TRAVERSE 192
Ducati ' s Super Single
Ducati has returned to producing a road singlecylinder , 30 years after the legendary Supermono 550 . It is called Superquadro Mono , has a displacement of 659 cc , is equipped with a Desmodromic system and sets itself as the new benchmark in the category in terms of performance .
This single-cylinder , designed by choosing refined materials and solutions for each component , is based on the Panigale 1299 engine , the 1285 cc Superquadro , which represents the maximum evolution of the Ducati streetlegal twin-cylinder . The Superquadro Mono inherits the
116 mm diameter piston from the Panigale engine , the shape of the combustion chamber , the 46.8 mm diameter titanium intake valves , the 38.2 mm steel exhaust valves and the Desmodromic system .
The name Superquadro comes from the extreme ratio between bore and stroke which allows , thanks to the very short stroke , to reach rotation speeds typical of racing engines . On the Superquadro Mono this ratio is equal to 1.86 and is the most extreme in the category thanks to a stroke of just 62.4 mm . The record bore of 116 mm allows the adoption of large diameter valves to benefit
