ducati panigale 959 lcd panel quotation

The bigger 1299 Panigale has a price close to $20k, so there are definitely cost cutting measures taken on the smaller 959. Overall, the base design is the same as we saw when we looked at the 1199 Panigale, but some lower specification parts are used on the 959.

Like all the major players on the world stage, Ducati offers (relatively) street-friendly models in the 959 Panigale and 959 Panigale Corse for 2019. This pair showcases the Italian giant"s performance chops from the brushed-up stressed-skin structure all the way down to the newly-tuned innards of the 955 cc engine to compete against the other top-shelf, racebike-like offerings. Top-shelf electronics finish off the package to give them all the rider aids and safety systems you can reasonably expect at almost any price point, so you have a chance of keeping it dirty-side down while you raise your riding game.

The factory"s racing DNA is on display in the 2019 959 Panigale for consumption by us mere mortals in the general riding public. The “959” siblings borrow from their big brother the Panigale 1299, but with some subtle variations of their own. A newly widened front fairing and bubble screen lead the way with improved aerodynamics meant to maximize penetration and reduce drag along with the refurbished headlight arrangement that nevertheless maintains the aggressive “angry eyes” look typical of the family.

Since it"s a proper streetbike that allows for the option of racing instead of a full-on race machine, the 959 necessarily has to carry mirrors and turn signals, but the factory wisely combined those two features. Not only does that clean up the front end, but it also makes it easier to remove the weight they add for actual track days if you"re into that sort of thing.

The lateral air-intake ports were enlarged to make better use of the ram-air effect at the bike"s entry and get a cheap boost to the engine"s volumetric efficiency. Below the lights, a cowl scoop opens wide to closely engulf the front wheel and increase the all-up-front general look of the Panigale, and of course, it doubles as a shroud that forces cooling air through the radiator and engine compartment. The enclosure continues down to a full chin fairing and belly pan to leave quite a bit to the imagination and leave us with but a glimpse of the innards.

Since this is a bike that"s meant -- more or less -- for everyday use, the tapered tail comes with a pillion pad, and there"s a set of flip-up, billet-aluminum footpegs bolted to the subframe so you can share the fun with a friend. The taillight is recessed in the tip of the tail, but the blinkers and tagholder is mounted to a short mudguard that, like the mirrors and passenger pegs, can be quickly struck from the bike as a unit to pare down for race days. Oh, and it goes without saying that these Panigales are pure sex on wheels from an aesthetic standpoint.

Rather than going with the usual underframe support system, Ducati opted to use a monocoque structure that uses the body panels and engine as stressed units to arrive at its final rigidity. As you"d expect, that shaves quite a bit of weight off the final tally to put the base 959 at 387.2 pounds, and the Corse at 386.9 pounds, dry. Yeah, I know we don"t ride dry bikes, but that"s the metric we have to work with for now.

A die-cast, yoke-style aluminum swingarm finishes out the bones and contributes to the low weight as well with a 4 mm lower pivot point (versus the 899) and a 51/49 split on the weight distribution. The steering head sets a rake angle of 24 degrees with 3.78 inches of trail to make the Panigale downright eager in the corners, and both models come with a steering damper to take the edge off the kickback forces.

At this point, the base model and Corse diverge in their gear. The base 959 rides on 43 mm Showa BPF stems with a Sachs monoshock out back while the Corse rocks Öhlins NIX30 forks and a TTX36 to take care of business. No matter which you choose, you can count on the full spectrum of adjustments.

Dual, 62 mm oval throttle bodies manage the induction with a pair of injectors per cylinder and a Ride-by-Wire throttle control and a host of rider aids that include Traction- and Engine-Brake Control along with a Power Modes function that lets you tailor the power delivery. Power flows through a slipper clutch adding yet another layer of protection for the rear contact patch, and the six-speed transmixxer comes with the Ducati Quick Shift feature that allows for seamless shifts sans clutch actuation.

The base 959 Panigale rolls for $15,495 in Ducati Red or Arctic White Silk. If you want that Corse yummy-goodness, be prepared to shell out $17,895 in the red/white/black Corse livery.

There is certainly no shortage of “Racebike-lite” models on the market right now, but I"m going to focus on one of my faves; the YZF-R1 from Yamaha to go up against the Ducati 959 Panigale. While the Japanese ride doesn"t quite match the sexy curves of the Eye-Tie, it does have charms of its own, and perhaps most importantly, it displays a function-driven form that means business.

The Tuning Fork Company leads off with a ram-air port to match the Ducati in that respect, and the hang-on gear such as the integrated mirror/turn signals and rear mudguard/blinker/tag assembly are made for easy removal ahead of a track day. Like the Duc, the R1 rocks a p-pad and passenger footpegs so you can take a friend on your road adventures, but also like the Panigale, there are much better candidates on the market if you want your passenger to have any kind of comforts.

Yamaha uses a Deltabox frame for support instead of a monocoque system as with the 959, but the suspension comes with the full trifecta of adjustments to break even with the Duc where it counts. Yammy"s choice of power is the 998 cc Crossplane Concept plant that churns out 190 ponies at the shaft, and 73.2 pound-feet of torque against the 150/75 from the Superquadro for a definite advantage. Top speed on the YZF clocks in at 182 mph for another minor victory, but if you"re actually racing on a closed circuit, quickness and handling trump top speed, and skill level represents an important variable that raw power alone will likely never overcome.

