2020 Debuts Slated for “The Motorcycle Shows” in Canada

Streetfighter V4 S ($27,995 CAD MSRP / Available April 2020) – The long-awaited Streetfighter V4 is finally here. A Panigale V4 stripped of its fairings and equipped with high, wide handlebars, the Streetfighter is powered by a 1103 cc Desmosedici Stradale engine that pumps out 208 horsepower, harnessed in part by biplane aerofoils and the latest-generation electronics package: a combination of factors and modifications Ducati calls the “Fight Formula.” The result is an over-the-top naked Ducati, modern and technological, with an assertively eye-catching design. It’s a bike that does nothing to hide its segment-leading performance and ensures practicality and full-on fun during everyday rides. The “S” version of the Streetfighter V4 features Marchesini forged wheels and Öhlins electrically controlled suspension.

Panigale V4 S ($32,295 CAD MSRP / Available February 2020) – This Panigale V4 is the benchmark for V4 superbike performance and now it’s equipped with technology and performance taken from the V4 R, starting with the aero pack: aerofoils, Plexiglas screen, nose fairing, larger lateral fairings and more efficient side vents for radiator through-air. This provides better airflow protection and improves overall vehicle stability, enhancing confidence. Also updated is the Front Frame, with modified stiffness to give better front-end ‘feel’ at extreme lean angles. Thanks to a new ‘predictive’ control strategy, Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO 2 significantly improves out-of-the-corner power control; Ducati Quick Shift up/down (DQS) EVO 2 also shortens up-shift times and allows sportier high-rev gear shifts (over 10,000 rpm) and boosts shift stability during aggressive acceleration and cornering. The “S” version comes with upgraded features including Öhlins suspension, Marchesini forged aluminum wheels in total black, a Lithium-ion battery and sport grips.

Panigale V2 ($18,995 CAD MSRP / January 2020) – The new twin-cylinder Panigale has a completely new look and new name – the Panigale V2. Unique from the 959 Panigale, the new Panigale V2 features a single-sided aluminum swingarm, the hallmark of every high-end sport Ducati. Gently molded around the refined monocoque frame, the extensive fairing highlights the more compact twin-cylinder Superquadro engine (smaller in comparison to the Desmosedici Stradale), creating a bike that is visibly leaner and less intimidating than the Panigale V4. It also features sophisticated Inertial Platform-based electronics and, thanks also to a comfortable seat and its suspension set-up, better yet safer sports performance. The Panigale V2 is powered by the 995 cc Superquadro engine with 155 hp.

Multistrada 1260 S Grand Tour ($25,895 CAD MSRP / January 2020) – The 2020 Multistrada family has a new member: the Grand Tour, a special version of the 1260 S, specifically designed for those who want to eat up miles in maximum comfort. It has a dedicated color scheme combining stylish matte Sandstone Grey and an assertive Ducati Red wheel and fairing as well as a painted frame contrasting perfectly with the grey superstructure. As the name suggests, the Multistrada 1260 S Grand Tour was designed for serious travelling and features center stand, panniers and a dedicated seat with Grand Tour logo as standard. To keep even the most demanding adventurers comfortable it comes with heated grips, additional LED lights, a hands free gas cap and tire pressure monitoring sensor on the dashboard display.

Scrambler Icon Dark ($10,495 CAD MSRP / April 2020) – The Ducati Scrambler family is now complete thanks to the arrival of a version that best represents the essentials of this iconic motorcycle: two wheels, a wide handlebar, a great engine and a ton of fun. It’s called the Ducati Scrambler Icon Dark, and it’s the gateway to the “800” model range. The Scrambler Icon Dark represents the perfect starting point for personalization thanks to the wide range of original accessories that suit the “Matte Black” color of the tank and fenders, just like the extensive catalog of apparel available in the Scrambler world.

Monster 1200 S “Black on Black” ($20,395 CAD MSRP / January 2020) – When Ducati designers started working on the Monster 1200, they drew their inspiration from the basics behind that groundbreaking 1993 model: the concept of a “sport naked bike.” New for Model Year 2020, the Monster 1200 S is now available in “Black on Black” livery, which alternates parts in glossy black and matte black. The new color combines sportiness – underlined by the bright red touch on the wheels – and the elegance of black, always synonymous with the Monster family. The 2020 Monster 1200 features a powerful 1,198 cc Testastretta 11° DS engine churning out 150 hp at 9,250 rpm and, unique to the “S” version, upgraded Öhlins suspension and Brembo disc brakes.

