With its twin headlights, its single-sided swingarm, its soft and aggressive lines, this bike rocks on an esthetic level. |
Mounting the rear shock in a different position can lead to severe damages at the frame, the swingarm and the rear shock. |
The system, called Ducati Electronic Suspension, incorporates an inverted 48 millimeter Ohlins fork in the front and an Ohlins monoshock and single-sided aluminum swingarm at the rear. |

The bike's aluminum twin-spar frame and swingarm are lightweight, compact and rigid to keep the weight down and the power up. |
A chain-drive, not a shaft, transfers power to the rear wheel, which is suspended on a triangulated swingarm. |
