Grimsthorpe Castle, 21 July
Morgan and Malle London are continuing their successful collaboration with the introduction of a co-designed Super 3 Malle Rally Special, delivered to customers complete with the full Driver’s Collection of Morgan x Malle apparel and accessories, and entry into one of the future Malle rally events, throughout Great Britain, across the Alps or up into the Arctic.

Launched today at The Malle Mile Festival in Lincolnshire, the Super 3 Malle Rally Special celebrates the adventurous spirit of Super 3 and embodies Malle London’s ‘Prepared To Get Lost’ philosophy. The introduction of the new special follows a year of adventure and exploration between the two companies, in which a specially commissioned Super 3 Malle Rally Support Vehicle has embarked on adventures around the UK and Europe.

The Great Malle Rallies
Ownership of the Super 3 Malle Rally Special includes an invitation to a future Malle Rally, where owners will be able to take part in an unforgettable week-long adventure in their own car. Those rallies include The Great Malle Rally in the UK, The Great Malle Mountain Rally in Europe and the forthcoming Great Malle Arctic Rally. The UK rally is the longest motorcycle rally in the UK, carving a 1,500 mile route from the most Southern tip to the most Northern tip. The European adventure is the longest motorcycle rally ever attempted across the entire Alps mountain range, carving a 1,500 mile route which takes in six countries in six days, from Austria to Monaco, taking in some of the highest drivable roads in Europe. 

The Vehicle
The Super 3 Malle Rally Special is available in a choice of three colours, yellow – which features prominently in the announcement photography and video –, red, and black, each of which reflect Malle’s brand colours. The distinctive design is characterised by the specially commissioned livery which adorns the vehicle and is only available as part of the unique specification. Co-designed by the two British companies, the livery incorporates a topographic map design that celebrates Malle’s favourite British mountain road, as well as a choice of numbered roundel, Union Flag branding and the ‘Prepared To Get Lost’ tagline on the rear boot lid. The exhaust, nose cone and roll hoops are all finished in white.

The special model features an extensive list of options and accessories as part of its standard specification. These have been curated to help distinguish the edition visually, as well as equipping owners for adventure. Highlight accessories include USB charging points, lockable storage, Beeline navigation system, interior bungee cords, rear luggage rack, LED headlights (for EU version only), heated seats, footwell lighting and cupholder.

The features on the Super 3 Malle Rally Special have been tried and tested during thousands of miles of driving by the Morgan and Malle teams, including a 4,000-mile intense road trip in just 12 days. Two Driver’s Collection sets, which include Malle x Morgan jackets, knee guards, step guards and panniers, are also equipped with the vehicle.

Morgan x Malle Driver’s Collection
The Morgan x Malle Driver’s Collection features a mix of apparel and vehicle accessories, each of which has been co-designed between Morgan and Malle London. Waterproof and windproof, the Malle x Morgan Jacket is handcrafted using a hardwearing 10oz British waxed canvas. It features a storm baffle around the neck, GPS headphone port, multiple pockets sized appropriately for keys and documents, a poacher’s pouch, storm flap opening and quilted interior for added insulation. Designed to be used with the jacket is the Morgan x Malle Knee Guard, a must have for Super 3 use in inclement weather. The snap points at the waist of the jacket double up to receive the knee guard, which is also handcrafted in hardwearing 10oz British waxed canvas. Both the jacket and knee guard are available in black or sand and complete the wearable element of the Morgan x Malle Driver’s Collection.The Driver’s Collection also features accessories that have been designed alongside the development of Super 3. Weatherproof waxed canvas panniers attach to Super 3’s sideblades, carrying luggage with assorted compartments to separate wet and dry clothing. Step guards, which are situated for pilot and co-pilot, ensure the seat remains protected during ingress and egress.

Availability
The Super 3 Malle Rally Special is priced at £54,995 (plus taxes and OTR). The price includes the full specification, all Malle x Morgan Driver’s Collection items for pilot and co-pilot, entrance to a choice of Malle Rally, and VIP entry to the Malle Mile and Malle Beach Race. Moreover, owners will be welcomed to Morgan’s historic home at Pickersleigh Road in Malvern Link, to join the individuals who handcraft each Morgan sports car, using rare skills passed down through generations.

Available to purchase from today, the special represents the first Morgan in the company’s 114-year history that can be reserved online. Interested customers are encouraged to visit Morgan’s website or contact a Morgan dealership to discover more.

Jonathan Wells, Chief Design Officer, Morgan Motor Company, commented: “From the outset of Super 3’s design process we had envisioned the vehicle embarking on incredible adventures all over the world. Through our collaboration with Malle London, we have been able to realise this vision and help equip owners to have their own adventures.

Throughout the last year, Malle has been able to prove the adventure credentials of Super 3, taking its Support Vehicle on numerous rallies and adventures in the UK and Europe. Following the success of those adventures, and the willingness to encourage more individuals to enjoy such journeys, the natural next step for our two companies was to collaborate on a dedicated Super 3 rally series.

This is the first special Super 3 that has been available to customers since the launch of the production model in February 2022. Complete with every accessory an owner could need, and with functional and striking design at its core, we have created the ideal special series.”  

Robert Nightingale, Founder of Malle London, commented: “In 2022 we had the envious role of taking one of the first Super 3 prototypes out for a spin, and in true Malle fashion we drove it 3,000 miles over nine days on The Great Malle Rally, supporting 100 custom and classic motorcycles.

“The reception to Super 3 is always incredible, met with smiles and waves! It’s not like driving a car, or a motorcycle. In the Super 3 our photography team were able to get closer to the rally riders than ever before, capturing amazing shots from an entirely new perspective. Super 3 continued to feature in all Malle events throughout the summer, then in late 2022 we collaborated with Morgan’s design team to build a custom ‘fit for purpose’ Support Vehicle for The Great Malle Mountain Rally, the longest motorcycle Alpine rally ever attempted.

