BUILT TO WIN
The 1098 R is the ultimate Superbike. The most advanced,
most powerful twin-cylinder motorcycle ever built. It is
the product of a team of designers and engineers
focussed on one objective only—to win.
The 'R' is a race bike, pure and simple. Its competition
specification and superior components together with
advanced electronics and race-proven chassis technology
deliver a level of performance that empowers you with
confidence and capability. On the road, it distinguishes
you as a connoisseur of high-performance motorcycles. On
the track it promotes you to a higher level of riding
and closer to realizing your dreams.
World Superbike rule changes mean that the road-going
'R' version is closer than ever to our factory race
bike. The 1098 R is not a replica—it's the real deal. An
incredible 180hp L-Twin Testastretta Evoluzione engine
in a race-winning Trellis chassis set-up tips the scales
at an unbelievably lightweight 165kg (364lbs) and comes
with a race kit that introduces Ducati Corse's world
championship winning traction control system.
Once again, Ducati raises the bar and sets the world
standard for sport bikes while turning the heads and
racing the hearts of enthusiasts throughout the world.
The 1098 R—Built to win.

Ducati Superbikes, designed, engineered and built in
Borgo Panigale, Bologna, have always represented the

solutions they embrace are proven on the race track,
where the only way to the winner's circle is with

The 1098 R is in form and function the culture and
product of a company dedicated to engineering excellence
and winning performance. Ducati have dominated World
Superbike racing, winning 12 World Championships and
taking the Manufacturers' title 14 times since 1990.
