Ducati SUPERLEGGERA V4 CENTENARIO

The Superleggera V4 Centenario introduces a new engine: the Desmosedici Stradale R 1100, developed specifically for this project to create the most sophisticated Superleggera ever made. The displacement increases from 998 to 1,103 cc thanks to the stroke lengthening from 48.41 mm to 53.5 mm.

Superleggera V4 Centenario

Unrestrained technology, introducing three world-firsts never before seen on a production motorbike

The most extreme road-legal bike ever

The Superleggera V4 Centenario is born, in a limited edition of just 500 numbered pieces, based on the seventh generation of Ducati's Superbike, features a fully carbon-fibre chassis, and marks the debut of the first carbon-ceramic braking system and a fork with carbon-fibre stanchions ever fitted to a road-legal motorcycle. It is the first to use a fork with carbon fibre sleeves and is also the first capable of 228 horsepower, which become 247 with the racing exhaust*. The wet weight without fuel is just 173 kg, dropping to 167 kg when fitted with the racing kit supplied as standard. Every fibre of its carbon, every titanium screw, every tiny choice is aimed at the pursuit of perfection. The closest thing to the impossible we have ever dared to create.
