#Ducati #Superleggera #V4 || #PRODUCTION ||#2021

The 2020 Superlegga V4 is the latest "super light" superbike. Production will be limited to 500 units. ... The Superleggera's engine is a de-stroked version of the 1,103 cc motor that powers the Panigale V4s. Its bore and stroke dimensions of 81.0 mm x 48.4 mm are the same as Ducati's MotoGP racer

Here in California, the sales tax alone on Ducati’s $100,000 Superleggera V4 is more than I’ve ever spent on a motorcycle.

And the price tag is just one of several otherworldly figures swirling around this street-legal, ultra-exotic, V4 R-based superbike. The other stunners are the 350-pound weight and 234 horsepower. Both claimed, and both in need of interpretation.

Those 234 ponies are unleashed with the included Race Kit (that’s a complete titanium Akrapovic race exhaust and ECU reflash) and measured at the crankshaft, which isn’t useful unless you’re slotting this 998 cc Desmosedici Stradale R engine into a piece of direct-drive industrial equipment. In a motorcycle, power has to travel through the transmission (and a jack shaft in the V4, since the crank rotates “backwards”), plus the final drive. Rule of thumb is roughly 10 percent drivetrain losses, but even after you knock off 24 horsepower, the Superleggera is making well over 200 at the rear wheel at 15,250 rpm

This latest Superleggera is based on the V4 R, the 998 cc homologation special introduced in 2019. Ducati then unfurled reams of carbon fiber and chucked up loads of aluminum and titanium to slash 35 pounds off the V4 R. That’s no small feat, given that the V4 R had already gone on a diet that made it 15 pounds lighter than the standard, 1,103 cc Panigale V4.

The SL has carbon fiber, well, everything. The front frame, subframe, and swingarm are all formed from carbon fiber, and when you hold the components in your hands it’s hard to believe that something so light and delicate is strong enough to harness the engine’s power. The chassis, such as it is, accounts for a seven-pound savings over the aluminum parts on the V4 R