“From Austria to Monaco, we travelled through six countries in six days, across all the highest mountain passes, up to 2,800m multiple times and back again! The Super 3 Support Vehicle covered 4,000 miles in 12 days. Including 728 miles in 24 hours, driven by myself.

“The Super 3 Malle Rally Special is born out of these wild adventures, inspired by our own experiences and the desire to make them available to more adventurers around the world. It is more than just a car or transportation it’s a real ‘money can’t buy’ experience. We can’t wait to welcome drivers of the Malle Rally Specials to future Malle rallies and as a VIP guest to future Malle races.”

  • Espectacular moto custom R 18 del customizador Dirk Oehlerking para conmemorar los 100 años de BMW Motorrad.

Cuando Dirk Oehlerking decide personalizar la BMW R 18 Kingston Custom, el resultado está garantizado. El conocido personalizador ha causado recientemente un gran revuelo con la R 18 Spirit of Passion, una impresionante creación de estilo aerodinámico.

La R 18 “The Crown” va un gran paso más allá. “Es la esencia de mis creaciones hasta la fecha”, afirma Oehlerking, cuya pasión y creatividad siempre han sido las motocicletas individuales e inusuales. Esto es exactamente lo que lleva haciendo con total dedicación en la región del Ruhr desde hace 30 años. Le encanta la cultura industrial y la proximidad a la industria y a la artesanía, tiene una gran red de contactos y unos impresionantes escenarios fotográficos para sus motos y para él mismo.

Carrocería de diseño propio fabricada en chapa de aluminio y suspensión de la rueda delantera con basculante de doble brazo con puntal central de suspensión.

Para conmemorar los 100 años de BMW Motorrad, ha creado la R 18 The Crown, una gran moto bóxer que lo tiene todo. “Empecé con una BMW R18 nueva que luego desmonté. Como siempre, trabajé con espuma dura y cartón para crear la forma, las líneas y el diseño. El objetivo era que tuviera un aspecto potente, elegante y rápido, combinado con una estética innovadora”, así describe Oehlerking su planteamiento de diseño.

El diseño obligó a adaptar considerablemente la tecnología. Hubo que construir una suspensión de rueda delantera completamente nueva en forma de brazo oscilante de doble cara con puntal de suspensión central.

El depósito de combustible de 8 litros y las piezas de la carrocería se fabricaron con chapa de aluminio de 2 mm de grosor, que se cortó, dobló y mecanizó a mano.

Numerosos componentes de serie, como el faro, la instrumentación, las unidades de cambio  y el sistema de reposapiés, se han integrado perfectamente en el espectacular concepto de la R 18 “The Crown”. Los accesorios del embrague y el freno de mano son de Magura, el guardabarros trasero y los soportes de Wunderkind y el sillín de chapa de aluminio de 2 mm de grosor y revestido de cuero auténtico son complementos que quedan verdaderamente armoniosos.

Como guinda del pastel, Oehlerking dio a la R 18 “The Crown” un acabado de pintura Champagne Platinum con nácar, complementado con el logo de BMW adornado con una pequeña corona.

Los vehículos mostrados pueden estar modificados y equipados con accesorios de terceros y/o piezas patentadas que no han sido fabricadas, distribuidas o probadas por BMW. BMW no se hace responsable de las modificaciones (incluyendo el montaje, características y uso de los accesorios mostrados). NOTA: ¡La modificación de vehículos de serie (incluyendo el montaje y uso de piezas de terceros y de fabricación propia) puede perjudicar las características de conducción! La conducción de nuestros vehículos modificados es bajo su propia responsabilidad.

La nueva R 18 Roctane se une a la R 18, R 18 Classic, R 18 B y R 18 Transcontinental como quinto miembro de la familia R 18. Una vez más, se remonta a la historia y la tradición de BMW Motorrad y combina la tecnología de motocicletas de última generación con el diseño y el encanto de tiempos pasados.

 Tanto técnica como visualmente, la BMW R 18 toma prestado de famosos modelos de BMW como la BMW R 5 y vuelve a centrarse en lo esencial del motociclismo: Tecnología


purista sin florituras y el motor bóxer como epicentro del placer de conducir. El diseño clásico y la tecnología clara pero contemporánea se fusionan para formar un concepto global fascinante. Esta combinación proporciona una experiencia de conducción emocional única y el modelo se caracteriza por un lenguaje de diseño hábilmente escalonado con una sección trasera en el llamado “diseño streamlining”.

El motor bóxer BMW más potente de todos los tiempos ofrece un par motor contundente en acabado negro metalizado mate y cuenta con cubiertas negras de alto brillo, así como sistema de escape y contratuercas de estrella en cromado oscuro.

El corazón de la nueva BMW R 18 Roctane es el conocido motor bicilíndrico plano de 2 cilindros, el “gran bóxer”. No sólo por su impresionante aspecto, sino también por sus especificaciones técnicas, el motor de la nueva R 18 Roctane, acabado en negro Avus metálico mate y con tapas negras de alto brillo, recuerda a los tradicionales motores bóxer refrigerados por aire que han proporcionado una estimulante experiencia de conducción durante más de siete décadas, desde que BMW Motorrad comenzó a fabricar motocicletas en 1923. El motor bóxer de 2 cilindros más potente jamás fabricado en serie cuenta con una cilindrada de 1.802 cc. Genera una potencia de 67 kW (91 CV) a 4.750 rpm. En la gama de 2.000 a 4.000 rpm, ofrece más de 150 Nm de par en todo momento, así como una fuerza de tracción elemental y un sonido sonoro. El motor negro combina a la perfección con el sistema de escape cromado oscuro y las contratuercas de estrella.


Bastidor tubular de doble bucle de acero y basculante trasero con transmisión de eje cerrado en diseño de bastidor rígido.