Yamaha runs with lean-sensitive traction control, launch control, slide control and a quickshifter, so it"s a match for the Duc across the electronics as well. The stickers are similar as well with the Yamaha YZF-R1 rolling for $16,699 to fall in the middle of the range posed by the Panigale 959 and Corse.

My wife and fellow motorcycle writer, Allyn Hinton, says, “One thing I didn"t like about the 959 Panigale is that it was hot. Even when moving, there was a lot of heating washing up your legs, which would take it off my "potential commuter" list unless you have an unimpeded shot to work with very few stops. Other than that, it"s lightweight and surprising comfortable for a supersport bike.”

Ducati as its all known is famous in the production of great motorcycles of which the Panigale 959 is one of those, but special in its kind. This model has a great view to many motorcyclists. It has sleek headlights which are distinctive. The way the tail unit arcs are over and leaves an air gap is just so wonderful.

Many motorcyclists do not have access to racetracks in India so most sport bike owners have to use the road. This is something which the Ducati family is conscious of and has tried to offer its best to the world, India in particular, with the Panigale 959. This model has proved to be the starlit machine for the racetrack.

This brand is relatively unchanged from its processors since it retains the monocoque chassis from the 899 and the larger Panigale 1299. But a few changes have been made on its body panels to accommodate the wider front fairing which gets new attractive inlet scoops. These scoops are found just below the headlights that have the typical Ducati design which adds to the aggressive look of the machine. The nice and compact windscreen visor is quite effective in deflecting windblast nonetheless. The 959 has a full digital LCD speedometer which appears cluttered with all the information on display. It has a cascading, race-style tachometer with digital readouts for speed, rider modes, electronic aids, engine temperature, real-time and overall fuel consumption, as well as the regular odometer and two trip meters. Making this unit very complicated.

The Panigale twin-cylinder engine, has been heavily revised to meet the Euro-IV emission regulations. The increase in displacement is due to a longer stroke, identical to the 1299 Panigale’s. Also a lot of revisions have been done which has helped meet emissions and also increased peak horsepower to 157hp (from 148hp) and torque to 107.4Nm (from 99Nm). The gearbox which is exactly like 899 has an added tooth on the rear wheel sprocket to make the overall gearing taller.

This beautiful Panigale, although not as spunky as many litre-class bikes with 200hp on tap, it is not so little on performance. it can manage a 0- 100kph time of 4 sec in Sport mode, which is more than what is needed for the street. It offers sufficient grunt to carve through city traffic. With its Ducati Quick Shifter, there really is no debate while going up gears even when exiting corners.

When you are in the saddle of the Ducati Panigale 959, you feel an incredible compact motorcycle which is slim and tightly packaged. Its seat tips you forward towards the slim clip-on handlebars, but the ergonomics aren’t overly aggressive. During highway running, the engine hovers to a temperature of about 95 to 98-degree Celsius mark on speeds of about 100-130kph, which is quite bearable.

With the 959 Panigale, Ducati has built a bike to bring more riders to the superbikes family. This model’s combination of electronic sophistication, manageable power, confidence-inspiring handle and enjoyable agility makes a good motorcycle. On every other count, the 959 is a stellar supersport, having a great performance as well as ability and a whole suit of Ducati electronics to ensure a safely use. In fact, the design offers a savvy balance between all-out track ability and adequate street and highway chops as well.

Superbike Essence: The track as a test bench, the stopwatch as an indisputable judge. For us victories and pole positions mean only one thing: the ability to build increasingly better street bikes. Because in Borgo Panigale competition and mass production are so close that they coexist. Technology, materials, innovative - and sometimes "visionary" - ideas give rise to unique motorcycles. Like the 959 Panigale, which incorporates the DNA and spirit of winning Superbikes to a practical level never seen before.

Perfect balance: Power and lightness. Performance and control. The 959 Panigale achieves the perfect balance of these elements. The power of the 955 cc twin cylinder Superquadro and the exclusive monocoque frame create a unique mix of performance and ease of riding. Lightweight, easy to handle and controllable thanks to the technical equipment like the Brembo monobloc brakes with Bosch ABS, the slipper clutch, the advanced and adjustable suspensions and all the control and management electronics.

Symbiosis of technique and design: Born from a tradition that has seen many Ducati models win the most important design awards, including the prestigious Compasso d"Oro, the Panigale family has always been an example of style. The LED light emits an immediately recognisable light signature, the headlight fairing optimises the aerodynamic protection and airflow to the engine, while the tail guard split in two parts makes the back even more aggressive.

The Superquadro engine: The twin-cylinder Superquadro on the 959 Panigale is an integral part of the chassis as well as being the desmodromic heart of the bike. 157 hp at 10,500 rpm and a torque of 107.4 Nm at 9,000 rpm are numbers worthy of a Superbike, which on the 959 Panigale are managed not only by an advanced chassis but also by a top-of-the-line technical package.

