Customer ServicesAs of December 2019, the Ducati Memorabilia project will be giving, for the first time, fans of the Bologna-based bike manufacturer the chance to purchase certified parts from bikes used in recent years by MotoGP and Superbike team riders.
Authentic items that were part of the engines on the bikes of great Ducati riders like Andrea Dovizioso and Cal Crutchlow, parts such as the piston rod, piston, camshaft and crankshaft. The items that narrate an adrenergic history of successes and capable of making hearts race are now available to the most demanding collectors.
Every single memorabilia is packaged in an elegant box and accompanied by its certificate of authenticity signed by Claudio Domenicali and Gigi Dall'Igna.
The memorabilia will be available for purchase at Ducati dealerships. Each piece will come protected and enhanced by a plexiglass case, with the engraving of the part’s name and the bike where it comes from, together with the certificate of authenticity.
The availability of pieces is extremely limited, an unmissable opportunity for everyone, whether Ducatista or not.
Locate your nearest Ducati dealer now to check the availability of pieces an d remain updated about upcoming items of memorabilia.
The camshafts of the Ducati desmodromic engines are details of great technical merit and their realization is extremely complex due to the presence of two strictly conjugated lobes for each valve.

The two lobes respectively take care of guiding the valve during the opening and closing movement, thus obtaining at any time precise control over its position and the application of particularly high lift laws that result in high engine performance. The maximum accelerations to which the intake crews are subjected are 3.2 * 104 m / s2 (square meters per second).

Ducati crankshafts are made of high alloy steel using sophisticated technological processes. In particular, the long nitriding cycles to which they are subjected allow excellent mechanical characteristics to be obtained.

Ducati crankshafts are made of special steel alloy and realized using cutting-edge manufacturing processes. More specifically, they undergo long nitriding heat treatments, giving them outstanding mechanical characteristics. During operation the crankshaft has to perform at speeds over 17,000 rpm. The angle between the two crank throws is 70°, geometry used later in the Desmosedici Stradale engine of the Panigale V4.

It can be said that, of the entire engine, the piston is undoubtedly the most stressed component. During the race it is subject to pressures exceeding 100 bar inside the combustion chamber, moving at an average speed of over 27.5 m/s. The piston itself weights 0.34 lb
