Both versions roll with a veritable alphabet soup of subsystems that include the Ducati Traction Control system, Wheelie Control, and variable Power Modes. Ride-by-wire throttle control feeds rider demand to the 53 mm throttle bodies with their electronic fuel injection system that manages the intake. That pull-closed system utterly eliminates harmonic valve float during high-rpm operation.
The signature Desmodromic valvetrain replaces the traditional valve springs for a pull-closed cam that provides positive poppet closure for the four-valve heads. A 94 mm bore and 67.5 mm stroke give the two-cylinder lump its 937 cc displacement and sizzlin'-hot 12.6-to-1 compression ratio. It runs in an L-twin configuration (or a 90-degree V if you prefer).
