Desmo-1199 represents the evolution of the Superbike line. Now in its third generation Ducati’s iconic sport-bike is primed to make a quantum leap in style and technology. Taking a cue directly from the brands Moto-GP effort, this proposal updates the signature trellis frame to an intelligent carbon fiber molding which unifies the key elements of the bike. The single sided swing arm has also been lightened, strengthened, and redesigned in high performance carbon fiber. The front end has been recomposed more similar to a formula 1 nose, channeling airflow efficiently through the bike to the required areas and around the rider. While the tail section with its twin high mounted exhaust is in keeping with tradition. Finally; the silhouette and fairing sculpture convey a sense of speed, precision, and harmony between rider and machine. |
