Ducati 899 Panigale is yet to be launched in India. Information on this page is tentative.

Overview

Ducati India will be launching the Panigale range of superbikes with the entry-level Panigale - the 899. Unlike track-oriented characters of the Panigales, the 899 is designed to provide a comfortable and rider-friendly bike which is equally at home on the street as on the race track.

Although the name suggests 899, the new “Desmoquadro” engine displaces 898cc from the L-win pumping an insane 150PS and 99Nm. The engine is a structural element of the frame and comes equipped with desmodromic valves. The 899 Panigale features an electronic full ride-by-wire throttle which allows features life three riding modes – Race, Sport and Wet, to regulate power delivery on the selected riding mode. There’s also an optional DDA or Ducati Data Analyzer.

The 899 Panigale will also come with features such as Ducati Quick Shift and ABS fitted as standard, as well as traction control system. Ducati will offer 24 months unlimited mileage warranty as well as service intervals at 12,000 km and valve clearance checks at 24,000km.

The 899, at heart a Panigale, is no sports tourer, but promises a high degree of comfort and practicality and the speed and handling to keep most riders happy, particularly those looking for the Ducati name and the performance to back the Panigale legacy. Most of all, it offers style and the technology and performance of the flagship Panigales.
