Ducati celebrates its 200th win in the
World Superbike Championship with a limited edition production run of 200
special versions of the Ducati 999R in the official livery of Team Ducati Fila
2003.
Combining technology and innovative design, top level components, sophisticated
aerodynamics and a winning tradition, the 999R FILA offers all "ducatisti" the
chance to experience the same emotions as Ducati factory riders on the track.
Ducati began its incredible World Superbike winning streak in 1988: currently 18
riders have taken the highest spot on the podium thanks to a Ducati race-bike.
The 200th win for Ducati was achieved by British rider Neil Hodgson
on May 18th, 2003 at the Monza circuit on a Ducati 999F03.
The 999R FILA comes in exactly the same colour
scheme as the Ducati 999F03 raced in the World Superbike Championship. The
Ducati-Fila clothing collection also reflects the great sporting tradition of
these two legendary Italian brands.
Ducati and Fila: a partnership exemplifying the best of technological innovation
and Italian style.

999R Fila Styling
This model has the same design as the 999, but all the bodywork parts are
formed from exotic carbon fiber. The choice of carbon fiber is part of the
specific effort to reduce weight, which also led to the adoption of
magnesium for several components, including the front headlight support. To
finish off the exclusive design of the 999R Fila there is a limited edition
numbered plate, affixed to the top triple clamp.
Chassis
True to its racing inspired origins, the 999R Fila is fitted with the
bestpossible components. The Marchesini wheels are made from forged aluminum
alloy. This is the same process used in the production of racing wheels,
creating a wheel of higher torsional rigidity and lower weight. The wheels
on the 999R Fila 2004 weigh 3.2 kilos less than those of the 999 and 999S,
and one kilo less than the previous R series model. This means a marked
reduction in the un-sprung weight and the moment of inertia, which improves
handling.
Like the wheels, the brake and suspension systems are top-of-the-line race
quality products. The brake system consists of discs mounted further outward
for better cooling, radial mounted four piston/four pad brake calipers, and
brake master cylinders with an integrated reservoir. The rear shock absorber
and fork are by Öhlins, adjustable for pre-load, plus rebound and
compression damping. The 43-millimeter diameter fork stanchions have a
titanium-nitride treatment for improved suspension. This model also comes
equipped with a fully adjustable Öhlins steering damper.