Un bastidor tubular de acero de doble bucle es el corazón del chasis de la nueva R 18 Roctane. Su diseño perpetúa la larga tradición de BMW Motorrad en este tipo de bastidor. La calidad de fabricación especialmente alta y la atención al detalle también son evidentes en lugares apenas perceptibles, como las uniones soldadas entre los tubos de acero y las piezas fundidas o forjadas. Igual que en la legendaria BMW R 5, el basculante trasero, fabricado con un diseño similar, encierra la transmisión del eje trasero con el mismo estilo mediante uniones atornilladas.

Horquillas telescópicas con tubos, puntal de suspensión en voladizo y llantas de aleación de 21 pulgadas delante y 18 pulgadas detrás, así como frenos de disco.

Los elementos de suspensión de la nueva BMW R 18 Roctane no presentan opciones de ajuste electrónico deliberadamente. En su lugar, las horquillas telescópicas y un amortiguador central conectado directamente con amortiguación dependiente del recorrido y precarga de muelle ajustable garantizan un control superior de la rueda y un confort de suspensión sensible. De la misma forma que en la legendaria BMW R 5, los tubos fijos de las horquillas telescópicas están encapsulados en manguitos. El diámetro del tubo fijo de la horquilla es de 49 mm, el recorrido de la suspensión es de 120 mm delante y 90 mm detrás. La nueva BMW R 18 Roctane se desacelera mediante un freno de doble disco delante y un freno de un solo disco detrás en combinación con pinzas fijas de cuatro pistones. Las llantas de aleación confieren a la moto un aspecto elegante, con llantas de 3,5 x 21″ delante con neumáticos 120/70 B 21 y de 5,5 x 18″ detrás con neumáticos 180/55 B 18.

Ergonomía equilibrada con asiento a dos niveles, estriberas, leva de cambio y manillar alto.

La nueva BMW R 18 Roctane se caracteriza por la posición desenfadada de los estribos, denominada “estribera central”, totalmente acorde con la filosofía de BMW Motorrad. Esta posición clásica detrás de los cilindros no sólo es típica de BMW, sino que también permite una posición de conducción relajada y activa para controlar de forma óptima la motocicleta. La R 18 Roctane dispone de un asiento de dos niveles que se estrecha hacia atrás, con correas para el pasajero, y está equipada con estribos junto con una leva de cambio. El manillar alto y revestido de negro garantiza una posición de conducción erguida y relajada.

Maletas a juego con el color de la moto y parabrisas como Accesorios Originales BMW Motorrad. Tres atractivos acabados de pintura.

La nueva R 18 Roctane está perfectamente equipada para pasear y viajar sin prisas gracias a las maletas pintadas en el color de la moto. Las maletas ofrecen 27 litros de espacio para equipaje cada una. Para viajes más largos, la nueva R 18 Roctane puede equiparse con un parabrisas con faros auxiliares e intermitentes suspendidos de la gama de Accesorios Originales BMW Motorrad.

La nueva R 18 Roctane incorpora pintura negra de serie. Los acabados de pintura gris mineral metalizado mate y Manhattan metalizado mate están disponibles como equipamiento opcional.

Los tres modos de conducción, así como el ASC y el control de arrastre, forman parte del equipamiento de serie y garantizan diversión y seguridad de conducción de alto nivel.  La ayuda a la marcha atrás, el control de arranque en pendiente y los puños calefactables están disponibles como equipamiento opcional de fábrica.

Con el fin de satisfacer las necesidades individuales de los clientes, la nueva R 18 Roctane también incorpora de serie los tres modos de conducción “Rain”, “Roll” y “Rock”, algo inusual en este segmento. El equipamiento de serie también incluye el ASC (Control Automático de Estabilidad), que garantiza un alto nivel de seguridad en la conducción. Además, la nueva R 18 Roctane está equipada de serie con control del par de arrastre del motor. Además de otras opciones, una ayuda a la marcha atrás hace que las maniobras sean cómodas y la función de Control de Arranque en Pendiente facilita el arranque cuesta arriba. Los puños calefactables, también disponibles como equipamiento opcional de fábrica, mantienen las manos calientes en los días fríos.

La nueva R 18 Roctane: La “gran boxer” con bastidor rígido, tecnología moderna y materiales auténticos de estilo custom bagger. Faro delantero redondo integrado de diseño clásico.

La R 18 Roctane reinterpreta hábilmente el estilo icónico de épocas pasadas en estilo custom bagger y muchos detalles reflejan el diseño purista que se forjó principalmente con clásicas como la BMW R 5. Los elementos funcionales y que definen el estilo, como el bastidor tubular de doble bucle, el depósito de combustible en forma de gota, la transmisión por cardán de hélice abierta o la doble línea pintura (equipamiento opcional de fábrica), recuerdan a la legendaria bóxer de 1936. Las partes clásicas de la carrocería de la R 18 Roctane, como el depósito de combustible, las cubiertas de las ruedas delantera y trasera o la carcasa de los faros también son de metal, como corresponde a una auténtica clásica. La suspensión también recuerda acertadamente a la legendaria R 5. Junto con el basculante de doble brazo y un puntal de suspensión en voladizo, el diseño rígido del bastidor de la R 5 se ha trasladado perfectamente a los tiempos modernos.

Dondequiera que se mire, la tecnología diseñada con esmero se puede ver en cada detalle. Esto también se aplica al faro delantero redondo integrado de diseño clásico. La legendaria BMW R 5 de 1936 y, a partir de entonces, casi todas las motocicletas BMW hasta principios de la década de 1970 presentaban esta característica combinación. La nueva BMW R 18 Roctane revive ahora esta tradición, con la tecnología más moderna pero con un diseño contemporáneo. La inscripción “BERLIN BUILT” en la esfera hace referencia al origen de la moto. La nueva R 18 Roctane también se fabrica en la planta de BMW Motorrad en Berlín-Spandau.


Una arquitectura que facilita la personalización y una individualización óptima.

Al igual que todos los demás miembros de la familia R 18, la nueva R 18 Roctane ofrece una arquitectura muy fácil de convertir, que ya era el objetivo cuando se concibió el diseño básico de la serie R 18. Además, las tapas visibles de las válvulas (tapas de la culata) y la tapa del cofre (tapa de la carcasa del motor) están diseñadas de tal forma que se encuentran fuera de la cámara de aceite, lo que facilita enormemente su cambio.

