Ducati 1098s Tricolore
Bike Outline
For 2007 only, the Ducati 1098 S was available in an additional special limited ‘Tricolore’ version (red, white and green, the colours of the Italian national flag). The Ducati ‘Tricolore’ tradition began in 1985 with the stunning 750 F1 and then continued with the limited edition 851. The latest ‘Tricolore’ is a 1098 S with the additional features of frame and wheels finished in traditional ‘racing gold’ colours. In addition, a power-increasing 102 dB Termignoni racing muffler kit with dedicated ECU is supplied with the bike.
Suspension is of the very highest performance standard. The fully adjustable 43mm Öhlins FG511 forks, which sport low friction Titanium Nitride fork sliders, respond effortlessly to every imperfection in the tarmac. Beyond their advanced engineering solutions, one of the most important characteristics of Öhlins forks is their ability to communicate the condition and quality of the tyre-to-road contact patch, a feature that puts every rider in superior control.
The suspension system is completed and perfectly balanced by using a fully adjustable Öhlins 46PRC rear shock with a ride enhancing top-out spring, controlling the single-sided swingarm for outstanding drive, traction and steering precision. The Öhlins package is completed with a control-enhancing adjustable steering damper.
When designing the additions for this bike I wanted to ensure that nothing “took away” from the overall feel of the bike. When dealing with a limited edition that has been designed to encapsulate an entire brand like the Tricolore, it was vitally important not to add so much to the bike that it detracted from its appearance as a Tricolore or from the heritage it represents.
It was for this reason that all the modifications to this bike are subtle and understated and have been sourced from either the Ducati Corse or Ducati Performance product lines.
None of the original painted body panels have been replaced to ensure that the factory Tricolore paint scheme has been maintained.
