Engineered by Ducati for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2007 Ducati Superbike 1098 S Tricolore relies on a 1099 cc (67.1 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 160 HP (116.8 kW) at 9,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 122.6 Nm (90.4 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 145.6 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 rpm) and peak power (9,750 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Superbike 1098 S Tricolore measures 171 kg (377 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.94 HP/kg (1.07 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,430 mm (56.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure.