Los aspectos más destacados de la nueva BMW R 18 Roctane:

  • Estilo icónico gracias al uso de tecnología moderna y materiales auténticos.
  • El mayor motor bóxer BMW de todos los tiempos, con una cilindrada de 1.802 cc.
  • Potencia 67 kW (91 CV) a 4.750 rpm, par máximo 158 Nm a 3.000 rpm.

Ducati presenta las nuevas Streetfighter V4 2023 y Streetfighter V4 SP2: la evolución de la “fórmula de lucha”

  • La familia Ducati Streetfighter V4 evoluciona, aplicando los desarrollos de la gama Panigale V4 a la “Fórmula de lucha”
  • Nueva puesta a punto del chasis y paquete electrónico más amplio y eficaz: nuevas curvas de par diferenciadas marcha a marcha, Wet Riding Mode, Full Engine ModeLa Streetfighter V4 SP2 suma las especificaciones técnicas exclusivas de los modelos “SP” a la evolución de la “Fórmula de Lucha” para expresar todo su potencial en la pista

Borgo Panigale (Bolonia, Italia), 20 de octubre de 2022: en el quinto episodio de la serie web Ducati World Première 2023, Ducati presentó la nueva familia Streetfighter V4.

Con los modelos V4 y V4 S, junto con el V4 SP2, más exclusivo y de mayor rendimiento, Ducati continúa en la aplicación y evolución de la “Fórmula de lucha” ganadora para permanecer en la cima del segmento con un nivel de equipamiento inigualable.

La evolución natural de la familia es una moto que lleva aún más lejos los conceptos de la “Fórmula de lucha”, cuyos elementos clave son la Panigale V4 desprovista de carenados, manillar alto y ancho, 178 kg de peso, motor Desmosedici Stradale de 208 CV , alas biplano y paquete electrónico de última generación. Una mejora que sigue a la de la familia Panigale V4.

La Ducati Streetfighter V4 2023 transmite deportividad, gracias a la configuración monoplaza de serie con sillín y estriberas para pasajero de serie.
El diseño de la Streetfighter V4 es directo y minimalista, con su luz frontal full-LED y su DRL en forma de V que recuerda la vista frontal de la Panigale V4. El frente bajo e inclinado hacia adelante, como para extender las líneas fuertes del tanque, le da a la moto un aspecto de depredador.
El depósito de combustible tiene las mismas formas que en la Panigale V4 2022, que están diseñadas para brindar un mejor apoyo al ciclista durante el frenado y las curvas. Tiene una mayor capacidad (17 litros) y está abrazado por nuevas tapas laterales.

El nuevo “Front Frame” y el Desmosedici Stradale se dejan al descubierto tanto como sea posible, con una carrocería mínima que, a través de líneas aerodinámicas y volúmenes escultóricos, crean un conjunto limpio y esencial. En la versión V4 S, la Streetfighter 2023 está disponible en una nueva y arenosa decoración “Grey Nero”, que juega con el contraste entre el gris y los distintos tonos negros (oscuros y lúcidos) de la carrocería, que resaltan los componentes técnicos como frenos y suspensión y le dan a la motocicleta un aspecto cada vez más agresivo, pero aún refinado.

Electrónica
La nueva Streetfighter V4 implementa la lógica Power Modes ya desarrollada en las Ducati Panigale V4 y V4 S con calibraciones dedicadas al motor Desmosedici Stradale en la configuración Streetfighter. Hay cuatro estrategias de entrega del motor: Completo, Alto, Medio, Bajo. Full y Low se han ideado recientemente, mientras que High y Medium se han revisado en la estrategia. El modo Full Power permite que el motor exprese todo su potencial con curvas de par sin filtros electrónicos, excepto en la primera marcha. Para los modos de potencia alta y media, se ha desarrollado un nuevo sistema de gestión de mapas Ride by Wire con calibración dedicada para cada una de las seis marchas, lo que garantiza que el ciclista siempre obtenga el empuje óptimo cada vez que se abre el acelerador. El Low Power Mode, por su parte, ha sido diseñado para circular por superficies de baja adherencia, limitando la potencia máxima de la moto a 165 CV y ​​ofreciendo una respuesta de aceleración especialmente manejable. Las calibraciones dedicadas a la Streetfighter V4 garantizan la máxima correlación entre el valor de par requerido por el ciclista y el realmente entregado.

La Streetfighter V4 en la versión 2023 ve la introducción del nuevo modo de conducción en mojado para hacer que la conducción sea aún más segura en superficies de bajo agarre. El equipamiento de serie se enriquece con una batería de iones de litio para la versión S (1,7 kg más ligera que la anterior y ya equipada en la versión V4 SP).

El salpicadero de la nueva Streetfighter V4 también sigue la evolución trazada por la Panigale V4. Los gráficos están revisados ​​en todas las vistas, para hacer la información más simple y descriptiva y apoyo en la calibración de los distintos parámetros.
Al igual que en la Panigale V4, el cambio de marcha se indica a través de una señal LED verde externa. El tablero ofrece el modo de visualización “Track Evo”, que replica el diseño utilizado en el MotoGP Desmosedici y garantiza una vista inmediata de la información más importante y la intervención de los controles electrónicos.

La Streetfighter V4 2023 también evoluciona gracias al nuevo software Engine Brake Control (EBC) EVO 2, que garantiza una mejor estabilidad, precisión y direccionalidad en las fases de frenado y entrada a las curvas y la posibilidad de que el piloto defina con mayor precisión la configuración electrónica para cada uso. . Este software presenta una calibración diferente de marcha a marcha en cada uno de los tres niveles seleccionables. La nueva estrategia fue desarrollada para optimizar la intensidad del freno motor en función de la carga en la parte trasera. En la primera fase de frenada, cuando hay poca carga en el neumático trasero, el EBC EVO 2 proporciona menos freno motor, aumentándolo luego a medida que te acercas al centro de la curva, donde la intervención del freno motor contribuye en mayor medida a la ralentización. bajando la moto y cerrando la línea. Gracias a esta modificación, que garantiza una intervención más equilibrada del control del freno motor en todas las condiciones de conducción, también se reduce el bloqueo de la rueda trasera en las frenadas más exigentes.

