\nWe already showed you the base Panigale <\/a>a couple of months back but in terms of craziness, the Panigale R is another step in the WSBK direction. It is fitted with the 1198 cc Superquadro engine, it boasts titanium intake and exhaust valves and rods, two-ring pistons and an extremely lightweight crankshaft which is balanced with tungsten inserts, to guarantee a maximum power of 205 hp at 11,500 revs\/minute and a torque of 136.2 Nm at 10,250 rpm. The Panigale R is also fitted with a racing clutch that ensure maximum performance even after long distances.<\/p>\n

The Panigale R is features \u00d6hlins mechanical suspension and it has a steering angle of 24\u00b0 and a swingarm pivot that can be adjusted among 4 positions. In addition it has dedicated steering offset geometry which advances the front axle by 5 mm compared to the 1299 Panigale and the 1299 Panigale S (with relative increment of the wheelbase distance from 1,437 mm to 1,442 mm), in order to further increase stability particularly in conditions of extreme track riding or racing.<\/p>\n

\"The

The Panigale R is fast and beautiful<\/p><\/div>\n

The bike has a number of parts made in carbon fibre and, thanks in part to the use of the approved Akrapovic titanium silencer and the extremely lightweight lithium ion battery, the Panigale R weighs 6 kg less than the 1199 Panigale R.<\/p>\n

And what about the electronics? The Panigale R has IMU, cornering ABS, Ducati\u2019s GPS-using data acquisition system, Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC), Ducati Traction Control (DTC), and Engine Brake Control (EBC). The bike offers three riding modes: Race, Sport and Wet. In the latter one, the engine only delivers 120 hp.<\/p>\n

\"The

The Panigale R is a very tech-savvy package<\/p><\/div>\n

The TFT display adjusts automatically to the selected Riding Mode and the colour can be also configured. Good news is that the DDA system is USB compatible so the rider can export the recorded data and analyse it at home. All in all, the Panigale R is a mind-blowing package.<\/p>\n
