Ducati World Première 2018 - Chat Thread

  1. At a guess they'll be around the M50s price.
     
  2. Marketing ploy....(just turf out a different shape)??
     
  3. Might help reduce fade for serious use with the extra cooling but it's difficult to tell without testing them as you know,

    I'm trying to find out the piston size(s) if anyone has info?
     
  4. Lighter (unsprung mass) and attention to cooling (given you have a smaller heat sink) are positives but not too sure about the reduced amount of fluid in the caliper. The blurb claims more direct application of the lever pressure but to my mind the reduction of the amount of fluid makes what is there easier to boil despite the claims on cooling. The development has to have come from somewhere, perhaps MotoGP ? Hopefully I'll find out in the not too distant future :). Andy

  5. Difficult to see in the arty farty video but all 4 pistons look the same diameter which doesn't look huge, say 34mm ish ? Andy
     


  6. Nice summary on the V4.

  7. Probably me being a little bit cynical.....I do like this time of the year....loads of new hardware coming out and then in turn lots to read about and watch...although its pie in the sky from a cost point of view from me its always nice to meet the new stuff in real life on the mountain TT week.!!

  8. Haha yeah - Brembo do love an arty farty video devoid of usable data!

    You're right they do look the same size, don't know about 34mm though - their recent trend has been to down-size the pistons - their previous version were down to 30mm.
     
  9. Exactly what I was thinking.
     
  10. Bloody knew you'd be after those....:D

  12. First video as far as I can tell



    The offical unveiling including the above video at the end.

     
  13. Nice to see you can listen to mood calming music or take a call as you enjoy your leisurely 226BHP, 281Kmh blat to Loomies for a burger :yum

  14. Is it me or does the V4 Fatti-gale look a bit NR750/VFR from the side? (In red).

  16. I'd have said the NR750 was more Desmocedici D16RR :). Andy
     
  17. Was looking at a Pani Air box/frame at Chris’s Shop in Suffolk earlier in year. It had been sprayed magnesium colour. Yours perchance?
     
  18. Unlikely as I had it eventually Cerakoted in Sussex as opposed to straight paint. Prior to coating it, however, the airbox was briefly at Carl Harrison's in January after the initial paintwork went wrong and I had to then have it stripped back to bare metal, before settling on Cerakoting it (which I should have done from the outset. Expensive but worth every penny). Not sure who or where Chris's shop is in Suffolk.
