New Ducati 659cc engine energy, torque, servicing

Famous for its 90-degree V-twin engines (L-twins to the Ducatisti) and extra not too long ago its V4 engine, Ducati has now revealed its brand-new single-cylinder engine. Called the Superquadro Mono, it’s derived from the fire-breathing 1285cc mill of the erstwhile Panigale 1299. 

1. Uses desmodromic valves, not typical ones
2. With racing exhaust output rises to 84.5hp, 67Nm
3. 15,000km oil change interval, 30,000km valve clearance interval

Displacing 659cc, the liquid-cooled thumper from Bolgna has a peak output of 77.5hp at 9,750rpm and 63Nm of torque at 8,000rpm. If you determine to slap on the racing exhaust, these figures rise to 84.5hp and 67Nm. Ducati claims that 70 % of the torque is made out there at 3,000 rpm, and it by no means drops under 80 % from 4,500 to the ten,250 rpm redline. 

With a 15,00km interval between periodic companies and 30,000km interval between the dreaded and expensive Desmo service (the place valve clearances are inspected), the Superquadro Mono has the identical intervals because the Multistrada V2’s 937cc mill. Ducati claims that due to the usage of two counterbalancers the vibration stage of the Mono is similar to that of its 90-degree V-twin engines. 

The variety of gears hasn’t been revealed but however Ducati claims this mill’s transmission is modelled on that of the Panigale V4, so presumably will probably be a 6-speed gearbox. It has additionally been talked about {that a} hydraulic clutch will likely be on supply. 

While no particulars have been revealed formally as to what future fashions this new engine will discover a house in, we now have spied a single-cylinder Ducati Hypermotard test mule within the latest previous.
