Ducati Australia has announced the RRPs for the new 1299 Panigale models, prior to their arrival in late April/early May.

The 1299 Panigale will retail for $27,990, while the up-spec 1299 Panigale S is $34,990 – both pricing including GST, but excluding relevant on-road costs.

This RRP represents a $1000 increase over the out-going 1199 Panigale, however when considering the new levels of both performance and technology the 1299 Panigale represents amazing value.

Breathtakingly stylish, the new 1299 leaves no room for compromise when it comes to technical excellence. With an unprecedented 116mm bore, the 1285cc Superquadro engine delivers an incredible 144.6Nm of torque and 205hp.

With a dry weight of just 166.5kg, the innovative monocoque chassis now has a steering head angle of 24 degrees to guarantee improved turn-in and increased agility when cornering, while the swingarm pivot is four millimetres lower, improving rear grip.

State of the art electronics ensure maximum performance and safety including the Bosch Inertial Platform for cornering ABS and DTC, Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC), Ducati Quick Shift Up/Down (DQS), full RbW with both Riding and Power modes.

The S version also features semi-active suspension and electronic steering damper controlled by the Öhlins Smart EC system.
