Tribute to the twin cylinder engine
With the 1299 Panigale R Final Edition, Ducati celebrates the twin cylinder engine that marked the history of the Superbike World Championship. From Marco Lucchinelli’s first victory with the 851 in 1988 at the first race in the history of the World Superbike Championship, to 2017 with the victories of Chaz Davies and Marco Melandri on the Panigale R, the twin cylinder from Borgo Panigale has always been a top performer of the Superbike Championship.
A collector’s item
The 1299 Panigale R Final Edition is produced in a numbered, unlimited series, and represents the perfect mix between high performance engine and racing chassis. The new livery, red rims and titanium exhaust make the 1299 Panigale R Final Edition a unique, collectible bike.
The most powerful twin cylinder
The Final Edition Superquadro engine is derived from the 1299 Superleggera engine with 209 hp at 11,000 rpm and 14.5 kgm at 9,000 rpm. Thanks to the very high power and dry weight of just 168 kg, the Final Edition achieves a power to weight ratio of 1.24 hp/kg.
Racing electronics
Making the most of competition experience, a number of advanced electronic control systems have been developed that optimise engine response and chassis dynamics in every situation.
When the end tells the whole story
This is the celebration of the twin cylinder Ducati Superbike legacy. We combined the most advanced aluminium monocoque chassis with our most powerful Superquadro engine to create the Panigale 1299 R Final Edition. For passionate riders ready to own the strongest part of Ducati's V-twin history, complete with celebratory livery and numbered billet top yoke.
