A perfect entry model to the Ducati Superbike family, the 749 Dark stands
out with its totally black colouring giving it a compact and aggressive
look. Ducati’s race-inspired, tubular trellis frame is matched with a front
Showa fork and fully-adjustable rear shock absorber that result in
confidence-inspiring and precise road holding.
With its short-stroke
design and further innovations that extend to the very heart of the motor,
the 749 is never short on power, producing 108 hp at 10,000 rpm and 8.2 kgm
at 8,500 rpm.
By applying the knowledge gained on the racetrack, Ducati engineers have
created our highest performance middleweight Superbike ever, with fully
adjustable suspension, box-section aluminum alloy swingarm, and steering
damper. The 749 is as at home on the road as it is on the track and is
designed to offer an exciting, safe ride whatever the road conditions. A
sleek riding position blends man and machine perfectly.
At 108 hp, the Testastretta provides lightning acceleration out of
corners and incredibly smooth power delivery without putting stress on the
chassis set-up. Excellent torque (8.2 kgm at 8500 rpm), even at very low
rpms, guarantees superb performance while making the motorcycle easy to
handle in heavy traffic.
