The 2007 1098 S is the most performing roadgoing Ducati in 2007, thanks to extreme weight saving and massive use of racing components that further improve the record-breaking starting project. If you whish to get the best in superbikes, your dream will come true with the 1098 S.

1098 S suspensions reach the highest performance standards. The fully adjustable 43mm FG511 Ohlins front fork surprisingly takes care of any road imperfection for you. High-quality TiN surface coating gives the rider a perfect feeling of what’s going on between the front tire and the road, delivering top riding control.

Front fork is perfectly matched by 46PRC Ohlins shock absorber: this fully adjustable unit, featuring a topout spring and adjustable spring preload takes control of the rear end giving superior traction and steering.
Ohlins package is completed by an adjustable steering damper that delivers extra control and stability.

In additino to the above, the “S” shows unrivalled attention to weight saving.
Any sport or racing bike is designed for maximum unsprung weight saving.
The “S” addresses unsprung weight reduction by forged machined Marchesini lightweight rims for a 1.9kg weight saving that greatly improves handling.

On top of all that the “S” also features DDA datalogging system that allows logging and storing data from your road trips or track sessions, and comes with an installation software CD and an USB flash memory for data storage.

The 2007 1098 S has achieved the status of the highest performance Ducati street bike ever by reducing weight to the max and adding world-class components to an already record-breaking design. If owning the ultimate Superbike is your dream, the ‘S’ is ready to deliver.

Suspension is of the very highest performance standard. The fully adjustable 43mm Öhlins FG511 forks, which sport low friction Titanium Nitride fork sliders, respond effortlessly to every imperfection in the tarmac. Beyond their advanced engineering solutions, one of the most important characteristics of Öhlins forks is their ability to communicate the condition and quality of the tyre-to-road contact patch, a feature that puts every rider in superior control. The suspension system is completed and perfectly balanced by using a fully adjustable Öhlins 46PRC rear shock with a ride enhancing top-out spring, controlling the single-sided swingarm for outstanding drive, traction and steering precision. The Öhlins package is completed with a control-enhancing adjustable steering damper.

The ‘S’ also sets a new standard for lightweight performance. On any sport or race bike, the most effective area to reduce weight is its “unsprung weight”. These are components like tyres, brakes and wheels. Lighter wheels have a lower ‘moment of inertia’ that is beneficial with every direction change and application of the brakes. The 1098 addresses this important area by mounting Marchesini forged and machined wheels, reducing weight by 1.9Kg (4lbs). Both front and rear are super lightweight and their benefit is immediately apparent. The weight saving is further enhanced with the application of a carbon fibre front fender.

The 1098 S is also supplied with the Ducati Data Analyzer system as standard equipment. The DDA package supplied with the ‘S’ version enables the retrieval of data and analysis of data collected from your previous track session or road trip. The DDA package includes software for your personal computer on CD, a data retrieval USB key and instructions.

Features and Benefits:

ENGINEERED BY THE STOPWATCH
The priority in every step of the 1098 development has been performance first. Every system, every detail and every component has been studied and pared down to its essence and performance increased to the maximum. If it didn’t make the 1098 lighter, faster or deliver quicker lap times, it wasn’t considered.

The result: the 1098 is the most powerful twin-cylinder motorcycle in the world with the highest torque-to-weight ratio of any sport bike. The 1098 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.

DESIGNED BY THE RACETRACK
The look and stance of the 1098 were designed by the combination of race track technology, track-derived components and Ducati heritage. The 1098’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.

2007 RANGE MODELS
The Superbike is available in three versions: the awesome 1098; the 1098 S, for those who demand the ultimate in performance with the very best suspension, lightweight wheels and components; and the special 'Tricolore' in green white and red - the colours of the Italian national flag - with "Racing Gold" frame and wheels, plus Termignoni racing muffler kit with dedicated ECU.

1098 HIGHLIGHTS

THE NEW TESTASTRETTA EVOLUZIONE ENGINE

The Testastretta Evoluzione engine is the crowning glory of Ducati’s development and perfection of the L-Twin engine. World Superbike dominance for the last 15 years is the result of continual commitment to twin-cylinder technology and the 1098 Testastretta Evoluzione, the most powerful twin-cylinder production engine in history, is a fitting reward to our engineers’ continued ingenuity.

CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION

The 1098 chassis and suspension have received the same detailed study and performance first priority approach. The goal was to achieve considerable weight saving while building-in strength and rigidity to manage the new high-powered Testastretta Evoluzione engine. Each and every component not only contributes to achieving superior road holding and stability, but when assembled, become a system with value far greater than the sum of all its parts.
