Design strategy
“Reduce to the Max” (2006):
Any new DUCATI should be:
1. Authentic: only true features should be present
2. Clean and essential: all it is not necessary is not present
3. Small: looking light, also. Short, from nose to tail and slim, from
side to side.
4. Sexy, attractive
5. Exclusive
6. Racing oriented
Ducati is pure sporty Italian emotion.

Product Brief
“Panigale is a bike with no compromise, aggressive and sexy but at the
same time simple and without unnecessary frills…
…It has to be the lightest and fastest sport bike in motorcycle industry
worldwide. The main focus of the project is weight in terms of
exasperated search of maximum lightness in each component…
…It is the most advanced product of Ducati which has sportiness in its
DNA. Absolute performance, advanced technology, design that leaves
you breathless. The Panigale therefore represents a business card and
an icon of sportiness, style and talent all Italian.”

Chassis – Technical approval procedure
Part testing:
• Dimensional analysis
• Material characterization
• Surface finish testing: salt spray, adhesion, etc.
• Stiffness measurement: front frame, swing arm
• Drum test bench: frame, swing arm, suspension
• Front fatigue test bench: front frame
Full vehicle testing:
• MTS two post test rig: full vehicle
• Nardò ring test
• Track test
• Long distance test (road)
25
Experimental measurement of frame stiffness:

Drum test bench
Front fatigue test bench
MTS two post test rig

Full vehicle testing both on tracks and on roads:
Track test
Nardò ring test
Long distance test

Conclusions
New product development is a very complex process that
requires the perfect integration of many departments:
• Ducati Design Centre
• Vehicle Design Department
• Vehicle Testing Department
• etc.
It has to fulfil various conflicting constraints:
• Time
• Costs
• Technical performances
• Style
• etc.
Panigale was a very challenging project that has generated
a cutting edge and revolutionary product.