Diavel 1260 S ($26,695 CAD MSRP / February 2020) – Unconventional, unique and unmistakable, the second-generation Diavel 1260 remains faithful to the original spirit of this incredibly special bike, drawing on its key styling elements and putting a decidedly more contemporary slant. A striking new red color for 2020 makes the Diavel 1260 a stunning addition to Ducati’s new collection. Its Testastretta DVT 1262 engine is capable of delivering 159 horsepower at 9,500 rpm. The bike also includes an upgraded chassis to make it more responsive on mixed-road routes. The S version also features fully adjustable Öhlins suspension, dedicated wheels, and an even higher-performance braking system, with Ducati Quick Shift up & down Evo (DQS) as standard to allow clutchless shifting.

STACYC introduced its patented electric balance bikes three years ago this Christmas. CEO and Co-Founder Ryan Ragland initially built the first STACYC for his son, Robby.

 

The bike’s development was purely just a dad looking for a way to share his love for riding with his two-year-old.

 

As a former racer and R&D leader at KTM North America, Ryan had plenty of experience building motorcycles, so nothing could get in the way of destiny.

British Superbike: Paul Bird Motorsport Signs VisionTrack As Title Sponsor

VisionTrack To Partner PBM Ducati In 2020

Reigning Bennetts British Superbike champions, Paul Bird Motorsport, are delighted to announce  that multi-award winning video-telematics provider VisionTrack will take over as title sponsors for the Penrith-based team in 2020.

Based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, VisionTrack has amassed 17 technology, innovation and fleet awards since its inception in 2016 and has become Europe’s leading cloud-based Video Telematics and Industrial IoT solution provider, with many of the largest fleets internationally utilising their technology.

VisionTrack is part of a group with a turnover in excess of £2 billion and employing over 4,500 staff, with offices throughout Europe. The company’s innovative products and technology deliver a range of benefits, including visual insights into driver behaviour and significant reductions in incidents and insurance claims, whilst improving visibility and reducing fuel costs.

Having re-signed 2015 BSB champion and runner-up in the 2019 Bennetts British Superbike Championship Josh Brookes, who will team up with the experienced Christian Iddon, both riders will have a 2020 VisionTrack Ducati Panigale V4 R at their disposal for the 27-race series.

An ultra-successful season in 2019 saw the team win their seventh BSB title with rookie Scott Redding being crowned champion just five points ahead of Brookes who between them won 21 of the 27 races to end up 1-2 in the standings.

In recognition of the accomplishment, team boss Paul Bird was honoured by the team behind the design and development of the machine including Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali, Ducati Corse General Manager Gigi Dall’Igna and Ducati Corse Sporting Director Paolo Ciabatti at their Bologna headquarters this week for his team’s outstanding performance during the past four years. During that time, they have clinched three titles and won 40 races.

The 12 round Bennetts BSB series commences at Silverstone on April 10/12th next year.

Simon Marsh, Managing Director, VisionTrack: “Being massive supporters of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship, the opportunity to join the most successful team in the history of the series was too good to pass by, so we are delighted to be teaming up with Paul Bird Motorsport. We are a rapidly growing company and we look forward to the exposure both trackside and on TV, with the VisionTrack Ducati riders hopefully leading from the front again, which makes it a perfect match and partnership for 2020.”

Paul Bird, Team Owner: “We are delighted to welcome Simon and the rest of the VisionTrack team to PBM Ducati for the 2020 season, we hope to continue our success with them on board. There’s a lot of pressure on us to deliver again after such a successful season in 2019 but we have the riders, the bikes, the team and importantly, the commercial partners to allow us to do that. We are now focussing on our pre-season test schedule to ensure we arrive at Silverstone in shape to defend our title.”

British Superbike: Ducati Presented With 2019 Manufacturer Trophy

Ducati presented with 2019 Winning Manufacturer trophy in Bologna

Ducati were presented with the 2019 Bennetts British Superbike Championship Winning Manufacturer trophy at their factory in Bologna this week, the home of where the Ducati V4 was developed by the Italian manufacturer, marking a tenth British title win in the series delivered by the PBM team this season.

In its first campaign in the Championship, Ducati’s newest Superbike celebrated an impressive debut, claiming the top three positions in the overall championship standings as Scott Redding sealed a debut British title ahead of Josh Brookes and Tommy Bridewell. The consistent performances from both the championship-winning Be Wiser PBM Ducati and Oxford Racing Ducati teams saw the new V4 achieve a total of 22 wins, 17 second places and 17 third places across the season.

In recognition of the accomplishment, the trophy was presented by Series Director Stuart Higgs to the team behind the design and development of the machine including Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali, Ducati Corse General Manager Gigi Dall’Igna and Ducati Corse Sporting Director Paolo Ciabatti.

