In 2011, Ducati unveiled the Panigale series and it was a smash hit. From the design to the technology, all were refreshing and we do count the Panigale amongst the most beautiful motorcycles manufactured ever. Last year the motorcycle arrived in the traditional Ducati Red colour but at the 2012 International Motorcycle Show (INTERMOT), the 2013 Panigale line-up has been revealed in a new colour.
For the model year2013, Ducati will offer the Panigale and Panigale S models in popular Arctic White colour, along with the usual Ducati red. Besides the colour, nothing has changed on the 1199, and it once again is available in three variants: Panigale standard, Panigale S and Panigale S Tricolore.

Since nothing has been changed on the 1199 Panigale, this year again it will arrive with Marzocchi’s 50mm aluminum front forks, Sachs rear suspension, a steering damper, Ducati Riding Modes (Race, Sport, Wet), Ducati Traction Control (DTC), Ducati Quick Shift (DQS), Engine Brake Control (EBC), Ride-by-Wire (RbW) and optional ABS.
The 2013 Panigale S is also available with the above mentioned features, but comes with additional features like Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES) with Öhlins electronic 43mm front forks, adjustable Öhlins steering damper, and an Öhlins electronic TTX suspension unit at the rear. Further the S model distinguishes itself with features like lightweight forged and machined Marchesini wheels, a carbon fiber front fender, full LED lighting, and an Aero Kit.
Last but not the least, the S Tricolore model arrives with the most complete set of features, covering all the ones mentioned above. It equips ABS as standard and is available in a Red, White and Green Italian-color paint scheme. The 2013 model also features the new generation DDA+ (Ducati Data Analyzer) with special GPS lap time function, as well as a titanium racing muffler developed by Ducati Performance.
