2017 Ducati 1299 Panigale S Anniversario

Since its founding in 1926, Ducati has been characterized by one thing above all else: Authentic Italian Performance. To celebrate the 90 years in which the company has grown to be the world's premier manufacturer of sport motorcycles, the new 1299 Panigale S Anniversario sets a new performance benchmark, with the style and sophistication that sets Ducatis apart.

The Superquadro engine is ingeniously incorporated into the Monoscocca chassis, providing the perfect platform from which to deliver its incredible 205 horsepower. The underside of the fuel tank, when mounted, seals the top of the frame which then becomes the airbox. Innovative engineering solutions such as these are used throughout the Panigale line, making them the lightest machines in the Superbike class. The total focus on light weight also gives each Panigale a power-to-weight ratio that sets the reference in its class. Combined with advanced electronic controls and the finest brakes, suspension, and other components, this creates an incredibly potent package that takes riders to the very apex of performance. Precision riding, at the highest level, with the character and exhilaration that only a Ducati Superbike can provide.

Complementing and enhancing the Panigale's award-winning design, the 1299 Panigale S Anniversario features special graphics to commemorate 90 years of Ducati passion and performance. Dynamic and distinctly racing-inspired, the stunning graphics include also special gold-coloured Marchesini forged aluminum wheels.

The beauty of speed translated into design. Pure racing spirit is channeled to the rider with a grasp of the 1299 Panigale S Anniversario's handlebars. Large, aggressive air intakes feed its Superquadro engine and signal no holds-barred competition. It uses a full LED headlight for the ultimate statement of technical cool. In the rear it features a full LED taillight which accents its split tail, while a perfectly integrated under-belly exhaust keeps the lines clean and pure. An award-winning integration of engineering and design, the 1299 Panigale S Anniversario gets the adrenaline flowing from the first glance Power, agility, and sophistication, wrapped in the very best Italian style.