The 2019 title-winning success for Ducati is the tenth victory for the Italian manufacturer since the British Championship began in its current guise in 1996. The first came for the popular Ducati 996 in the hands of Troy Bayliss, the Australian making his mark in the British Championship before progressing to the world stage with Ducati before claiming World Championship success. Ducati then maintained their position at the top of the British Championship for a further four seasons with Neil Hodgson in 2000, who also moved to represent Ducati in World Championship action and became a title-winner in WSBK.

John Reynolds maintained the Ducati momentum in Britain during the 2001 campaign, claiming the title before Steve Hislop added to his British title success in 2002 onboard the 998 model, with Shane ‘Shakey’ Byrne sealing his first title in 2003. The Ducati 999 was then the latest evolution of the Ducati Superbike, and in the hands of Gregorio Lavilla, lifted the 2005 British crown. Ducati and Byrne were victorious again in 2008 and then together claimed incredible consecutive title wins for the Panigale R in 2016 and 2017 with PBM, before injury ended his 2018 fight for the hat trick of championship wins prematurely.

This season the all-new Panigale V4 R proved to be another weapon on track for Ducati, delivering one of their strongest performances in the history of the series and the trophy arrived in Italy to mark the celebration, which further confirmed PBM’s position as the most successful team in the Championship.

Bennetts British Superbike Championship Series Director Stuart Higgs commented: “The Ducati story in BSB is unsurpassed with success spanning over twenty years, with some of the best riders to ever grace the championship. It was very rewarding to hear first-hand from the Ducati Executive group the high regard that BSB is held by them.”

Claudio Domenicali, Ducati Motor Holding CEO, commented: “We are extremely pleased to receive this trophy to celebrate a fantastic debut season for the new Panigale V4 in such a competitive championship as BSB, and want to take this opportunity also to thank Paul Bird of the Be Wiser PBM Ducati Team and Steve Moore of Oxford Racing Ducati for their efforts and great support, that allowed Ducati to achieve the top three position in the final standings of the series”.

It was very rewarding to hear first-hand from the Ducati Executive group the high regard that BSB is held by them.”

Claudio Domenicali, Ducati Motor Holding CEO, commented: “We are extremely pleased to receive this trophy to celebrate a fantastic debut season for the new Panigale V4 in such a competitive championship as BSB, and want to take this opportunity also to thank Paul Bird of the Be Wiser PBM Ducati Team and Steve Moore of Oxford Racing Ducati for their efforts and great support, that allowed Ducati to achieve the top three positions in the final standings of the series.”

2020 Debuts Slated for “The Motorcycle Shows” in Canada

Streetfighter V4 S ($27,995 CAD MSRP / Available April 2020) – The long-awaited Streetfighter V4 is finally here. A Panigale V4 stripped of its fairings and equipped with high, wide handlebars, the Streetfighter is powered by a 1103 cc Desmosedici Stradale engine that pumps out 208 horsepower, harnessed in part by biplane aerofoils and the latest-generation electronics package: a combination of factors and modifications Ducati calls the “Fight Formula.” The result is an over-the-top naked Ducati, modern and technological, with an assertively eye-catching design. It’s a bike that does nothing to hide its segment-leading performance and ensures practicality and full-on fun during everyday rides. The “S” version of the Streetfighter V4 features Marchesini forged wheels and Öhlins electrically controlled suspension.

Panigale V4 S ($32,295 CAD MSRP / Available February 2020) – This Panigale V4 is the benchmark for V4 superbike performance and now it’s equipped with technology and performance taken from the V4 R, starting with the aero pack: aerofoils, Plexiglas screen, nose fairing, larger lateral fairings and more efficient side vents for radiator through-air. This provides better airflow protection and improves overall vehicle stability, enhancing confidence. Also updated is the Front Frame, with modified stiffness to give better front-end ‘feel’ at extreme lean angles. Thanks to a new ‘predictive’ control strategy, Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO 2 significantly improves out-of-the-corner power control; Ducati Quick Shift up/down (DQS) EVO 2 also shortens up-shift times and allows sportier high-rev gear shifts (over 10,000 rpm) and boosts shift stability during aggressive acceleration and cornering. The “S” version comes with upgraded features including Öhlins suspension, Marchesini forged aluminum wheels in total black, a Lithium-ion battery and sport grips.

