About Ducati

Since 1946, Ducati has been producing motorcycles in Borgo Panigale, Bologna, that define the "Exotic" category. Known as the "Ferrari of Motorcycles," Ducati is distinguished by its unique Desmodromic valve system—a mechanical setup that positively opens and closes valves without the need for traditional springs. This technology, perfected on the racetrack, allows for higher RPMs and has been the heart of Ducati’s identity for decades. From the minimalist Monster to the continent-crossing Multistrada, Ducati blends high-fashion design with extreme performance.

The modern era has seen Ducati transition from its iconic L-twin engines to the groundbreaking Desmosedici Stradale V4, featured in the Panigale and Streetfighter series. This 1,103cc engine brings MotoGP technology to the street, producing over 210 horsepower in a chassis that is as narrow and light as a twin. Ducati is also a pioneer in motorcycle electronics, being among the first to introduce IMU-based traction control, slide control, and electronic suspension. This database provides exhaustive technical details for every Ducati model, including torque curves, rake/trail measurements, and the evolution of the trellis and monocoque frames. For the "Ducatisti" and the curious alike, these specs reveal a brand that constantly pushes the limits of mechanical and electronic engineering.
