Ducati

Automobili Lamborghini is lending support to Ducati in its dedication to enhancing motorcyclists’ safety. Ducati played a pivotal role at the Demo Event held at the Lausitzring race track in Germany, organized by the Connected Motorcycle Consortium (CMC). This event showcased the efficacy of motorcycle-car connectivity systems that have been developed as part of the consortium’s research.

The Connected Motorcycle Consortium (CMC) is an international association of prominent two-wheeled vehicle manufacturers committed to incorporating motorcycles into the future of connected mobility to enhance motorcyclists’ safety. Car manufacturers have long been researching and developing Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication technologies. CMC’s aim is to include information sent by motorcycles, which have distinct needs and dynamics, and standardize this data when integrating the technology across the entire motorcycle and car fleet.

A second collaboration between Lamborghini and Ducati was unveiled to the public at the San Marino Grand Prix at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli – the new Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini. An exclusive limited edition model, only 630 units will be built with each one priced at £55,995 (around RM288,350).

The Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini follows the Ducati Diavel 1260 Lamborghini which was presented two years ago in the first collaboration between the two companies, ambassadors of the ‘Made in Italy’ brand. While the first superbike was inspired by the Sian hybrid supercar, this latest one has been inspired by the Huracan STO.

The new superbike adopts the well-known ‘Fight Formula’ to the technical base of the Panigale V4 S 2023, while integrating elements and stylistic features that are unmistakably Lamborghini. Integrating technical and stylistic elements typical of Lamborghini DNA – and the Huracan STO, in particular – the superbike has exclusive livery in green and orange.

Huracan design elements
The Ducati Style Centre, in collaboration with Lamborghini’s Centro Stile, redesigned the superstructures of this special bike, drawing inspiration from the Huracan STO. It features specially-made forged wheels enhanced by the titanium clamping nut on the rear, with the front fender design is inspired by the air ducts integrated in the supercar’s ‘cofango’. The toe cap, radiator cover, wings, tank cover and tail are all made of carbonfibre, the same lightweight material used for all Lamborghinis.

The livery features the STO logo and the number ’63’, which refers to the year in which Lamborghini was founded. Multiply that number by 10 and you get 630 – the number of units of the superbike that will be available.

The colours used are exactly the same as those used for the Huracan STO, with a base in Verde Citrea (green) and contrasting parts in Arancio Dac (orange). The model name and the unique number of each unit are shown on a metal plate inserted in the central tank cover and an aluminium insert on the ignition key. Each owner will get a number Certificate of Authenticity for the superbike.

The superbike’s seat is also inspired by the Huracan STO’s seat finish with accents matching the superstructure. At the heart of the Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini is the 1103 cc Desmosedici Stradale engine with power of 208 ps with a dry clutch, as on the Ducati MotoGP and Superbike models.

Even more exclusivity
In addition to the 630 units, Ducati will offer an even more exclusive series dedicated to 63 Lamborghini customers. Thanks to the Ducati’s Style Centre and Speciale Clienti program, they will be able to create unique versions by customizing their Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini with livery and rims in the same colour as their car. It will then be possible to choose the brake caliper colours and seat details from those included in the Huracan STO palettes, in addition to the standard colour scheme.

Automobili Lamborghini and Ducati, both corporate citizens of the city of Bologna in Italy, have teamed up to create the Ducati Diavel 1260 Lamborghini motorcycle. Only a limited number of 630 units will be available, priced at not less than US$31,995 (around RM130,000).

Inspired by Lamborghini’s first hybrid supercar
The motorcycle possesses the common values of both brands – Italian excellence, sportiness, attention to design and a meticulous devotion to detail – with inspiration coming from the Lamborghini Sian FKP 37.

Ducati Diavel 1260 Lamborghini

Based on the Diavel 1260 S, the concept of the Diavel Lamborghini transfers the core concepts of the Sian FKP 37 to the motorcycle world, redesigning the components that most characterize the Ducati model.

The new, lightweight forged wheels explicitly recall those of the car, as do the air intakes and radiator covers made of carbonfibre that suggest superimposed floating elements on the main structure of the bike. Finally, the typical Ducati red is referenced by the colouring of the Brembo brake calipers.

