2010 Ducati Streetfighter models

The Streetfighter's Superbike soul combines fighter attitude and naked sophistication to create pure adrenaline. Stripped to the bare essentials, its combination of state of the art race technology, skeletal styling and contemporary design takes Ducati's big naked concept to the very top of the fighter food chain.

The true Ducati spirit is captured by the powerful Desmodromic L-twin 1098 "Testastretta Evoluzione" engine producing 114kW with an incredibly wide spread of power thanks to 115Nm of torque. The Streetfighter's power is further maximised by weighing in at just 167kg - S version - and further benefits from technology derived directly from Ducati's MotoGP and Superbike projects. Ducati Traction Control and Data Analysis, racing style braking system, fully adjustable suspension and forged wheels all come as standard equipment on the 'S' to complete the battle ready package.

The Ducati Streetfighter is equipped with everything that made the Superbike a legend: L-Twin muscle with brutal, big bore torque, thoroughbred chassis technology, beautiful single sided swingarm, Monobloc brakes and pure, sophisticated class.

While the tank and seat shapes leave no doubt as to the Streetfighter's roots, it is the upright and commanding riding position that really starts to shape the character of this naked. New, minimalistic controls, instrumentation and headlight design leave the front looking clean and mean, while twin stacked right-side mufflers at the rear leave the tail end high and sharp. No other Ducati has ever achieved such an aggressive stance while providing a comfortable, empowering, controllable and enjoyable ride.

Ducati's 'S' treatment of the Streetfighter takes its sophistication to another level. Superbike spec Öhlins suspension front and rear with lightweight forged Marchesini wheels add extra street credibility when in town and that all important 'feel' when exploring the Streetfighter's sports attributes. Add Ducati's Traction Control and Ducati Data Analysis as standard equipment and it's clear that the Streetfighter S is not just muscle - it's intelligent too.

The Streetfighter is armed with fully adjustable 43mm Showa forks up front and a fully adjustable Showa monoshock at the rear, giving the bike high performance agility and the rider absolute 'feel' and confidence from sure footed handling. The Streetfighter S pushes the spec way up with 43mm Superbike spec Öhlins forks that have sliders treated in low friction TiN. Fully adjustable in spring preload and precisely adjustable in compression and rebound damping.

Taking care of the rear of the 'S' is a single high spec Öhlins unit fully adjustable in spring preload with full adjustment and highly engineered control of compression and rebound damping. The unit is also fitted with a ride enhancing top out spring which helps maintain rear tyre contact under extreme conditions.

Both the Streetfighter and Streetfighter S use Brembo's powerful Monobloc calliper race technology. Machined from a single piece of alloy, the callipers achieve higher rigidity and resistance to distortion during extreme braking.

The 1198cc engine is mated to a high performance six-speed box and racing style dry clutch. The engine is protected by twin coolant radiators, carefully curved in a pure naked style.

The Streetfighter S is Ducati's first ever naked sportbike to be fitted with their Ducati Traction Control system.
