The all new 2013 Model range launched...

Ducati introduce the next generation of the Hypermotard family, taking the innovation and excitement of the original concept and enhancing it even further with three incredible new models: The thrilling Hypermotard, Hypermotard SP and the introduction of a stylish and accessible mid-range tourer with everyday practicality - The Hyperstrada. The new range combines Ducati's latest technologies with outstanding Italian design and engineering to write the latest chapter in the Hypermotard story.

The Hyperstrada model represents a completely new dimension for Hypermotard, with the innovative realisation of a unique model that is a "cross-over" between the worlds of motard and touring. This incredibly versatile motorcycle opens an exciting new road to explore and releases the full potential of this thrilling family. Its factory-equipped touring components present a comfortable and user-friendly travel companion with generous luggage capacity and the added security of ABS and DTC combined into the Ducati Safety Pack and fully integrated into the Sport (110hp - High), Touring (110hp - Medium) and Urban (75hp - Low) Riding Modes. Preparing the new model for the open road, Ducati has fitted a strong, lightweight and elegantly styled 50 litres of quickly-detachable side-luggage - and offers an extra 31 litre top case as an accessory - with a centre stand for stable parking when fully loaded. With handlebars raised by 20mm (0.78in), a touring screen provides improved wind protection and, with long journey comfort in mind, a special wider touring seat is fitted with thicker foam cushioning for both the rider and passenger and confidence inspiring passenger grab-handles. At 850mm (33.5in), the seat height offers sure-footed confidence when fully loaded with luggage and passenger, with the opportunity to lower it even further with a 20mm lower accessory seat. Two auxiliary 12v power outlets, intended to feed navigation accessories or heated clothing, complete the enhanced specification. The front suspension of the Hyperstrada uses 43mm Kayaba upside-down forks, with a stroke of 150mm (5.9in) and the rear suspension with single Sachs rear shock absorber providing 150mm (5.9in) of rear wheel travel with rebound damping and user-friendly remote hydraulic spring preload adjustment. The full touring trim tips the scales with a dry weight of 181kg (399lb) and rides on Pirelli Scorpion Trail tyres, mounted on 10-spoke 1199 Panigale-style cast aluminium wheels. The Hyperstrada is finished in Ducati red or a sophisticated arctic white against subtle racing grey Trellis frames

2013 Ducati 1199R The 2013 Ducati Superbike family line-up is now completed with the highly-anticipated arrival of the 1199 Panigale R, the absolute flagship of the range and the machine specially developed with enhanced technical specification by Ducati Corse for World Superbike homologation. The exciting “R” model stands alongside the 1199 Panigale and 1199 Panigale S in the new-for-2013 arctic white colour scheme and signature Ducati red, in addition to the exclusive 1199 Panigale S Tricolore. The “R” takes everything that the “S” model is currently equipped with and applies a list of enhancements to the technical specification that enable the model to achieve even greater targets. Titanium con-rods, which save an overall 0.63kg (1.38lb), a 0.7kg (1.54lb) lighter crankshaft flywheel, DLC-coated rocker-arms and revised engine mapping now enhance the Superquadro engine’s crank acceleration and allow it to rev 500rpm higher to a 12,000rpm limit, an incredible engineering achievement for 112mm pistons. The model also features a new 4-point adjustable swingarm pivot, designed to enable riders a personalised and precise set-up and a race kit consisting of high-penetration racing screen, fairing mirror caps in machined alloy and a full Termignoni exhaust system with dedicated ECU mapping (for track use only). The system provides an impressive power increase of 3% at the top of the rev-range and 15% in the mid-range. Additional enhancements to the machine include lightweight carbon fibre rear hugger, rear suspension guard, heels guards, ignition switch surround and top fairing inner panels and carbon fibre protectors for the single-sided swingarm and clutch cover. These lightweight chassis and engine components enable the “R” version a dry weight of just 165kg (363.7lb), even with an ABS braking system fitted as standard equipment. This top-of-the-range model is also fitted with a special race-style seat fabric for added “feel” and equipped with the GPS-enhanced Ducati Data Acquisition system, for automatic lap times and circuit map-linked data. The 1199 Panigale R is dressed in Ducati red with defining white race features, sporting a mix of red and brushed aluminium on the fuel tank with lightweight forged wheels by Marchesini in black.

