2011 New Ducati 848 EVO Superbike First Ride Photo Gallery

The motousa.com said that, Ducati claims that the 2011 848 EVO’s dry weight remains the same which should mean that the bike will weigh very close to 420 pounds with a full tank of fuel. The road holding capabilities of Pirelli’s Diablo Supercorsa SP rubber is absolutely amazing. This is what full-on DOT race tires felt like just a few years ago.Bottom and mid-range power felt roughly the same as before however there is a significant boost in top-end performance.One of the biggest attributes of Ducati sportbikes is the chassis which provides near perfect amount of flex allowing the rider to comfortably flirt with adhesion limits through corners. the 848 EVO Superbike continues to come outfitted with a passenger seat.A non-adjustable steering damper is mounted horizontally between the fuel tank and triple clamp. This reduces head shake during hard acceleration over rough surfaces.The 848 EVO Superbike receives the same monobloc Brembos as used on the 1198 and Desmosedici D16RR.
