Adding to the excitement of the grand opening was the reveal of the award-winning Ducati 1199 Panigale. Marking a new chapter of Ducati’s iconic Superbike history, the 1199 Panigale combines an incredibly high-tech and powerful 1,198cc twin-cylinder engine mated to a 6-speed gearbox with wet clutch to an innovative monocoque chassis concept to deliver an astounding 195bhp at 10,750rpm and 132Nm of Toque at 9,000rpm; from just 164kg of Italian purebred. Emissions are rated at Euro 3, but get this, its fuel injection has been provided by a Mitsubishi electronic fuel injection system.
At just the click of the button, Ducati’s Riding Mode delivers performance with enhanced rider confidence by combining seven class-leading technologies. The latest generation sports ABS system, Ducati Traction Control (DTC), Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES), Ducati Quick-Shift (DQS), Ducati’s new race-derived Engine Brake Control (EBC) and Ride-by-Wire (RbW) are now all programmed into seamless, electronic rider assistance. Even the full colour Thin Film Transistor (TFT) display changes to suit the rider’s environment.
With the latest addition to the Ducati Superbike family, Ducati’s focus on sportbikes is stronger than ever. Bred for the track and trained for the road, the 1199 Panigale is a true revolution of the species. “Moving into the 2nd quarter, we are greatly encouraged by Ducati’s successful 1st quarter sales of more than 300 units, of which 70% was contributed by sales of the monster 795”, stated Datuk Wira SM Faisal.
The 1199 Panigale which earned the title of ‘Most Beautiful Bike of Show’ at the EICMA 69th International Motorcycle Show in Milan, is priced within RM160,888 to RM209,999. With limited units available due to global demand and the booking list at Next Bike Sdn Bhd already exceeding 20 units, it’s clear that this model is a sure-fire winner.