La Streetfighter V4 ’23 implementa también una nueva estrategia para Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) que mejora la fluidez de los cambios en cada grado de apertura del acelerador, tanto cuando este último está parcializado como cuando está completamente abierto, lidiando con los dos. situaciones de una manera diferente.
En el cambio parcializado del acelerador, la estrategia actúa tanto a través de un corte de inyección como de una reducción del avance, haciendo que el cambio en el uso en carretera sea más suave gracias a la ausencia de paradas y reinicios del motor. En el cambio de gas totalmente abierto, típico del uso en pista, la estrategia DQS se refina con una evolución de la fase de restitución de par que garantiza más estabilidad a la moto y un empuje más homogéneo y, por lo tanto, más rentable en el tiempo por vuelta.

Por último, a estos cambios electrónicos se suma una actualización de la estrategia de control del ventilador de refrigeración, que ofrece una mejor gestión de las temperaturas de funcionamiento y un mayor confort térmico para el piloto ya a velocidades típicas de uso en carretera.

Chasis y ergonomía
En la nueva Streetfighter V4, el chasis también sigue la evolución de la familia Panigale V4 para ofrecer a los entusiastas mejoras en la estabilidad, la sensación frontal y la seguridad en la conducción. El chasis incluye Front Frame y basculante monobrazo, ambos de aluminio, con horquilla invertida y amortiguador regulable mecánicamente en la versión estándar V4.
La Streetfighter V4 S cuenta con suspensión Öhlins semiactiva (horquilla NIX30 invertida de 43 mm y amortiguador TTX36) con interfaz SmartEC 2.0, ganando en versatilidad, eficacia y rapidez en la puesta a punto. Además, en la versión V4 S, las llantas son Marchesini forjadas en aleación de aluminio con importantes beneficios en términos de agilidad en los cambios de dirección y capacidad de respuesta en aceleración y frenado gracias a la reducción de masas no suspendidas.

Al igual que en la Panigale V4, el pivote del basculante de la Streetfighter V4 2023 se coloca 4 mm más alto, aumentando la acción anti-sentadilla que ayuda al ciclista gracias a una mayor estabilidad, precisión y capacidad para mantener la trayectoria al salir de las curvas y, en general. , en todas las situaciones de aceleración.
La distribución del peso también se mueve hacia el frente, cargándolo más y aumentando así la precisión y la velocidad en la entrada a las curvas. Por último, la ergonomía se beneficia de la nueva disposición del depósito de combustible, cuya forma ofrece una mayor sujeción al piloto durante las frenadas y las curvas. El peso húmedo de la Streetfighter V4 S 2023 se sitúa en 197,5 kg.

Motor
El Desmosedici Stradale de 1.103 cc, capaz de generar 208 CV a 13.000 rpm y 123 Nm en configuración Euro-5, se ha revisado en la calibración para que coincida con el mayor diámetro de la salida del silenciador, introducido para reducir la contrapresión del escape. Además, en el lado derecho se encuentra la tapa del embrague de la Panigale V4, que permite montar fácilmente el embrague en seco y la protección de la tapa del embrague.

Luchador callejero V4 SP2
Para impulsar aún más el rendimiento de la Streetfighter V4 2023, Ducati también presenta el modelo de gama alta Streetfighter V4 SP2 en una versión numerada. Una moto lista para salir a la pista, gracias a un equipamiento técnico exclusivo que combina la “Fórmula de la Lucha” con las especificaciones “SP”, haciéndola aún más eficaz en la conducción deportiva y, en particular, en la pista.

La Streetfighter V4 SP2 se ofrece con el diseño  “Winter Test”, diseñado por el Centro Stile Ducati inspirándose en las motos Ducati Corse utilizadas durante las pruebas de pretemporada de los Campeonatos de MotoGP y SBK. El negro mate de la carrocería, combinado con el acabado de carbono mate de las llantas y las aletas, contrasta con los detalles en rojo vivo y el brillo del depósito de aluminio cepillado a la vista, que también encontramos en las tapas laterales de los radiadores. El número progresivo de la bicicleta está grabado con láser en el manillar.

La Streetfighter V4 SP2 está equipada con llantas de carbono de 5 radios divididos*, 1,4 kg más ligeras que las de aluminio forjado montadas en la Streetfighter V4 S y capaces de reducir el momento de inercia en un 26 % en la parte delantera y un 46 % en la parte trasera, lo que hace la moto es significativamente más ágil y ligera al cambiar de dirección. Las pinzas de freno delanteras Brembo Stylema R®*  garantizan una alta potencia de frenado, así como un rendimiento excepcionalmente uniforme incluso en caso de uso prolongado en la pista*.

En la Streetfighter V4 SP2, la Desmosedici Stradale está equipada con el embrague seco STM-EVO SBK*, que garantiza una mejor función antirrebote, incluso en las subidas más agresivas, y más fluidez en todas las fases “sin gas”, esencial para estar eficaz en la pista cuando se conduce al límite.

Ducati unveils new Streetfighter V4 2023 and Streetfighter V4 SP2: the “Fight Formula” evolution

  • Ducati Streetfighter V4 family evolves, applying the developments of the Panigale V4 range to the “Fight Formula”
  • New chassis set-up and more extensive and effective electronic package: new torque curves differentiated gear by gear, Wet Riding Mode, Full Engine Mode
  • The Streetfighter V4 SP2 adds the exclusive technical specifications of the “SP” models to the evolution of the “Fight Formula” to express its full potential on the track

Borgo Panigale (Bologna, Italy), 20 October 2022 – In the fifth episode of the 2023 Ducati World Première web series, Ducati presented the new Streetfighter V4 family


With the V4 and V4 S models, together with the more exclusive and performing V4 SP2, Ducati continues in the application and evolution of the winning “Fight Formula” to remain at the top of the segment with an unrivalled level of equipment.

