Motorcycle Marketing’s Post

Ducati and Triumph unexpectedly took on the challenge of building a Motocross bike each, despite having no prior know-how, yet both managed to produce remarkably solid bikes capable of winning or competing at the top of their categories. Triumph made its debut in the World Championship, hovering around the podium with impressive speed and consistency in the MX2 class, where high-revving engines are crucial. Meanwhile, Ducati made its first appearance in the Italian championship, winning its inaugural race. Although the competition level wasn't the highest, considering the bike was born just six months prior, it's quite remarkable. Nowadays, motorcycle manufacturers are capable of achieving miracles, even though we're talking about industry giants. This is truly fascinating. Looking back, there are numerous examples of bikes that were unfortunate and ended up without any glory. In 1978, HD attempted to enter the off-road market with the 250cc MX250 Harley-Davidson, but the bike faltered........ continue to read it on my blog clicking on the link/picture below ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/ePbbtsD2 Ducati Motor Holding , Triumph Motorcycles Limited #ducati #triumph #ICE #mxgp #mx2

It was a great pleasure to open another Ducati racing season in Madonna di Campiglio, a location that perfectly expresses the values of 'Made in Italy' of which we are proud ambassadors. The path that has led us to be the best in the world in racing is undoubtedly made up of the hard daily work of these years, but also of our ability to work as a team and have fun while putting our maximum effort into what we do. One of the strong elements of our brand is the ability to create a system and we demonstrate this by jointly presenting the official teams for the 2024 racing season, the Ducati Lenovo Team, the Aruba.it – Racing Ducati Team, and unveiling of the new Desmo450 MX, the motorcycle that opens a new historical chapter for us in the motocross world. Seeing all the bikes together was a great emotion for me because, although different from each other, they are part of a single project. This belonging is underlined by the basic colour of the liveries, Ducati Red, the same for all, and also by a completely new graphic sign that recalls the curve present in the Ducati logo, inspired by the most exciting part of riding a motorbike: the bend. At the same time, these bikes are also an expression of the path that Ducati has taken in recent years, investing in its future. The entry into motocross is in fact the demonstration of the company's solidity and determination to continue investing in expanding the range offered to our enthusiasts. In these two days we had the opportunity to give ourselves the right energy for a year that promises to be full of challenges. After two extraordinary seasons like those of 2022 and 2023, confirming ourselves will be a hard job because the competitors are extremely determined, but certainly everything is ready to face a new season with the utmost determination! #DucatiCorse #MotoGP #WSBK #Motocross #CampioniinPista Ducati Motor Holding Aruba S.p.A.

It is almost time to present the 2024 Ducati official racing teams, but I still want to dedicate a well-deserved appreciation moment to the 2023 Panigale World Championship Replica! These amazing objects celebrate the racing successes of last season and will be produced in a limited and numbered series. The more I look at them, the more I'm reminded of the emotions I've felt race after race following each competition, from home or in the box. Each is an authentic collector’s item dedicated to our most passionate clients. They are full of exclusive details: model name, progressive number and rider number are laser-engraved on the aluminium steering plate of the bikes, while on the saddle is sewed the personal logo of each champion. But the most important feature is that each one of them will be different, like real art pieces, because of the one-to-one handmade signature done by our champions. The quantities in which the bikes will be produced are different for each of them because they celebrate the racing numbers of the riders to whom they are dedicated. This means that Pecco and Álvaro will face the 'signature marathon' on 263 and 219 units respectively, Jorge on 189, Nicolò on 111 and Bez on 72. All technical solutions and components of the motorcycles have been chosen to recreate the excitement of racing on the track, aiming at transforming each Replica into the closest thing ever to the original racing bikes that a passionate Ducatista could collect.

Ducati Supermono https://lnkd.in/eCCq7GgT Ducati lay claim to some of motorcycling’s most desirable and exclusive models. Yet one sits above all else in terms of scarcity, mystique, and value: the 1993 Supermono. Small, stunning and saturated with exotic materials, the 549cc production racer was designed to showcase Ducati’s technical prowess in single-cylinder racing, and show how far modern materials and methods could evolve the most basic of four-stroke configurations. An instant winner, the Supermono took victory in its first year of competition, clinching the 1993 European Supermono championship in the hands of Italian Mauro Lucchiari. In 1995 it won at the Isle of Man TT, Kiwi Robert Holden giving Ducati their eighth and, to date, last TT victory. It was to be more than just a race bike, too, as a road-going version was also promised. Ducati’s Chief Engineer Massimo Bordi got the concept underway in 1990, creating a 487cc single from the 90-degree V-twin of the firm’s World Superbike-winning 888, complete with desmo valve train and electronic fuel injection. Bordi’s prototype kept both cylinders but used only the vertical bore to provide power; the horizontal was run without a head so that its piston acted as a balancer to cancel out the vibes that typically plagued singles. Although it proved as smooth as a V-twin, the extra drag of the dummy piston resulted in power losses which forced the engineer back to the drawing board. His solution was to amputate the dummy piston and simply make use of a double conrod set-up. Known as ‘doppia bielletta’, it worked by adding a lever joined at right angles to the small end of the balance conrod, with the other end of the lever fixed to the crankcase. It not only kept the things smooth, it also negated the previous design’s frictional losses, while resulting in a more compact engine. The added upshot for the rider was that, as it was essentially a ‘crossplane’ single, it provided glorious traction. Further refinement saw the bore increase to 100mm, whilst stroke was increased by a further 2mm to 70mm to create 549cc and a peak power of 75bhp at 10,500rpm. Development of the Supermono was then placed in the hands of a young project lead named Claudio Domenicali. Now the firm’s CEO, in the early 90s Domenicali was fresh out of university and in his first major role with Ducati (...).

#snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking The Ducati Panigale V4 is a sport bike with a 1,103 cc (67.3 cu in) desmodromic 90° V4 engine introduced by Ducati in 2018 as the successor to the V-twin engined 1299. A smaller engine displacement version complies with the Superbike category competition regulations which state "Over 750 cc up to 1000 cc" for three and four cylinder 4-stroke engines. The initial development of the Panigale V4 started with the 2015 MotoGP racing engine. Ducati said the Panigale V4 was designed to combine racing features, while also being an entertaining and rideable motorcycle with a durable engine. This created the challenge of designing an engine that could keep the MotoGP engine's counter-rotating crankshaft, and large bore diameter, but have the 24,000 km (15,000 mi) service intervals expected on consumer motorcycles. Originally, Ducati was initially keeping the MotoGP bike's chassis, but later changed to a completely new front frame they said has less weight and more stability.
