Superquadro

Overview
Tech specs
The most sophisticated Ducati twin in history

Part of Ducati DNA, the twin-cylinder has made an indelible impression amassing multiple on history wins over 30 years of racing. The Superquadro was born with the first 1199 Panigale, before evolving into the 955 cc. Its name derives from the very high bore to stroke ratio that allows the engine to achieve benchmark levels of horsepower. 

Designed for the track, developed for the road.

The Superquadro engine is used as a structural element of the motorcycle, serving as its beating heart. The compact front structure comprises a chill cast aluminium monocoque frame that is affixed to the engine head. Also connected to the engine is the rear single-sided swingarm, for ultimate performance on track and heightened feeling on the road.

Panigale v2 Superquadro Final Edition Streetfighter V2
  • The heart of the Panigale V2 and V2 Final Edition
    Panigale V2 and Panigale V2 Superquadro Final Edition mount the Ducati Superquadro. 955cc displacement is obtained thanks to a bore and stroke of 100 mm x 60.8 mm, measurements that guarantee both rideability and smooth delivery. The compression ratio is 12.5:1. In its Supersport configuration, the Panigale V2 and Superquadro engine have continued to set standards in the production-derived series, scoring the 2023 world title at the hands of Nicolò Bulega.

  • The Streetfighter V2 Superquadro
    The same Panigale V2 engine is also mounted on the stripped Streetfighter V2. On the Streetfighter V2, this is paired with a transmission with shorter final drive ratio (15/45 vs 15/43), for greater torque at the wheel at road-going speeds and better engine response on reopening the throttle.

The ideal blend of power and enjoyment.

The 955 cc Superquadro delivers its 155 hp at 10,750 rpm and torque of 104 Nm at 9,000 rpm. 

The name derives from the high ratio between bore and stroke, which in the 1285 cc displacement has allowed it to deliver an absolute benchmark maximum power value for a twin-cylinder.  

Benchmark power for a twin

The bore to stroke ratio allows the Superquadro to set benchmark levels of horsepower for a twin: 155 hp (114 kW) at 10,750 rpm with maximum torque of 104 Nm at 9000 rpm.

Desmodromic timing

Desmodromic timing sees the adoption of titanium intake valves and “super-finished” rocker arms with DLC coating, born in the aerospace world to reduce friction and fatigue. The combined chain/gear-driven control sets new references in terms of efficiency and reliability. 

Sophisticated and refined technical solutions

The crankcases are the result of Vacural® casting, with aluminium cylinder liners complete with NiKaSil coating that allow the heads to be affixed directly to the crankcases. The cylinder head covers, clutch and oil sump are in magnesium, for an extremely compact and stiff engine

Transmission

Whether up- or down-shifting, the Quick Shifter mounted as standard ensures the ideal support, with no need to use the clutch or close the throttle. 

The perfect travel companion for days of authentic sports riding, and a valuable support when riding in the city. 

Models adopting Superquadro

The Superquadro equips the Panigale V2 and Streetfighter V2 for which it provides a differentiated final ratio (15/45 vs 15/43).
