Ducati Streetfighter S

 Soul of a Superbike - Attitude of a fighter

The Streetfighter's Superbike soul combines fighter attitude and naked sophistication to create a machine of pure adrenaline.

Stripped to the bare essentials, its combination of state-of-the-art race technology, exposed styling and cultured design takes Ducati's big naked concept to the very top of the fighter food chain.

With 155hp of awesome Ducati L-Twin muscle harnessed in a stripped-down, super-light, 167kg (368lb) bike that packs more punch for its weight than any other contender, this fighter is gloves-off and ready for action.

Whether laying down the miles on open roads or ripping up the urban asphalt, no other bike in town will roll with the same stylish fire-power.

Streetfighter - The ultimate naked.

Culture

The Streetfighter culture was born on the backstreets of Northern Europe during the late 70s and 80s. If the Cafe racer movement had taken traditional bikes and transformed them to establish out-and-out sport bikes, then Streetfighters were definitely anti-establishment. They evolved by removing the fairings from sport bikes, fitting higher bars and customizing to create high-performance, over-the-top nakeds. Now Ducati has taken that concept and applied their own Italian sophistication to a stunning, factory-prepared Streetfighter.

The Bike

Streetfighter S
Ducati's 'S' treatment of the Streetfighter takes its sophistication way off the scale. Superbike spec Ohlins suspension front and rear with lightweight forged Marchesini wheels add extra sheet credibility when in town and that all-important 'feel' when exploring the Streetfighter's sports soul.
Add street-going Ducati Traction Control (DTC) and Ducati Data Analysis (DDA) as standard equipment and you'll understand that the Streetfighter S is no just muscle - it's intelligent too.

Engine - Power house
Producing a ballistic 87.5lb-ft (11.7kgm) of torque, the Streetfighter's awesome 1098 power house will have no fear of the sports naked competition. The L-Twin, 4 valves per cylinder, Desmo, Testastretta Evoluzione engine is fuel injected by Marelli and exhausts through massive diameter pipes and into twin mufflers to sound as mean as it looks.

Chassis - Born to fight
The purpose-built Trellis frame, huge fork clamps, and longer swingarm create a chassis geometry special to the Streetfighter. Its revised steering angles and longer wheelbase provide rock-solid handling, even under the extreme acceleration of Ducati's incredible L-Twin torque.

Colors - The colour of adrenaline
The Streetfighter S positively seduces in red and menaces in midnight black with carbon fibre front fender and cambelt covers contrasting superbly against the sophisticated bronze finish of frame and 5 y-shape spoke wheels.

While the tank and seat shapes leave no doubt as to the Streetfighter's roots, it is the upright and commanding riding position that really starts to shape the character of this ultimate naked. New, minimalist controls, instrumentation and headlight design leave the front looking clean and mean, while twin-stacked right-side mufflers at the rear leave the tail-end high and sharp. No other Ducati has ever achieved such an aggressive stance while providing a comfortable, empowering and controllable ride.
