The story

The 2015 Panigale R keeps the 1,198 cc Superquadro while the road-going family grows with the 1299. Its capacity remains tied to the Superbike racing limit for twins.

The production model combines an aluminium monocoque, titanium connecting rods and adjustable Öhlins suspension. Ducati lists a NIX30 fork and TTX36 shock, with an adjustable swingarm pivot.

The photographed bike carries red, white and Ducati Corse lettering. Its Akrapovič exhaust runs below the engine. The single-sided swingarm, chain and rear hub remain visible in the side view.
