REVOLUTION

Slick update of the 848 from Ducati is real touch of class

R-EVO-LUTION: 140bhp 848 EVODUCATI has unveiled its replacement for 848 middleweight machine with the 140bhp 848 EVO but, as these pictures show, the bike retains the gorgeous looks of the outgoing model.

Underneath the Italian designer clothing, however, are some serious design tweaks in the engine department to make this the most powerful supersport bike ever from the Bologna factory.

Headline features for the new bike's motor include a new piston crown, larger throttle bodies, higher compression (from 12:1 to 13.2:1) and twin lambda probes for smoother engine mapping.

These and various other tweaks mean you're looking at figures of 140bhp@10,500rpm and 72.3 lbft@ 9,750rpm.

Impressive

Impressive stuff indeed for a bike that weighs in at just 168kg (claimed).

A steering damper is now standard and the bike comes in a new colour, 'Dark Stealth', with racing black frame and black wheels, as well as the Ducati red with red frame and black wheels offered on the old bike.

The 848 EVO will be available from Ducati Dublin (01-2166840) shortly.
