60,000 km, or 1.5 times the Earth's circumference.
This is the valve clearance check interval. This is the number that confirms the engine’s reliability, robustness, and durability. A figure that means just one thing for the rider - more time to enjoy the road.
The know-how acquired with the desmodromic system, applied to the spring valve train, allows for the valve clearance check interval to be extended to 60,000 km, compared to a segment average of roughly 25,000 km, or less than half.

Up to 170 hp to achieve slick and smooth-running performance on demand. A smooth engine at low speed, great torque at medium speed and sporting spirit at high speed.
The 60,000 km valve clearance adjustment interval is an absolute milestone that raises the standard of reliability and reduces maintenance costs.
Signature twin-pulse firing order and MotoGP derived counter-rotating crankshaft make the new V4 Granturismo engine more Ducati than ever.
The figures relating to the V4 Granturismo engine clearly define its unique character and sports attitude, for smooth and well-balanced delivery across the entire torque curve.
Smooth at low rpm and progressive mid-range, the powerful 170 hp engine boasts maximum torque of almost 13 kgm. Truly thrilling at high rpm. Perfect in all riding conditions.
When it comes to engine design, no detail has been overlooked. Even the gearbox is model-specific, with ratios that make it more versatile. A shorter first gear and longer sixth gear with respect to the Desmosedici Stradale engine allow the bike to adapt to different conditions of use, whether this be off-roading, low-speed manoeuvring, or darting along the highway.
The use of the counter-rotating crankshaft - borrowed from the Desmosedici Stradale - allows for significant reduction of the gyroscopic effect that the wheels have on the vehicle, for improved handling and agility and less pitch in acceleration and braking. This technical choice improves riding safety and comfort during everyday use and when travelling.