Panigale V2 ($18,995 CAD MSRP / January 2020) – The new twin-cylinder Panigale has a completely new look and new name – the Panigale V2. Unique from the 959 Panigale, the new Panigale V2 features a single-sided aluminum swingarm, the hallmark of every high-end sport Ducati. Gently molded around the refined monocoque frame, the extensive fairing highlights the more compact twin-cylinder Superquadro engine (smaller in comparison to the Desmosedici Stradale), creating a bike that is visibly leaner and less intimidating than the Panigale V4. It also features sophisticated Inertial Platform-based electronics and, thanks also to a comfortable seat and its suspension set-up, better yet safer sports performance. The Panigale V2 is powered by the 995 cc Superquadro engine with 155 hp.

Multistrada 1260 S Grand Tour ($25,895 CAD MSRP / January 2020) – The 2020 Multistrada family has a new member: the Grand Tour, a special version of the 1260 S, specifically designed for those who want to eat up miles in maximum comfort. It has a dedicated color scheme combining stylish matte Sandstone Grey and an assertive Ducati Red wheel and fairing as well as a painted frame contrasting perfectly with the grey superstructure. As the name suggests, the Multistrada 1260 S Grand Tour was designed for serious travelling and features center stand, panniers and a dedicated seat with Grand Tour logo as standard. To keep even the most demanding adventurers comfortable it comes with heated grips, additional LED lights, a hands free gas cap and tire pressure monitoring sensor on the dashboard display.

Scrambler Icon Dark ($10,495 CAD MSRP / April 2020) – The Ducati Scrambler family is now complete thanks to the arrival of a version that best represents the essentials of this iconic motorcycle: two wheels, a wide handlebar, a great engine and a ton of fun. It’s called the Ducati Scrambler Icon Dark, and it’s the gateway to the “800” model range. The Scrambler Icon Dark represents the perfect starting point for personalization thanks to the wide range of original accessories that suit the “Matte Black” color of the tank and fenders, just like the extensive catalog of apparel available in the Scrambler world.

Monster 1200 S “Black on Black” ($20,395 CAD MSRP / January 2020) – When Ducati designers started working on the Monster 1200, they drew their inspiration from the basics behind that groundbreaking 1993 model: the concept of a “sport naked bike.” New for Model Year 2020, the Monster 1200 S is now available in “Black on Black” livery, which alternates parts in glossy black and matte black. The new color combines sportiness – underlined by the bright red touch on the wheels – and the elegance of black, always synonymous with the Monster family. The 2020 Monster 1200 features a powerful 1,198 cc Testastretta 11° DS engine churning out 150 hp at 9,250 rpm and, unique to the “S” version, upgraded Öhlins suspension and Brembo disc brakes.

Diavel 1260 S ($26,695 CAD MSRP / February 2020) – Unconventional, unique and unmistakable, the second-generation Diavel 1260 remains faithful to the original spirit of this incredibly special bike, drawing on its key styling elements and putting a decidedly more contemporary slant. A striking new red color for 2020 makes the Diavel 1260 a stunning addition to Ducati’s new collection. Its Testastretta DVT 1262 engine is capable of delivering 159 horsepower at 9,500 rpm. The bike also includes an upgraded chassis to make it more responsive on mixed-road routes. The S version also features fully adjustable Öhlins suspension, dedicated wheels, and an even higher-performance braking system, with Ducati Quick Shift up & down Evo (DQS) as standard to allow clutchless shifting.

STACYC introduced its patented electric balance bikes three years ago this Christmas. CEO and Co-Founder Ryan Ragland initially built the first STACYC for his son, Robby.

 

The bike’s development was purely just a dad looking for a way to share his love for riding with his two-year-old.

 

As a former racer and R&D leader at KTM North America, Ryan had plenty of experience building motorcycles, so nothing could get in the way of destiny.

VisionTrack To Partner PBM Ducati In 2020

Reigning Bennetts British Superbike champions, Paul Bird Motorsport, are delighted to announce  that multi-award winning video-telematics provider VisionTrack will take over as title sponsors for the Penrith-based team in 2020.

Based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, VisionTrack has amassed 17 technology, innovation and fleet awards since its inception in 2016 and has become Europe’s leading cloud-based Video Telematics and Industrial IoT solution provider, with many of the largest fleets internationally utilising their technology.

VisionTrack is part of a group with a turnover in excess of £2 billion and employing over 4,500 staff, with offices throughout Europe. The company’s innovative products and technology deliver a range of benefits, including visual insights into driver behaviour and significant reductions in incidents and insurance claims, whilst improving visibility and reducing fuel costs.

Having re-signed 2015 BSB champion and runner-up in the 2019 Bennetts British Superbike Championship Josh Brookes, who will team up with the experienced Christian Iddon, both riders will have a 2020 VisionTrack Ducati Panigale V4 R at their disposal for the 27-race series.

