With the excuse of celebrating its 90th birthday, Ducati does not stop giving us joy. Taking advantage of the pull of World Ducati Week, the new and unexpected Ducati Supersport has not been the only one to make an appearance. A new special edition of the Panigale has burst in with figures of heart attack and with Casey stoner at the controls.

The call, how could it be otherwise, Ducati 1299 Panigale S Anniversary, commemorates the nine decades of history at Borgo Panigale with numbers that even better those of the exclusive Ducati Superleggera: 205 hp brute force and 164 kg dry. Mamma mia!

Limited edition, infinite passion

Externally we can differentiate the Anniversary of the normal Ducati 1299 Panigale S thanks to a specific decoration that combines the official colors of the Italian brand in competition (red, white and black) that contrast with the golden details on the commemorative stickers, the Marchesini rims and the Öhlins suspensions.

The dark touch of the lower area of the fairing is finished off with the use of a swingarm finished in black, an exhaust protector, ignition cover, ignition lock protector, side skirts and chain protector in carbon fiber.

But not only is it a prettier Panigale (still), it is a bike that has been worked hard to achieve absolutely spectacular figures. The weight has been lowered to the extreme and the scale can be stopped in just 164 kg dry (188 kg all filled), thanks to the extensive use of lightweight materials.

Exclusivity and obsession with weight ooze from each angle thanks to looking at the engine covers made in magnesium and the Racing Kit which includes Akrapovic titanium exhaust with carbon finishes. This kit also benefits from new footpegs and a specific license plate holder. Another two kilos of weight have also been lost with the use of a new lithium battery.

The bike's set-up has been changed with some tweaks to the geometries. Steering throw is now 24 degrees and a swingarm four millimeters shorter to make the Ducati 1299 Panigale S Anniversario even faster.

The Anniversary innards are the same as the Panigale S, based on Bosch's impressive IMU, but they get updated. All the electronics have been brought up to date and new adjustments are made to the traction control and the Ducati Wheelie Control which are now called DRC and DWC EVO.

As for the propeller there are no changes, because the 205 hp at 10,500 rpm of the Superquadro twin I think there is more than enough. As with the advanced suspension package, with an Öhlins NIX30 fork at the front and an Öhlins TTX36 monoshock at the rear, both electronically regulated.

As good special edition that it is, it will only be produced 500 units of the Ducati 1299 Panigale S Anniversario, the same as the Superleggera. The numbering of each unit will be laser engraved on the upper triple seatpost.

At the moment there is no official price and it will only be available in the red / black / white combination. Of course, its emissions do not comply with the Euro4 regulations, so it will only be sold during 2017 taking advantage of the moratorium. They are going to fly!