Ducati Diavel 1260 Lamborghini

Each detail of the bike, redesigned by the Centro Stile Ducati for this specific project, is made of a light and precious material such as carbonfibre, also inspired by the car. In addition to the radiator covers and air intakes, the silencer cover, spoiler, central tank cover, seat cover, front and rear mudguards, dashboard cover and headlight frame are also made of the lightweight material.

Shared values in design and execution
“The Ducati Diavel inspired by the Lamborghini Sian celebrates our shared values: we are both Italian, we are inherently sporty, and our design always distinguishes our creations,” said Andrea Ferraresi, Director of Ducati Centro Stile. “The Diavel 1260 Lamborghini has been created by using the same design language that distinguishes the Sian FKP 37.”

Ducati Diavel 1260 Lamborghini

The livery of the Diavel 1260 Lamborghini was conceived by the collaboration between the Centro Stile Ducati and Centro Stile Lamborghini. The paints applied to the bike are the same as those used for the Sian FKP 37, with the bodywork characterized by the Verde (Green) Gea colour, while the frame, undertray and forged rims are embellished with the Oro (Gold) Electrum colour.

The important Lamborghini design elements of the hexagon and ‘Y’ motif are evident. This special version of the Diavel pays homage to the former in the shape of the exhaust and the latter in the seat’s aesthetic details.

As for the number ‘63’, this is a special number for Lamborghini as it was founded in 1963, and the number that multiplied by ten arrives at the 630 numbered units to be produced by Ducati.

It takes more than just a beautiful-looking machine with an impressive list of specifications to pull-off this feat that most folks would consider as ‘complete’. All the exact elements must blend in perfect harmony and this requires more than just fabricating machines and internal combustion engines when it comes to motorcycles. Ducati managed to pull off this feat by including spirit, joy, passion, people, lifestyle, and most important of all, satisfaction to the senses.

Our most recent trip to Bologna, Italy really showed us Ducati’s true colours not only in manufacturing some of the world’s most impressive high-performance motorcycles, but also showcasing how these bikes were born and bred to represent their lifestyle filled with fun, adventure, and the incarnation of the free-spirit.

The highlighted bike of the trip was none other than the 2019 Ducati Scrambler Icon and with Tuscany placed as the heart of the entire showcase, the entire Ducati Scrambler team brought the event to a whole new level when it comes to their latest evolution and addition to the ‘Land of Joy’ line-up.

It did not take us very long to experience the ‘magic’ behind the new 2019 Ducati Scrambler Icon. After 12 hours on two different aeroplanes, a 3-hour transit layover, and 2 hours on a bus from Borgo Panigale all the way to Borgo San Luigi, we had little time to prepare for what’s to come next.

It was only a short 10km ride up to Colle di Val d’Elsa for a short film showcasing the story behind the Ducati Scrambler and the new Icon but riding out from the hotel when the sun was setting with dust flying up from the gravel road couldn’t have been more epic. That perfect moment was more than enough to school me into believing that the Ducati Scrambler Icon is more than just a bike. It was a lifestyle meant to be experienced at its finest.

Two different riding routes were planned for us on the very next day where we tackled the winding hill road of the world famous Chianti Hills in the heart of Tuscany and an even more stunning panoramic route through Casole, Sovicille, and back up again through Monteriggioni.

Starting with the overall looks of the new Scrambler Icon, there’s not that much of a difference which can be seen which is what the Scrambler design theme had in mind. The previous was already impressive but it was lacking something that we couldn’t really comprehend at the time. This can be translated to a dash of ‘premium’ which is what the new Icon has at a level that is just right.

Upon inspection when compared side by side with the 2015 Scrambler Icon, all of us definitely noticed these said changes that not only elevated the machine but pulling off a timeless look but also maintained its modern classic appeal. Changes such as its new front headlamp with Daytime-Running Lights and a cool-looking ‘X’ feature really did set the tone for a good day of riding.

Other new external changes which add up to a more ‘premium’ package include:

  • Beefier aluminium side panels
  • LED indicators with auto turn-off feature
  • Styling updates for the wheels, exhaust headers, and muffler
  • New black gloss finishes for the engine cases

All these changes were welcomed with open arms as they brought a whole new look and feel to the Ducati Scrambler without sacrificing any of the elements that pay homage to the original spirit of the Ducati Scrambler. The true Italian spirit of adventure still resides in the new generation of Scrambler which will cater brilliantly to the masses.