The natural evolution of the family is  a bike that pushes the concepts of the “Fight Formula” even further, the key elements of which are the Panigale V4 stripped of the fairings, high and wide handlebar, 178 kg weight, 208 hp Desmosedici Stradale engine, biplane wings and latest generation electronic package. An improvement that follows that of the Panigale V4 family.

Ducati Streetfighter V4 2023 transmits sportiness, thanks to the standard single-seater configuration with saddle and passenger footrests supplied.
The design of the Streetfighter V4 is direct and minimal, with its full-LED front light and its V-shaped DRL that recalls the Panigale V4’s front view. The low, forward-canted front, as to extend the strong lines of the tank, gives the bike a predator look.
The fuel tank has the same shapes as on the Panigale V4 2022, which are designed to better support the rider during braking and cornering. It has a greater capacity (17 litres) and is embraced by new side covers.

The new “Front Frame” and the Desmosedici Stradale are left uncovered as much as possible, with a minimal bodywork that, through streamlined lines and sculptural volumes, create a clean, essential ensemble. In the V4 S version, the Streetfighter 2023 is available in a new, gritty “Grey Nero” livery, played on the contrast between the grey and the various black tones – dark and lucid – of the bodywork, that bring out the technical components like brakes and suspension and give the motorcycle an ever more aggressive, but still refined look.

Electronics
The new Streetfighter V4 implements the Power Modes logic already developed in the Ducati Panigale V4 and V4 S with calibrations dedicated to the Desmosedici Stradale engine in the Streetfighter configuration. There are four engine delivery strategies: Full, High, Medium, Low.  Full and Low are newly devised, while High and Medium have been revised in strategy. Full Power Mode allows the engine to express its full potential with torque curves without electronic filters, except for first gear. For the High and Medium Power Modes, a new Ride by Wire map management system has been developed with dedicated calibration for each of the six gears, which ensures the rider always obtains the optimum thrust every time the throttle is opened. The Low Power Mode, on the other hand, has been designed for riding on low-grip surfaces, limiting the maximum power of the bike to 165 hp and offering a particularly manageable throttle response. The calibrations dedicated to the Streetfighter V4 guarantee maximum correlation between the torque value required by the rider and that actually delivered.

The Streetfighter V4 in the 2023 version sees the introduction of the brand-new Wet Riding Mode  to make riding even safer on low-grip surfaces. The standard equipment is enriched by a lithium-ion battery for the S version (1.7 kg lighter than the previous one and already equipped on the V4 SP version).

The dashboard of the new Streetfighter V4 also follows the evolution traced by the Panigale V4. The graphics are revised in all views, to make the information simpler and more descriptive and support in the calibration of the various parameters.
As on the Panigale V4, the gear change is indicated via an external green LED signal. The dashboard offers the “Track Evo” display mode, which replicates the layout used on the MotoGP Desmosedici and guarantees an immediate view of the most important information and the intervention of the electronic controls.

The Streetfighter V4 2023 also evolves thanks to the new Engine Brake Control (EBC) EVO 2 software  which guarantees better stability, precision and directionality in the braking and corner entry phases and the possibility for the rider to define more precisely the electronic setup for each use. This software features a different gear-by-gear calibration on each of the three selectable levels. The new strategy was developed to optimize the intensity of the engine brake as a function of the load on the rear end. In the first braking phase, when there is little load on the rear tyre, the EBC EVO 2 provides less engine brake, then increasing it as you approach the centre of the corner, where the intervention of the engine brake makes the greatest contribution in slowing down the bike and closing the line. Thanks to this modification, which guarantees a more balanced intervention of the control on the engine brake in all riding conditions, the locking of the rear wheel in the most demanding braking sections is also reduced.

The Streetfighter V4 ’23 implements also a new strategy for the Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) which improves the fluidity of shifting at every degree of opening of the throttle, both when the latter is partialized and when it is completely open, dealing with the two situations in a different way.
In partialized throttle shifting, the strategy acts both through an injection cut and a reduction of advance, making shifting in road use smoother thanks to the absence of engine shutdowns and re-starts. In fully open throttle shifting, typical of track use, the DQS strategy is refined with an evolution of the torque restitution phase that guarantees more stability to the bike and a more homogeneous and therefore more profitable thrust in the lap time.

Finally, an update of the cooling fan control strategy, which offers better management of operating temperatures and greater thermal comfort for the rider already at typical road use speeds, is added to these electronic changes.

Chassis and ergonomics
On the new Streetfighter V4, the chassis also follows the evolution of the Panigale V4 family to offer enthusiasts improvements in stability, front-end feeling and riding safety. The chassis includes Front Frame and single-sided swingarm, both in aluminium, with upside-down fork and mechanically adjustable shock absorber on the V4 standard version.
The Streetfighter V4 S features semi-active Öhlins suspension (NIX30 upside-down 43 mm fork and TTX36 shock absorber) with SmartEC 2.0 interface, gaining in versatility, effectiveness and rapidity in set-up. In addition, on the V4 S version, the rims are Marchesini forged in aluminium alloy  with important benefits in terms of nimbleness when changing direction and responsiveness in acceleration and braking thanks to the reduction of unsprung masses.

As on the Panigale V4, the swingarm pivot of the Streetfighter V4 2023 is positioned 4 mm higher, increasing the anti-squat action that helps the rider thanks to greater stability, precision and the ability to maintain the trajectory when exiting corners and, in general, in all acceleration situations.
The weight distribution also moves towards the front, loading it more and thus increasing accuracy and speed in corner entry. Finally, the ergonomics benefit from the new layout of the fuel tank, the shape of which offers greater support to the rider during braking and cornering. The wet weight of the Streetfighter V4 S 2023 stands at 197.5 kg.

