The Italian engineers have taken the Streetfighter concept up a notch, in the embodiment of the 2013 MY Ducati Streetfighter S. Improvements such as the Öhlins front and rear suspension, carbon fiber front fender and cam belt covers, as well as technologies derived from the Ducati GP department and superbike projects, such as the Ducati Traction Control and DDA-ready, the Brembo braking system and forget wheels take the already powerful Streetfighter to a whole new level of performance.
At its heart lies a proven, powerful, liquid-cooled, Desmodromic L-Twin 1098 “Testastretta Evoluzione” powerplant that produces an asphalt-wrinkling 155 horsepower and 115 Nm of torque. And, tipping the scale at just 167 kg, it is easy to understand why the Streetfighter S is such a big hit among Ducati fans.