An ultra-successful season in 2019 saw the team win their seventh BSB title with rookie Scott Redding being crowned champion just five points ahead of Brookes who between them won 21 of the 27 races to end up 1-2 in the standings.

In recognition of the accomplishment, team boss Paul Bird was honoured by the team behind the design and development of the machine including Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali, Ducati Corse General Manager Gigi Dall’Igna and Ducati Corse Sporting Director Paolo Ciabatti at their Bologna headquarters this week for his team’s outstanding performance during the past four years. During that time, they have clinched three titles and won 40 races.

The 12 round Bennetts BSB series commences at Silverstone on April 10/12th next year.

Simon Marsh, Managing Director, VisionTrack: “Being massive supporters of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship, the opportunity to join the most successful team in the history of the series was too good to pass by, so we are delighted to be teaming up with Paul Bird Motorsport. We are a rapidly growing company and we look forward to the exposure both trackside and on TV, with the VisionTrack Ducati riders hopefully leading from the front again, which makes it a perfect match and partnership for 2020.”

Paul Bird, Team Owner: “We are delighted to welcome Simon and the rest of the VisionTrack team to PBM Ducati for the 2020 season, we hope to continue our success with them on board. There’s a lot of pressure on us to deliver again after such a successful season in 2019 but we have the riders, the bikes, the team and importantly, the commercial partners to allow us to do that. We are now focussing on our pre-season test schedule to ensure we arrive at Silverstone in shape to defend our title.”

Ducati presented with 2019 Winning Manufacturer trophy in Bologna

Ducati were presented with the 2019 Bennetts British Superbike Championship Winning Manufacturer trophy at their factory in Bologna this week, the home of where the Ducati V4 was developed by the Italian manufacturer, marking a tenth British title win in the series delivered by the PBM team this season.

In its first campaign in the Championship, Ducati’s newest Superbike celebrated an impressive debut, claiming the top three positions in the overall championship standings as Scott Redding sealed a debut British title ahead of Josh Brookes and Tommy Bridewell. The consistent performances from both the championship-winning Be Wiser PBM Ducati and Oxford Racing Ducati teams saw the new V4 achieve a total of 22 wins, 17 second places and 17 third places across the season.

In recognition of the accomplishment, the trophy was presented by Series Director Stuart Higgs to the team behind the design and development of the machine including Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali, Ducati Corse General Manager Gigi Dall’Igna and Ducati Corse Sporting Director Paolo Ciabatti.

The 2019 title-winning success for Ducati is the tenth victory for the Italian manufacturer since the British Championship began in its current guise in 1996. The first came for the popular Ducati 996 in the hands of Troy Bayliss, the Australian making his mark in the British Championship before progressing to the world stage with Ducati before claiming World Championship success. Ducati then maintained their position at the top of the British Championship for a further four seasons with Neil Hodgson in 2000, who also moved to represent Ducati in World Championship action and became a title-winner in WSBK.

John Reynolds maintained the Ducati momentum in Britain during the 2001 campaign, claiming the title before Steve Hislop added to his British title success in 2002 onboard the 998 model, with Shane ‘Shakey’ Byrne sealing his first title in 2003. The Ducati 999 was then the latest evolution of the Ducati Superbike, and in the hands of Gregorio Lavilla, lifted the 2005 British crown. Ducati and Byrne were victorious again in 2008 and then together claimed incredible consecutive title wins for the Panigale R in 2016 and 2017 with PBM, before injury ended his 2018 fight for the hat trick of championship wins prematurely.

This season the all-new Panigale V4 R proved to be another weapon on track for Ducati, delivering one of their strongest performances in the history of the series and the trophy arrived in Italy to mark the celebration, which further confirmed PBM’s position as the most successful team in the Championship.

Bennetts British Superbike Championship Series Director Stuart Higgs commented: “The Ducati story in BSB is unsurpassed with success spanning over twenty years, with some of the best riders to ever grace the championship. It was very rewarding to hear first-hand from the Ducati Executive group the high regard that BSB is held by them.”

Claudio Domenicali, Ducati Motor Holding CEO, commented: “We are extremely pleased to receive this trophy to celebrate a fantastic debut season for the new Panigale V4 in such a competitive championship as BSB, and want to take this opportunity also to thank Paul Bird of the Be Wiser PBM Ducati Team and Steve Moore of Oxford Racing Ducati for their efforts and great support, that allowed Ducati to achieve the top three position in the final standings of the series”.
