Ducati 1299 MY2017: Euro4 e nuovo scarico

Fotografata nei test. Nuovo scarico ma non del tutto inedito...

Bello scoop!

This revised Ducati Panigale 1299 was spied testing last week with the bike sporting a few technical changes pointing at a possible nip-and-tuck for 2017. This single shot was all our professional spy photographer was able to grab – from a great distance – before the bike disappeared from view.

The test bike pictured can be seen to have different wheels, which are not the same as any current model on offer in the Panigale range. It also has the World Superbike-racing style twin exit Akrapovic titanium exhaust, which is available currently as a ?2500 accessory part.

Another small change is to the fork bottom, which can be seen to have a different-shaped casting to any current model, while it carries the current Brembo monobloc calipers. The casting owes more to that version used on the ultra-exotic Ducati 1199 Superleggera launched in 2014. The rider footrests also appear to be very similar to those fitted to the Superleggera, while there is a revised cut-out in the fairing around the exhaust header aperture.

Also new is the seat unit. Seen here in black – it could be carbon fibre – the shape is familiar, but clearly different to the current bike. The profile is revised, and the amount of taillight visible has increased – while there appears to be an odd string of led lights marking out the edge of the seat unit – although we’re not sure these would meet road laws.

There is a chance this bike may be one of two models the company announced they would release at this weekend’s World Ducati Week (WDW) festival in Italy. What is certain is that this isn’t an all-new bike, so is more likely to be an update, or a ‘limited edition’ special model linked to the firm’s 90th anniversary celebrations.

Last week Ducati confirmed two new models will be shown at WDW but only one will be shown openly in public, with the other hidden from view within a special viewing container, just like the original Scrambler unveil at WDW in 2014. We still have no clear idea what this bike might be, although there are strong rumours that point towards a modern retro sportsbike that could echo the famous 900SS, but using an engine from the current Panigale family. The other rumour is that it could be a large capacity Scrambler, but the private viewing area suggests to us that the secret bike will be a fresh new direction – rather than a version of something Ducati already build.

All will be revealed this weekend when World Ducati Week starts on July 1.

Euro 4 con quello scarico? Naaa.... dai...

Euro 4 con quello scarico? Naaa.... dai...

E ce credo, guarda che catalizzatore, sembra quello di un camion

[mito22]

Per? mi pare piccolo lo stesso.. se consideri cilindrata e i finali 'nulli'....

[Bladerunner72]

I cerchi sono veramente brutti

[McRae (Lo Straniero)]

Non vorrei dire una cavolata, ma mi pare di ricordare che per il mercato jappo gi? c'era una soluzione con lo scarico "aggiuntivo"
Edit: ecco

[MiKiFF]

I tubi finali sono ridicoli come diametro, manco un monster 620.

Come distruggere un'opera d'arte e svalutare le attuali....
Ex Politica jap e qualit? coreana...ormai siamo alla frutta!!!

[akashi1991]

aspetto di vederl dal vivo per valutarli ma dalla foto
poi con quel padellone a vista a fine vasca

cosa sono quei 10 led blu stile audi sul codino?

[Bladerunner72]

Sar? difficile che poi di serie monti Akra, questo sar? lo scarico optional omologato da 10000 euro... visto che quello 'normale' di adesso viene via a 5000

[Luca990]

Credo sia una versione speciale... Forcella FGRT e collettori in titanio mi fanno pensare ad un erede della SL pi? che all'aggiornamento del modello... Vedremo

Se ? questa veramente altro che svalutare rivaluta le attuali.

I cerchi sono veramente brutti

L'avranno cambiato dopo le svariate rotture del cerchio a tre razze in uso pistaiolo?
