In 2019 a quarter of a century will have elapsed since the Ducati 916 arrived on the global stage, forever changing the Superbike world. Born from Massimo Tamburini’s sketches, this bike has revolutionized the world of motorcycle design and has made fans fall in love all over the planet. Incredibly innovative in its style, elegance, lightweight and compactness, by many it’s believed to be the sexiest and most iconic bike ever built.
The Ducati 916 wasn’t just a beautiful bike and an enormous sales success. It also won World Superbike championships: the 916 SBK was a force to be reckoned with even as it made its debut in 1994, and the following years saw it win 120 races, 8 constructors’ titles and 6 riders’ titles, four of them with Carl Fogarty. The Englishman has won 55 races with Ducati, of wich 43 riding a Ducati 916 SBK and 996 SBK. “King Carl” and the 916 remain the most successful “couple” in Ducati SBK history.
the Desmosedici Stradale engine as a structural chassis element, is the same as the one on the Panigale
V4 R but differs slightly on account of the lighter, machined sides; these ensure attainment of the
stiffness goals set by Ducati Corse and reduce weight even further. The frame is coupled to an Öhlins
NIX-30 fork, an Öhlins TTX36 rear shock and a steering damper – again Öhlins – all managed by the
Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 control system. This gives the rider access to next-level dynamic bike control,
augmenting on-road safety and shortening on-track lap times.
The “25° Anniversario 916” is built on the mechanics of the Panigale V4 S. This has been upgraded with racing content from the Panigale V4 R such as the Front Frame, designed to Ducati Corse specifications.
acceleration and cornering.
Forged magnesium wheels, a titanium type-approved Akrapovič exhaust and a long list of Ducati Performance components complete the package.
The presentation of the bike was also an occasion of remembrance, honouring Californian Carlin Dunne, the Spider Grips Ducati team rider who recently died at Pikes Peak. Jason Chinnock announced Ducati’s decision to remove the number 5 from selling, the same number that Dunne used to race with. The bike will be auctioned, with proceeds going to a fund-raising effort aimed at providing Carlin’s mother with support.
“I’m thrilled to be here at this event,” stated Carl Fogarty after riding the Panigale V4 25° Anniversario 916 onto the stage at Pebble Beach. “The Ducati 916 gave me some fantastic, unforgettable moments. It played a starring role in my career and in the history of the World Superbike Championship. On the wider motorcycling scene, it set a whole new standard of style and performance. I’m proud to have played a pivotal role in that success story, and equally proud to be here today and celebrate this important anniversary by officially unveiling this breath-taking bike.”
through the corners.
The top-drawer braking system consists of two 330 mm Brembo discs with Brembo Stylema monobloc calipers up front and a single 245 mm disc with a 2-piston caliper at the rear.
The Panigale V4 25° Anniversario 916 will arrive in dealerships starting from October 2019 at a price of 41,900 euro ex-works. That converts at today’s exchange rate to about $67,000 AUD but the Australian retail price is yet to be announced.