2013 Diavel Strada A surprise entry for the Diavel family comes in the form of the new Diavel Strada. The sophisticated new model, specifically designed for longer journeys, has been factory-accessorised with touring-friendly components that enable all-day riding comfort for both rider and passenger. Further enhanced with touring comfort and functionality, the carefully designed screen blends effortlessly into the Diavel’s sleek lines to provide improved wind protection, and the rider’s posture is further improved for long-distance with higher handlebars swept back towards the rider and larger, comfort-enhancing seats with revised foam cushioning. The addition of heated grips further underlines the attention given to rider-friendly detail and the higher-output generator that powers them also provides for two handy auxiliary power outlets intended for heated clothing or navigation accessories. The passenger’s ride has also been improved with a ride-relaxing back-rest and confidence-inspiring grab-rails. The Diavel’s desire for touring practicality has been elegantly satisfied with stylishly shaped side luggage, fitted as standard equipment with revised passenger footpegs and rear lighting. The Diavel Strada arrives in an elegant race titanium colour scheme with racing black frame and black wheels and side luggage. In addition to their 2013 models, Ducati also took the occassion of the EICMA International Motorcycle Show to present its brand new A

Company CEO, Gabriele Del Torchio, and General Manager, Claudio Domenicali addressed the world's motorcycle press during a special conference held on the Italian manufacturer's stand at the massive biennial event. "Ducati has entered a new era," said Gabriele Del Torchio, CEO of Ducati. "Being part of such a prominent and significant group as Volkswagen makes us look to the future with confidence and optimism and we are very happy to be here at Intermot with so many new products to present. Despite today's severely shrinking market, Ducati continues to show positive growth, and since 2007 has consistently increased its market share and further strengthened its financial position. 2011 was a record year in the history of Ducati and we expect to continue our growth in 2012. Our 2013 motorcycles, such as the new Multistrada 1200, demonstrate the consistency of our development strategies and today I am especially proud to present our new Monster Anniversary, a celebration of the glorious history of this iconic model in the Ducati family." "Twenty years have passed since the presentation of our first Ducati Monster, right here at Intermot," said Claudio Domenicali, General Manager of Ducati Motor Holding, during the press conference. "This model redefined the parameters of the naked segment and our new Monster Anniversary is dressed in the original livery of that very first version and applied to the whole range of latest-generation Monsters. In addition to the Monster Anniversary, we have brought a number of interesting new products to Cologne. Our new Multistrada 1200 is an evolution of the 4-bikes-in-1 concept and now becomes even more versatile with the introduction of the revolutionary Ducati Skyhook Suspension system. The model also presents a new and improved Testastretta 11° DS engine, with enhanced power delivery and smoother operation, and a re-styled front-end with new LED lighting. We are also presenting brand new colour schemes for the Diavel and the Superbike 848 and 1199 Panigale and Ducatisti here in Cologne have the first chance to see the RS13 version of the 1199 Panigale, now available for teams to prepare their fight for the 2013 Superbike World Championship."

Standing proudly alongside the exclusive Monster Diesel, this bold range of lifestyle motorcycles are dressed in special liveries, revised colour finishes and character-forming features. The innovative Ducati Diavel, which has become one of Ducati's most desired models, rolls into 2013 with an exciting line-up that sees the flagship Diavel Carbon now exclusively in carbon red and the standard Diavel in three stunning new colour versions. The Diavel Dark in matte black with black-finished components and two "street-sport" schemes that introduce metallic blue or Ducati red with stylish white stripes, white wheels and special defining features. The 2013 Ducati Superbike family introduces arctic white versions of the exciting 1199 Panigale and 1199 Panigale S alongside the signature Ducati red, while the 1199 Panigale S Tricolore continues proudly as the flagship of the family.

British rider Kev Coghlan made it onto the Superstock 1000 podium for the first time ever after a truly tough race at the Nurburgring. Throughout the season DMC Racing have been working really hard and the podium seemed to be just a question of time. Despite Coghlan admitting that the Nurburgring has never been his favorite track, the team found settings that were good enough to provide a confident weekend for the rider Scotland. In the race a group of four at the front had pulled out a significant gap, and it looked as if the podium places were to be contested between Barrier, Staring, Guarnoni and La Marra. However one by one, three of the leading pack lost grip and crashed out, starting with La Marra. While the others fell by the wayside, Kev managed to keep it on the black stuff to finish a fantastic second. "The last time I was here was in World Supersport back in 2009 with the Holiday Gym Racing Team," said Coghlan. "In the race I had been trying to put in fast consistent laps to break away from the following pack. La Marra had already fallen, then Guarnoni went, and near the end Staring, leaving me in second place. I had a 1.5 second lead by then so I just had to concentrate on making no mistakes, which was not easy as there was no grip, and I had some big slides on the rear. It's a great confidence boost to get on the podium, and I'm looking forward to the last two races of the season". Last weekend Coghlan was in Russia at the Moscow Raceway to compete in another round of the Russian Superbike championship and he won the race after a battle for the lead with Marko Rohtlaan from Estonia.
