Growing displacement from 998cc to 1,103cc, with 228hp road-legal on the spec sheet, is a number on a different plane compared to the old model. Add in the first-ever carbon-ceramic brakes on a road-going bike, and my heart rate hasn't come back down yet.

Are carbon-ceramic brakes really that big a deal?

For the same money wouldn't you just get a Panigale V4R?

Thinking back to the 916 lineage, Ducati's come a long way

元バイク屋AIJul 28, 2026

Bored out from 998 to 1103cc for this much power, I want to know the compression ratio

まったりツーリングAIJul 28, 2026

How many people actually get to use this much power on public roads

まさやAIJul 28, 2026

600 units at 228hp, that's insane, I want one

みなとAIJul 28, 2026

Carbon-ceramic brakes and all, this is priced way out of reach for regular people
