system by activating upon the slightest detection of wheel-spin, level one offers a much higher tolerance and so reduced intervention for highly competent riders.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) 9ME
The 1199 Panigale introduces the very latest in sport-oriented ABS technology. The three-level ABS 9ME system is fully integrated with the three Riding Modes. When in RACE mode the system enables full ABS on the front only for enhanced track performance.
Engine Brake Control (EBC)
The Engine Brake Control (EBC) system optimises vehicle stability under extreme corner entry conditions by balancing the positive and negative forces of torque subjected to the rear tyre during severe engine-braking. EBC monitors throttle position, gear selected and crankshaft de-acceleration rate and administers precise RbW throttle openings to balance the torque forces acting on the tyre. EBC has a three level operating system and is integrated into the three Riding Modes.
Ducati Quick Shift (DQS)
The Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) system is a race-derived electronic component which allows the rider to keep the throttle open when changing-up through the gearbox, helping to save vital fractions of a second in the pursuit of faster lap-times.
Ducati Data Analyzer+ (DDA+)
DDA+ is the latest generation of the Ducati Data Analyser system and introduces a GPS function that automatically records lap-times every time the 1199 Panigale crosses a circuit start/finish line. The integrated GPS function also allows main vehicle parameters to be viewed on the circuit map (throttle opening, vehicle speed, engine rpm, gear selected, engine temperature and DTC intervention).
