The Ducati 1199 Superleggera has lived up to its name by being Superlight. It produces more than 200hp and weighs just 342 LBS (155 kg) dry weight. With all its fluids it weighs 390 pounds (177 kg), even less than a GT 250! This makes the motorcycle have the highest power to weight ratio on a production bike! This was achieved with a generous helping of carbon, magnesium and aliminium, ultra light materials.
Only 500 of these motorcycles are going to be produced and the price is not yet known.
Suspension duties are handled by lightweight Ohlins FL916 front suspension with fully-machined fork bottoms, and an Ohlins TTX36 rear suspension with titanium spring. Stopping the Superleggera are Brembo M50 Monoblock brakes with a racing-style MCS 19-21 front master cylinder and remote adjuster.
The finishing touches on the Superleggera are a lightweight Ergal rear sprocket, World Superbike spec 520 drive chain, carbon-fiber bodywork, forged and machined magnesium wheels, and Ducati Corse Red base livery.
When purchasing the Superleggera, buyers will also receive a Race Kit, which adds 5 horsepower and reduces weigh a further 5.5 lbs. for a total weight of 336.2 lbs.
This kit includes a titanium Akrapovic race exhaust system including silencers and 2-in-1 collector, high racing windscreen, dedicated dust cover, front and rear paddock stands, machined mirror fill-caps, and removal kits for the registration plate holder, and sidestand.