As for the 2019 Ducati Scrambler Icon’s overall riding experience, the team had their sights on making the already versatile bike even more comfortable. These include a flatter seat that offers better riding positioning, a hydraulic clutch for ease of use, and a wider flat handlebar which houses new ergonomic switches.

The display panel looks exactly like the one found on the previous model but it has been updated with two new features which we simply adore; a gear indicator and fuel gauge! These may be modern features but catering to the free-spirited riding community, the last thing bike owners would want to worry about is how much fuel is left by peeking into the tank and sloshing the bike around for signs of petrol.

A host of internal upgrades also gave the new Icon a great riding experience that offers comfort, fun, agility, as well as safety. The suspension package has been revised which seemed excellent to some media members but a bit on the softer end for some. After 140km of riding, it seemed almost impossible to find any fault with the brand new machine.

The safety aspect has been elevated as well as the bike is meant to tackle a variety of road condition such as city streets and minor off-road excursions. The addition of an six-axis IMU (inertial measurement unit) and Cornering ABS taken straight from the Ducati Panigale superbike series, the Scrambler Icon is now safer than ever.

The 2019 Icon still retains its 803cc L-Twin Desmodue Euro4-compliant engine offers smooth response and linear torque through the gears. Tackling the winding hill sections was great fun and worry-free as most of us only had to maintain it in third for some fun in the sun.

As for power and speed, the 803cc engine simply delivers without overwhelming the rider. Just kick it into fourth and fifth and you’ll easily find yourself flying at exciting speeds which was thoroughly enjoyed by the whole lot.

Other aspects of the Icon have been retained from the previous generation in which the Ducati design team figured that the new updates are capable of bringing out the best of the hardware already on offer in the recent years. The Icon was never meant to be a full-fledged off-road machine but thanks to specs like the Pirelli MT60 rubbers and more, the latest-generation Scrambler will not be able to stop those with the heart to explore and venture into slightly rougher terrains.

All in all, the new Ducati Scrambler Icon is the true representation of the Italian culture, spirit, and adventurous lifestyle for those who seek something exciting and bold yet youthful. Having met the people and explored the wonderful roads of Tuscany, we finally understand how the Scrambler Icon is not just a bike but a true statement of passion and joy in a culture that demands to be free.

As for pricing, the current generation is priced at RM55,900 (recommended retail price sans road tax & insurance) and we expect a slight hike for the 2019 model considering all the extra bits fitted onto it like the Cornering ABS plus more.

The new 2019 Ducati Scrambler Icon is without a doubt Ducati’s ultimate bike when it comes to evoking the true sense of emotions, pleasure, and culture of the true Italian spirit that is the Land of Joy. While the brand is widely-known for some of the world’s most impressive motorcycles ever made like the Ducati Panigale V4, the true form of #Joyvolution is represented the most in the Ducati Scrambler range. – Sep Irran, Editor @ MotoMalaya.net

 

Next Bike Sdn Bhd, official distributor of the Ducati brand in Malaysia today unveiled three high performance and stylish bikes to Malaysians; the Ducati Panigale V4 & V4 S, Multistrada 1260 S and Monster 821“Incorporating the essence of Italian style, Ducati motorcycles are engineered with performance and endurance in mind which makes it suitable for riding on the various Malaysian roads.

Ducati Panigale V4 –Versatile and Made for the Track…

The Ducati Panigale V4 marks an important milestone in the Ducati brand’s history as a “symphony” of all-Italian performance and emotion, being the first mass-produced Ducati bike to mount a four-cylinder engine. The superbike was derived directly from the MotoGP Desmosedici, developed in close collaboration with Ducati Corse by drawing directly on know-how and technology from the racing world to provide a road bike closest to its MotoGP counterpart.

Elegant, muscular and equipped with cutting-edge technology, the Panigale V4 is the epitome of Italian sports elegance with a completely new design enhanced from its predecessors, built for both excellent on-track performance and outstanding on-road ridability. Combining the alluring “Panigale” tag and the “V4” designation, the new exclusive superbike indicates the start of a whole new era for the Ducati brand.

