Built around the Testastretta engine, today's most advanced twin cylinder, the 999S - Italian Superstock champion - possesses the form of a pure sports bike: low, long, and narrow with exciting componentry and a mechanical/technical look. With 136 HP, the 999S combines incredible performance with a linear and tractable power delivery so you are "on the gas sooner" and shift less.
Ducati's experience gained over years of successful racing at the highest levels is evident in the design and technical characteristics of the 999S. Its fully adjustable Öhlins, 43 mm, upside-down fork with low friction TiN treatment and Öhlins rear shock offer an unparalleled Superbike suspension system. An adjustable Öhlins steering damper comes as standard equipment.
The layout of the bike "loads" the front end appropriately for optimum handling without putting excessive weight on the rider's wrists. Furthermore, the 999S strikes a balance between stability and cornering position. It features radial front brake and clutch master cylinders with integrated reservoirs. Their compact design integrates with the fairing allowing an increased steering angle at slower speeds.
