the colors of the 1299 panigale s anniversario take their influence from those of traditional ducati race bikes. the white, black and red fairing are a noticeable match with the marchesini gold wheel rims. this celebratory ensemble expresses all of the passion and the striving for performance that has characterized the company’s 90-year history. it features the 205 hp superquadro 1285 cc engine, providing the perfect platform from which to unleash its incredible 205hp power. the twin-cylinder superquadro also features engine brake control (EBC) which optimises vehicle stability under extreme turn-in conditions, ensuring the highest level of riding precision.