The Panigale V4 tops the Ducati supersport range with its enhanced performance and rider-friendliness – riders of all skill levels can experience boundless fun and excitement on the bike. Powered by the new Desmosedici Stradale engine, just like the Desmosedici GP, the Panigale V4 is the most powerful bike in its segment with a maximum of 214 hp at 13,000 rpm with a power/weight ratio of 1:1, and has a torque of 12.6 Kgm at 10,000 rpm which makes it easy to handle. Its engine is the only one in the sports segment with a 90º V configuration and uses a counter-rotating crankshaft and twin pulse ignition which contributes to the agility of the superbike when making a change in direction, while ensuring easier out-of-the-corner torque handling.

Equipped with state-of-the-art control electronics, the new Panigale V4 sets a new performance benchmark with raised vehicle safety and dynamics control standards as it uses the latest generation six-axis inertial platform data (6D IMU). Other extensive safety features include controlled slides during braking, front wheel ABS Cornering designed for track riding and Quickshift Up & Down (DQS) that tackles lean angles. With a variety of accessories and performance parts packages for upgrade solutions available, the Ducati Panigale V4 starts at RM129,900 and the V4 S starts at RM169,900.

Ducati Multistrada 1260 S – Ultimate Touring Companion…

First launched in 2010, the Multistrada was the start of a new revolution in the motorcycling world by offering four bikes in one; from sport bike to long-distance tourer, from everyday runabout to enduro. With its many new features and Riding Modes, the Ducati Multistrada 1260 S brings a whole new level of performance, greater usability, control, comfort and fun.

Maximising the concept of versatility, the Ducati Multistrada 1260 S was made for touring the urban and rural Malaysian landscapes. Equipped with a new engine, chassis and cutting-edge electronics, its performance and control is significantly improved when riding in any condition and on any road. The heart of the Ducati Multistrada 1260 S is the new Euro 4 approved 1262 cc Ducati Testastretta DVT engine which gives ample low-to-mid range torque. The super bike is now even more pleasurable for everyday use as it offers the highest torque output in its class at 4,000 rpm – the most frequently used average rotation rate when riding. To further enhance its power delivery, the bike also comes complete with the new Ride-by-Wire system to ensure smoother throttle control and Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) Up & Down which significantly improves the riding experience.

The Ducati Multistrada 1260 S was ergonomically designed to ensure comfort during travels. Donning a new chassis with a longer swing arm and new shape at the front end, the rider can easily tackle curves while ensuring maximum stability at full load. The versatile superbike is also equipped with the revolutionary Bosch IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) platform which controls Cornering ABS, Ducati Cornering Lights and Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) with highly revered semi-active Ducati Skyhook suspension (DSS) Evolution control system and Vehicle Hold Control that ensures easy and safe uphill starts. The Ducati Multistrada 1260 S is priced at RM129,900 (red) and RM130,900 (grey).

Ducati Monster 821 – Perfect for the Sporty and Adventurous Urbanites…

 The Ducati Monster 821 is the heir to the iconic Monster 900 at the Cologne Motor Show in 1992. With an impressive upgrade, the new Monster 821 embodies the essence of naked sport feel, agility and power, and combines perfect performance with outstanding rider-friendliness, ideal for manoeuvering through the congested Malaysian traffic.

Characterised by the iconic Monster design, the Monster 821’s volumes, silhouette, tank and classic headlight are true to the original lines of its 1993 predecessor but revisited with a modern flair. Similar to the original Monster, the iconic tank also comes with a fastening hook. For the first time on the mid-size Monster, the bike also comes with the colour TFT display with selected gear and fuel indicators. Engineered to deliver a maximum power of 109 hp at 9,250 rpm, the Ducati Monster 821 is equipped with the Euro 4 compliant liquid-cooled Testastretta 11º engine with 8.8 kgm of torque at 7,750 rpm for high performance and agility.

The Monster 821 conveys pleasant riding sensations without compromising its safety with the Ducati Safety Pack consisting of Bosch ABS and Ducati Traction Control. For maximum safety, the Ducati Monster 821 also comes with three Riding Modes which allow for easy adjustment of ABS DTC and Power Modes, letting riders transform the bike into three different motorcycles personalities. The bike also features Brembo brakes with dual 320 mm discs and M4-32 monobloc radial callipers up front, and a refined suspension system with adjustable shock absorber at the rear.
