Desmosedici Stradale

Episod terbaru Ducati World Premiere 2024 menyaksikan pengeluar motosikal Itali itu melancarkan Ducati Multistrada V4 RS, keluarga terbaru bagi model Multistrada. 

Perbezaan utama varian RS tertumpu kepada bahagian enjin. Ini kerana ketika Multistrada V4, V4 S, Rally, Pikes Peak dan Grand Tour dipacu enjin Granturismo V4 1,158cc 4-silinder yang menghasilkan sekitar 170hp dan 125Nm, Multistrada V4 RS pula dihidupkan enjin Desmosedici Stradale 1,103cc yang sama terdapat pada Panigale dan Streetfighter V4. Juga memeriahkan lagi V4 RS ini adalah kehadiran ciri ‘dry clutch’.

Hasilnya, Ducati Multistrada V4 RS ini menawarkan 180hp pada 12,250rpm dan 118Nm pada 9,500rpm. Ini juga bermakna, Multistrada V4 RS ini kembali kepada penggunaan Desmodromic valve yang ikonik kepada jentera Ducati (Granturismo V4 guna pakai ‘valve-spring’). 

Menariknya, bagi memastikan suhu panas enjin 1,103cc V4 itu tidak menyeksakan ketika dalam trafik sesak, ECU akan mematikan dua silinder sewaktu dalam keadaan berhenti atau semasa dalam gear neutral. 

Meskipun platform berbeza, namun Multistrada V4 RS ini meminjam kerangka aluminium yang sama dari varian Pikes Peak sekaligus menyaksikan sudut ‘steering head’ berubah dari 25.75-darjah kepada 24.5-darjah sekaligus mewujudkan gaya tunggangan yang lebih sporty. 

Juga seperti Pikes Peak, Multistrada V4 RS ini dilengkapi dengan rim 17-inci yang dipadankan bersama tayar Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV Corsas. Selain itu penggunaan rim aluminium Marchesini juga berjaya mengurangkan 2.7kg berat. 

V4 RS ini juga didatangkan dengan suspensi Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 yang sama terdapat pada V4 Pikes Peak namun dengan elektronik yang telah ditala semula bagi mencapai kawalan fork dan monoshock yang lebih tepat. Tetapan suspensi juga akan diselaraskan mengikut mod Race, Sport, Touring dan Urban.

Selain enjin, V4 RS juga berkongsi pakej brek sama seperti Panigale V4 termasuk kaliper monoblok berkembar Brembo Stylema yang mengapit cakera brek 330mm depan sementara bahagian belakang dikenalikan kaliper Brembo dengan cakera brek 265mm. Model ini jgua hadir dengan ciri ‘cornering ABS’ secara standard. 

Ducati juga mengubah kedudukan tempat letak kaki (footrest) agar lebih tinggi dan kebelakang sementara ‘handlebar’ pula lebih rendah dan pendek berbanding Multistrada sedia ada. 

Ketika siaran Ducati World Premiere 2024, Ducati menjelaskan bahawa V4 RS ini adalah model edisi terhad namun tidak dinyatakan jumlah spesifik model yang dihasilkan.

According to a recent interview with Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali posted by AcidMoto, it seems that there is light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to the re-emergence of the Ducati Streetfighter model. This time around, talks about a possible Ducati Panigale V4 is going around and what the Ducati big boss mentioned in the interview might just be a point of high interest. (more…)

  • Ducati is looking forward to developing more V4-powered road bikes.

  • They will launch 29 new bikes in the next 5 years.

  • The new bikes will also cover segments in which Ducati is now absent.

Ducati’s CEO, Claudio Domenicali has revealed that more Ducati V4 models are on the way. Domenicali said it due was the Ducati Panigale V4’s success.

Ducati has planned to release 29 new bikes in the next 5 years, including in segments they are currently absent from. As such, the Italian manufacturer will utilize the V4 engine in different platforms.

Although they have not revealed where they will install the 213 bhp 1103cc Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine next, many are of the opinion that Ducati are considering naked, touring and adventure bikes.

Domenicali also expressed surprise with the Panigale V4 R superbike racing homologation model. It uses a 998cc V4 engine instead of the 1103cc V4.

“The V4 R positively surprised us,” he said. “It was a difficult exercise already with the reduced capacity to keep the same horsepower, but the engine then responded quite strongly to the improvements that we made, so that by the end we found a bit more (power) than we expected. In many ways it is the most advanced bike we have ever developed.”

Wait a minute. Why is the V4 R “the most advanced bike” Ducati has ever created? That’s because MotoGP does not allow electronic package, winglets, electronic suspension and ABS.

  • Ducati telah mengumumkan bahawa akan ada lebih banyak model yang dijana oleh enjin V4.
  • Enjin ini akan digarap dari enjin Desmosedici Stradale yang menjana motosikal Panigale V4.
  • Enjin V4 baharu tersebut akan lebih ‘mampu milik’, menurut Ducati.

  • Ducati announced that more models will be powered by the V-Four engine.

  • The engine will be adopted from the Desmosedici Stradale that’s powering the Panigale V4.

  • The new V-Four engines will be more “affordable” according to Ducati.

The Ducati Panigale V4 marked a paradigm shift for the Italian manufacturer as they move from their signature and traditional V-Twin to the V-Four format to power their production sportbikes.

However, while the 1103cc Desmosedici Stradale engine in the Panigale V4 alone at the moment, as they will adopt it to an entire range of new V-Four powered bikes. Ducati called some of the models “affordable.”

But cheaper in what sense? The V-Four format is inherently more complex (hence more expensive) than the V-Twin or even the inline-Four to build. There has to be a compromise somewhere and that should be the materials used, hence making less power.

The manufacturer had also said that the next V-Four model should be an “R” version of a smaller capacity Panigale V4. According to Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali, we should see the V-Four format powering other models other than the Panigale in the near future.

“It will be more in the future because we think that we don’t want to just take this engine and apply it as it is. The new motor will be one that will be based on this technology but will be much more tuned for longer distance and lower maintenance cost and this is where our development we will focus. It’s taking time because we want to be right, but this is where we are going,” Domenicali told Motorcycle News.

That’s a mouth-watering prospect, indeed. Multistrada V4 or Streetfighter V4, anyone?

Ducati Streetfighter V4 coming soon?

  • Rumours about Ducati possibly unleashing Ducati Streetfighter V4 is currently being discussed by motoring experts.

  • The next-generation Ducati Streetfighter powered by the 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine does sound amazing.
