(Use Google Translate) (In Italian) Superbike Scoop Ecco la nuova Ducati per Aragon - Corsedimoto http://www.corsedimoto.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/43/2016/03/scarico-nuovo.jpg
There's meant to be motor upgrade for aragon. Hopefully able to keep up with kawas and hondas on the straight.
So, It lookslike its a 2-1-2 setup. Also noticed that the LH silencer, Or should I say - "Larger Dia. Ti pipe, masquerading as a Silencer" appears to have a larger inner piece then the RH one?? Wonder if thats something to do with back pressure ??
The 2-1 setup was all about top end power I believe, the WSBK bikes can be really noisy this year so it's unlikely to be about keeping the decibels down
Same as Shakey's bike. They had it at JHP the other week and the centre section has been lengthened around the under seat fuel tank for more mid range.
So if they (Ducati) are looking at ways to improve the 1199 now 1299, does that mean they are sticking with 1299 for WSBK into 2017 ? The v4 rumours are all hogwash so....lol, or are they!
Has anyone looked closely at the pic of the exhausts? Looks really interesting as it still comes from one exit, but there is a valve in the middle and the second exit is much bigger, it looks like they are using a valve to truly provide a restricted exhaust back pressure at lower rpms and then open up a bigger pipe for high rpm! Pretty cool! Obviously it worked at Aragon also......