Engine
The  1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale, capable of delivering 208 hp at 13,000 rpm and 123 Nm in Euro-5 configuration, has been revised in calibration to match the larger diameter of the silencer outlet, introduced in order to reduce the exhaust back pressure. In addition, on the right side there is the clutch cover of the Panigale V4, which allows you to easily mount the dry clutch and the clutch cover protection.

Streetfighter V4 SP2
To push the performance of the Streetfighter V4 2023 even further, Ducati also presents the top-of-the-range Streetfighter V4 SP2 model in a numbered version. A bike ready to hit the track, thanks to exclusive technical equipment that combines the “Fight Formula” with the “SP” specifications, making it even more effective in sports riding and in particular on the track.

Streetfighter V4 SP2 is offered in the  “Winter Test” livery, designed by the Centro Stile Ducati taking inspiration from the Ducati Corse bikes used during the pre-season tests of the MotoGP and SBK Championships. The matt black of the bodywork, combined with the matt carbon finish of the rims and wings, contrasts with the bright red accents and the brilliance of the exposed brushed aluminium tank, which we also find on the side covers of the radiators. The progressive number of the bike is lasered on the handlebar.

Streetfighter V4 SP2 is equipped with 5 split-spoke carbon rims*, 1.4 kg lighter than the forged aluminium ones mounted on the Streetfighter V4 S and able to reduce the moment of inertia by 26% at the front and 46% at the rear, making the bike significantly more nimble and lighter when changing direction. The Brembo Stylema R® front brake calipers*  guarantee high braking power, as well as exceptionally consistent performance even in the case of prolonged use on the track*.

On the Streetfighter V4 SP2 the Desmosedici Stradale is equipped with the STM-EVO SBK dry clutch*, which guarantees a better slipper function, even in the most aggressive of climbs, and more fluidity in all “off-throttle” phases, essential to be effective on the track when riding at the limit.
A contribution to performance between the curbs also comes from the Öhlins suspension with springs and hydraulics identical to those of the Panigale V4 which guarantee the rider the right confidence for riding at the limit
The equipment is completed by adjustable aluminium foot-pegs machined from solid that increase the lean angle and allow the rider to find the optimal position in the saddle, carbon front mudguard and by usable accessories on “track days,” such as an open carbon clutch cover**, a cap for removing the license plate holder and screws for removing the mirrors**.

Colours and availability

The Streetfighter V4 and V4 S models will be available in Ducati dealerships starting from January 2023, while the V4 SP2 version will arrive starting from March 2023. The colour range consists of Ducati Red and the new “Grey Nero” livery, which will be available only for the “S” version.

There is a wide range of accessories, which allow you to customize the Streetfighter V4 making it even sportier, starting with the Ducati Performance by Akrapovič full-racing exhaust**. Equipped with high silencers at the side of the tail, it allows a reduction of the total weight of 5 kilos and raises the maximum power to 220 hp. Noise is within the limit of 105 dB (102 dB with the dB killer installed).

The accessories catalogue also features street-legal slip-on systems, mudguards, aero kit and carbon fibre frame and crankcase protections, billet aluminium controls, but also tyre warmers and stands for those who want to use their Streetfighter V4 on the circuit.

Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini: the perfect synthesis of Italian sporting style

Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini: la síntesis perfecta del estilo deportivo italiano

Presentada en el San Marino MotoGP, la motocicleta Ducati de edición limitada de 630 unidades está inspirada en el Lamborghini Huracán STO

Misano Adriatico/Sant’Agata Bolognese, 2 de septiembre de 2022  – La nueva Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini, inspirada en el superdeportivo Huracán STO, se presentó al público en el Gran Premio de San Marino en el Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli. La moto es el resultado del segundo proyecto de colaboración entre las dos marcas, embajadoras del Made in Italy, que en 2020 dio a luz a la Ducati Diavel 1260 Lamborghini, inspirada en la Sián.

La Ducati Streetfighter V4 más impresionante producida es una motocicleta que encarna a la perfección los valores de estilo, deportividad y exclusividad compartidos por Ducati y Lamborghini, las dos marcas de excelencia que han ayudado a escribir la historia del “Motor Valley” de Italia y que han renovado y amplió su colaboración con este proyecto de lujo . El resultado es una combinación de tecnología, rendimiento y belleza para inspirar profundamente a los entusiastas desde el primer vistazo.

Aplicando la conocida “Fórmula de la Lucha” a la base técnica de la Panigale V4 S 2023 e integrando elementos y rasgos estilísticos que son inconfundiblemente Lamborghini, Ducati ha creado un modelo totalmente nuevo y exclusivo dentro de su gama. La moto se produce en una serie limitada numerada de 630 unidades y reinterpreta en clave Ducati los conceptos que llevaron a la creación del Lamborghini Huracán STO, integrando elementos técnicos y estilísticos típicos del ADN de Lamborghini, incluida la librea exclusiva en verde y naranja.

El Ducati Style Center, en colaboración con el Centro Stile de Lamborghini, rediseñó las superestructuras de esta moto especial, inspirándose en la Huracán STO. Cuenta con ruedas forjadas especialmente hechas mejoradas por la tuerca de sujeción de titanio en la parte trasera; el diseño del guardabarros delantero está inspirado en los conductos de aire integrados en el “cofango” del Huracán STO; la puntera, la tapa del radiador, las aletas, la tapa del tanque y la cola están hechos de fibra de carbono, la misma que se usa para los superdeportivos de Sant’Agata Bolognese.

La librea presenta el logotipo de STO y el número 63, que hace referencia al año en que se fundó Lamborghini. Este número, multiplicado por diez, da las 630 unidades que producirá Ducati, cada una acompañada de un certificado de autenticidad. Los colores de lujo utilizados para la moto son exactamente los mismos que los utilizados para la Huracán STO, con base en “Verde Citrea” (verde) y partes de contraste en “Arancio Dac” (naranja). El nombre del modelo y el número progresivo se muestran en una placa de metal insertada en la tapa del tanque central y una inserción de aluminio en la llave de encendido.

