With a 1198 cc, L-twin engine producing 170hp (125 kW) and with a dry weight of just 169 kgs (372 lbs), the 2009 Ducati 1198 S incorporates more World Superbike technology than ever before by taking the 1198 motor and adding top-of-the-range suspension, lightweight chassis components and a true racing-style traction control system designed for road use.
Based on the unit found in the Ducati 1098, the Ducati 1198's engine achieves its new, larger capacity by using exactly the same 106x67.9 bore and stroke as the factory race bike. Volumetric efficiency through the four valves per cylinder has been enhanced by increasing the valve diameters approximately 4% to 43.5mm for the inlet and 35.5mm for the exhaust. They are actuated by racing-type rocker arms, 'super-finished' for reduced friction and fatigue, and double overhead camshafts with radical profiles that achieve approximately 10% more lift than their predecessors.

The Ducati 1198 S features high performance, fully adjustable 43mm Цhlins forks, which sport low friction titanium nitride-treated fork sliders. The rear suspension is handled by a fully adjustable Цhlins rear mono shock equipped with a ride enhancing top-out spring and mounted to a single-sided swingarm. The front and rear Цhlins suspension package is complimented with a control-enhancing adjustable steering damper.
The Ducati 1198 S is equipped with the Ducati Data Analysis (DDA) and Ducati Traction Control (DTC) systems as standard equipment. The DDA package enables the retrieval and analysis of data collected from previous track sessions or road trips. The DTC system monitors front and rear wheel speeds to detect rear wheel-spin under acceleration and electronically reduces engine power to restore traction. If you don't think you need all this software then there is always the Ducati 1198 to consider.

It seems the 1198/1198S are getting rave reviews, I think Ducati has another gem on their hand with this one. The new 1198S comes with the Ducati Traction Control (DTC) which is featured on the more expensive 1098R.Already the flagship of the Ducati V-twin range, the new 1198R Corse Special Edition is 1kg (2.2lb) lighter thanks to the new factory team-style fuel tank, which also increases fuel capacity by 2.5 litres (0.66 US gal) to 18 litres (4.75 US gal). Formed in 2mm thick aluminium, the tank is brush finished, clear-coated and topped off with the new Ducati Corse logo to maintain a factory race tank feel. The 1198 R Corse comes in the red, white and black Corse Special Edition livery bodywork with the new aluminium fuel tank clear-coated for all to see. And isn’t it pretty!!
