2008 MSRP $24,995 CDN
The new 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 43 mm Ohlins FG511 forks, which sport low friction Titanium Nitride-treated fork sliders, respond effortlessly to every imperfection in the tarmac. Beyond their advanced engineering solutions, one of the most important characteristics of Ohlins 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 Ohlins 46PRC rear shock with a ride enhancing top-out spring, mounted to a single-sided swingarm for outstanding drive and traction. The Ohlins package is completed with a control-enhancing adjustable steering damper.
THE LIGHTEST, MOST POWERFUL L-TWIN SUPERBIKE IN HISTORY
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. The 1098 addresses this important area by mounting Marchesini forged and machined wheels, further reducing weight 4 lbs. 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 and seat fairing cooling ducts.
The 1098 S is also supplied with the Ducati Data Analysis 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, data retrieval USB key and instructions.
DUCATI DATA ANALYZER (DDA)
The DDA package consists of a real analysis system for data gathered during rides or track sessions. The kit, normally used only on race bikes, enables riders to thoroughly analyze the performance of their Ducati and the effectiveness of their driving style.
