NEWS performance , which however would not be possible without the Desmodromic system . This system , which Ducati also uses on the MotoGP bikes , allows the limits imposed by the valve springs to be overcome , enabling extreme valve lift laws . In this way , the Desmodromic system contributes significantly both to performance and to the possibility of reaching very high rotation speeds . Thanks to these solutions , the Superquadro Mono delivers a maximum power of 77.5 hp at 9,750 rpm , and is capable of reaching 10,250 rpm *, values never achieved before by a road single-cylinder . The torque , whose maximum value is 6.4 kgm at 8,000 rpm , is distributed in a particularly favourable manner , resulting in linear and exploitable power delivery . All this while respecting the limits of Euro 5 homologation . In racing configuration with Termignoni exhaust , this single-cylinder is finally able to reach the incredible maximum power value of 84.5 hp at 9,500 rpm .

The Superquadro Mono will also be used on motorcycles for restricted licence holders in a detuned version .