Unveiled at the San Marino MotoGP, the 630-unit limited edition Ducati motorcycle inspired by the Lamborghini Huracán STO

Misano Adriatico/Sant’Agata Bolognese, 2 September 2022 – The new Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini, inspired by the Huracán STO super sports car, was unveiled to the public at the San Marino Grand Prix at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli. The bike is the result of the second collaborative project between the two brands, ambassadors of Made in Italy, which in 2020 gave birth to the Ducati Diavel 1260 Lamborghini, inspired by the Sián.

The most stunning Ducati Streetfighter V4 produced is a motorcycle that perfectly embodies the values of style, sportiness, and exclusivity shared by Ducati and Lamborghini, the two brands of excellence that have helped write the history of Italy’s “Motor Valley” and that have renewed and expanded their collaboration with this luxury project. The result is a combination of technology, performance and beauty to deeply inspire enthusiasts from the very first look.

Applying the well-known “Fight Formula” to the technical base of the Panigale V4 S 2023 and integrating elements and stylistic features that are unmistakably Lamborghini, Ducati has created an exclusive all-new model within its range. The bike is produced in a numbered limited series of 630 units and reinterprets in a Ducati key the concepts that led to the creation of the Lamborghini Huracán STO, integrating technical and stylistic elements typical of Lamborghini  DNA, including the exclusive livery in green and orange.

The Ducati Style Center, in collaboration with Lamborghini’s Centro Stile, redesigned the superstructures of this special bike, drawing inspiration from the Huracán STO. It features specially-made forged wheels enhanced by the titanium clamping nut on the rear; the front fender design is inspired by the air ducts integrated in the Huracán STO’s “cofango”; the toe cap, radiator cover, wings, tank cover and tail are all made of carbon fiber, the same used for the super sports cars from Sant’Agata Bolognese.

The livery features the STO logo and the number 63, which refers to the year in which Lamborghini was founded. This number, multiplied by ten, gives the 630 units to be produced by Ducati, each accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The luxury colors used for the bike are exactly the same as those used for the Huracán STO, with a base in “Verde Citrea” (green) and contrasting parts in “Arancio Dac” (orange). The model name and the progressive number are shown on a metal plate inserted in the central tank cover and an aluminum insert on the ignition key.

There are also grille extractors and air intakes on the tank cover, toe cap and tail piece that explicitly echo the Huracán STO’s rear brake cooling ducts; the vents on the car’s front fenders; and the hood extraction vents. The bike’s seat is also inspired by the Huracán STO’s  seat finish with accents matching the superstructure. At the heart of the Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini is the 1103 cc Desmosedici Stradale engine with power of 208 hp with a dry clutch, as on the Ducati MotoGP™ and Superbike models.

Misano Adriatico/Sant’Agata Bolognese, 2 September 2022 – The new Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini, inspired by the Huracán STO super sports car, was unveiled to the public at the San Marino Grand Prix at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli. The bike is the result of the second collaborative project between the two brands, ambassadors of Made in Italy, which in 2020 gave birth to the Ducati Diavel 1260 Lamborghini, inspired by the Sián.

The most stunning Ducati Streetfighter V4 produced is a motorcycle that perfectly embodies the values of style, sportiness, and exclusivity shared by Ducati and Lamborghini, the two brands of excellence that have helped write the history of Italy’s “Motor Valley” and that have renewed and expanded their collaboration with this luxury project. The result is a combination of technology, performance and beauty to deeply inspire enthusiasts from the very first look.

Applying the well-known “Fight Formula” to the technical base of the Panigale V4 S 2023 and integrating elements and stylistic features that are unmistakably Lamborghini, Ducati has created an exclusive all-new model within its range. The bike is produced in a numbered limited series of 630 units and reinterprets in a Ducati key the concepts that led to the creation of the Lamborghini Huracán STO, integrating technical and stylistic elements typical of Lamborghini  DNA, including the exclusive livery in green and orange.

The Ducati Style Center, in collaboration with Lamborghini’s Centro Stile, redesigned the superstructures of this special bike, drawing inspiration from the Huracán STO. It features specially-made forged wheels enhanced by the titanium clamping nut on the rear; the front fender design is inspired by the air ducts integrated in the Huracán STO’s “cofango”; the toe cap, radiator cover, wings, tank cover and tail are all made of carbon fiber, the same used for the super sports cars from Sant’Agata Bolognese.

The livery features the STO logo and the number 63, which refers to the year in which Lamborghini was founded. This number, multiplied by ten, gives the 630 units to be produced by Ducati, each accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The luxury colors used for the bike are exactly the same as those used for the Huracán STO, with a base in “Verde Citrea” (green) and contrasting parts in “Arancio Dac” (orange). The model name and the progressive number are shown on a metal plate inserted in the central tank cover and an aluminum insert on the ignition key.

There are also grille extractors and air intakes on the tank cover, toe cap and tail piece that explicitly echo the Huracán STO’s rear brake cooling ducts; the vents on the car’s front fenders; and the hood extraction vents. The bike’s seat is also inspired by the Huracán STO’s  seat finish with accents matching the superstructure. At the heart of the Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini is the 1103 cc Desmosedici Stradale engine with power of 208 hp with a dry clutch, as on the Ducati MotoGP™ and Superbike models.

In addition to the 630 examples of Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini, Ducati will offer an even more exclusive series dedicated to 63 Lamborghini customers who, thanks to the Ducati Style Center, will be able to create unique examples by customizing their Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini with livery and rims in the same color as their car, completing the bike through Ducati’s Speciale Clienti program. It will then be possible to choose the brake caliper colors and seat details from those included in the Huracán STO palettes: yellow, red, black and California orange, in addition to the standard color scheme.

Finally, owners of the Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini will be able to complete their look with a helmet, jacket and limited-edition bike leathers, in colorways reflecting their Ducati bike’s specification.