Performance, agility and control: The 955 Panigale uses all the Ducati technology to provide a perfect blend of racing performance and safety and comfort on the road. The standard motorcycle features the Bosch ABS 9MP, the two-channel latest-generation system that provides combined braking with anti lift-up function for the rear wheel so as to guarantee not only a reduced stopping distance, but also greater stability under braking

As a fellow Ducatista, congratulations for owning a Ducati. Now you will get to experience the joys and occasional pain of an Italian L twin ownership.

1. Heat - Every Ducati runs hot. You can add engine ice and exhaust heat guards, but the exhaust design of the Panigale is the culprit. The exhaust loop that sits under the seat and has a cover is going to boil you during summer. It makes a nice heater for the winter though!! You cannot run the 959 in the city in stop and go traffic.

2. Shotgun exhaust - This was to comply with emissions rules in India. The 959 sold in Japan have the same shotgun exhaust. I like the look of the shot gun exhaust but this is individual taste.

3. Desmo service / service costs - Ducatis are slightly more expensive to maintain than the Japanese ones but not that much. First, Desmo service costs 50k INR. My Delhi dealer charges that, and my FNG mechanic, who is ex-Ducati service tech charges around 30-40k INR. 75k is a rip off by the Bangalore dealer. No desmo dervice costs 75k. Normal oil and filter change for Ducatis cost around 10k INR. I do most of the work myself and keep the major ones for my mechanic.

4. Parts availability - contrary to what everyone says, parts are easily available for Ducati. The 899 / 959 / 1199 / 1299 and even the V4 share a lot of similar parts and you can get them easily in India. Most Ducati dealers carry the parts you need.

Please do not use the parts from Ali-express. They are cheap but they are absolute rubbish. I order from www.desmoheart.com if I want the exotic bits. Ducati has a bigger presence in Thailand, and I often find parts online for sale in Thailand. Alternative is to look up on Carousell app and order parts from Singapore. If you have friends / family visiting Singapore or Bangkok (after Covid is gone), ask them to pick for you.

5. Autoblipper - I would not advise you to install the autoblipper. Ducati electronics are finicky. The DQS program, although good, will act up, when you add in after market parts and causes issues with the clutch and gearing. This is a known gremlin for Ducatis. Give your wallet a rest and enjoy the quick shifter.

Again, awesome to see your 959. I was thinking about getting a 959 after I got my 1199, but now I changed my mind and I am shopping for a 1299s or a V4s.

ERGONOMICS: The 959 Panigale was ergonomically designed to provide perfect integration between the rider and the bike. The comfortable anti-slip seat, the reduced profile between the lower limbs in the riding position and an optimised positioning of the handlebars offer the perfect position for controlling the bike with total confidence both on the road and on the track.

ÖHLINS SUSPENSION: This exclusive version of the new 959 Panigale is equipped with premium Öhlins suspensions. The fork is an Öhlins NIX30 with a 43 mm diameter, multi-adjustable with TiN treatment of the legs, while the shock absorber is a multi-adjustable Öhlins TTX36. The suspensions are completed with the steering damper, also by Öhlins and adjustable.

MONOCOQUE TECHNOLOGY: The 959 Panigale chassis represents the continuation of the innovative Monocoque concept: several components have been integrated to obtain a single, compact and lightweight element that enhances the driver"s position by perfecting the driving position. The monocoque structure, made of cast aluminium to increase its properties of resistance, uses the Superquadro engine as a structural element and contributes to making the Ducati Superbikes the lightest in their category. The monocoque frame is secured directly to the engine head and in the front houses two aluminium bushings into which the steering tube bearings are inserted. Apart from fulfilling the classic function of the frame, the monocoque also acts as an air-box. In fact, in addition to the air filter it also houses the throttle bodies and the fuel circuit complete with injectors, which take advantage of the bottom of the steel tank which becomes its cover when mounted in place.

BRAKE SYSTEM: The 959 Panigale is equipped with a powerful yet manageable front braking system featuring new Brembo M4.32 monobloc callipers and comes standard with the new Bosch ABS 9MP anti-lock system. The system ensures the shortest possible braking distances, even on road surfaces that are wet or dirty, with simultaneous control of rear lift to provide maximum braking stability. Specifically calibrated for sports use, the system offers three levels of intervention, each associated with a Riding Mode. In Race mode, the system only works on the front discs to allow the use of the most advanced braking techniques on the track.

The Ducati Panigale V2 is one of the brand’s entries to the super sport bike segment, and this model is designed and engineered with one goal in mind which is to go as fast as possible. For the local market, there’s an ABS Red variant with a sticker price of P1,150,000.

Attractive equipment includes a quick shift feature that allows the rider to shift up under acceleration without using the clutch, keeping the throttle open and thereby saving precious fractions of a second, an LCD instrument panel, and adjustable Ohlins dampers that lend to the excellent riding handling.

Powering the Panigale V2 is a 955cc Testastretta 11 deg L-Twin, air-cooled, Desmodromic Distribution engine that produces 155 hp and 104 Nm of torque. For safety, the bike is fitted with disc brakes, an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), and traction control.
