Ducati twin-cylinder 890cc displacement weighs in at just 54.4 kg
This new V2 engine sees Ducati take yet another innovative step forward with a Euro5+ approved engine that is up to 9kg lighter than the previous Superquadro and approximately 5.8 kg lighter than the Testastretta Evoluzione and the Desmodue that equips the Scrambler.
This means it is a result that allows Ducati designers to engineer bikes that are even lighter as well as more agile, enjoyable and high-performance.
Interestingly, the 90° architecture of the new V2 engine continues the tradition of Ducati sports engines. Slender and with real personality in its tone and delivery, the V configuration of the cylinders also ensures the intrinsic balancing of first order forces, with no need for a countershaft to eliminate vibration.
Thanks to the Intake Variable Timing (IVT) system, the new Ducati twin delivers very linear torque right from low rpm, with a prompt and exciting throttle response, and sports performance at high rpm. This is because the IVT system intervenes by progressively varying the timing of the intake valve control across a 52° range, via a timing actuator on the end of the camshaft.
