1198S Corse

The priority in the design of the Ducati 1198 development has been performance first. Every system, every detail and every component has been studied and pared down to its base purpose of existance. Performance is increased to the maximum. If it didn’t make the 1198 lighter, faster or deliver quicker lap times, it wasn’t considered. The result: the Ducati 1198 is the most powerful twin-cylinder motorcycle in the world with the highest torque-to-weight ratio of any sport bike. The Ducati 1198 is the lightest, fastest stopping, quickest lapping Ducati in history. For the first time Ducati MotoGP and World Superbike technology have been combined to create a premier street bike. The results are stunning. Power comparisons in the press speak volumes. Throw a leg over this pedigree superbike and the experience will tell you the rest.

The Spirit
The look and stance of the Ducati 1198 and 848 were designed by the combination of race track technology, track-derived components and Ducati heritage. The 1198’s striking aerodynamic shape naturally embraces its riding position, configured by our racers and test riders for optimum speed and agility. The racing spirit takes form. 

The Superbike range boasts five versions: the new 848, the awesome 1198; the 1198 S, the 1198S Corse which comes with a termi can kit, for those who demand the ultimate in performance with the very best suspension, lightweight wheels and components; and the special '1198R Corse' - with the very striking Corse colour scheme, a full racing exhaust kit and a dedicated ECU.  Both of the Corse bikes come with the larger 18 litre alloy fuel tank
