Ducati 1299 Panigale S 2015

Ducati 1299 Panigale S 2015

The Panigale 1299 S is a clear step forward from the old Panigale. Ducati fans who were not entirely satisfied with the previous model may now find their great love in the new machine. The many changes to the bike have made it stronger, faster and also a little more manoeuvrable. Fast and experienced riders who love 2-cylinders have no other choice anyway and will be happy. Traction control, engine electronics to control the engine brake and of course the electronic suspension from Öhlins are really good stuff. But even the new Panigale is not a motorbike with which not so nimble riders will find good times virtually on their own, like in the saddle of a BMW, for example. The Ducati has its own character, which not everyone likes, but which enchants Ducatisti to some extent.

Superb engine

great looks

great electronics package

fast lap times possible for Panigale connoisseurs and pros.

Very strenuous to drive

driving behaviour challenging for hobby pilots
