Monster S4R S Tricolore - THE FLAGSHIP
Some of the most sought after Ducati models
are the striking 'Tricolore' versions. Models like the
F1 750, 851 and more recently the 1098 Tricolore, produced
in limited quantities, represented the best-of-the-best
and now enjoy legendary status.
For 2008, Ducati will produce a Special Edition S4R
S in the bold Tricolore colour scheme. True to its legacy,
the S4R S Tricolore epitomizes the essential soul of
Ducati. Its Italian design heritage is expressed by
the colours of the Italian flag and its sporting heart
could not be better represented than by the racing technology
and absolute racing performance it embraces.
The Monster S4R S Tricolore - true to its name - the
flagship of the Monster family.
THE "MONSTER SUPERBIKE"
The liquid-cooled, 4-valve per cylinder, 998 Testastretta
L-Twin engine features a 100 mm bore and short stroke
of 63.5 mm to limit average piston speed and allow increased
rpm. The result is a staggering 130 hp and 76.6 lb-ft
of brute torque.
Testastretta technology allows a reduced angle between
the intake and exhaust valves resulting in a clean,
compact combustion chamber that is highly efficient.
The optimised combustion environment and linear flame
front inside the specially designed heads, combined
with cutting-edge electronic engine control technology,
guarantees precise and optimal combustion throughout
the rev range.
The chassis components are unparalleled. Fully adjustable
Öhlins suspension front and rear complemented by
super lightweight Y-shaped 5-spoke wheels ensure outstanding
handling, while 320 mm Brembo twin discs on the front
have radial-mounted calipers with four pistons and four
pads per caliper to provide incredible race-worthy stopping
power.
And to make this Monster look and feel even more exciting,
ultra-light carbon fibre hasbeen employed for the silencer
cover, exhaust heat guard, front mudguard, radiator
covers and cam belt covers.
