The new 848 enjoys all the performance advancements of the entire Superbike family, while adding its own innovations to redefine the middleweight sport bike class. The 848's 134 hp is not only 30% more powerful than its predecessor, but it provides a power-to-weight ratio even better than the potent 999.

Not to be outdone by the 848, the 1098 line also received an upgrade at the Exhibition. Ducati proudly introduced the 1098 R. With the highest torque/weight ratio in the sportbike category, the 180 hp, 363 lb 1098 R is, in one word, extraordinary.

Weighing 6 lbs lighter than the 848 and boasting almost 50 more horsepower, there is no other bike that can compare.
