Built around the new Testastretta engine, today's most advanced twin cylinder, the 749S, possesses the form of a pure sports bike: low, long and narrow with exciting components and a mechanical/technical look.
The Ducati 749S/749 introduces a new Testastretta engine and utilizes the same advanced technology found on the Ducati 999.
A shorter 58.8 mm stroke lowers the average speed of the piston for higher performance and improved reliability.
A larger 90 mm bore also allows more space to install large, high performance valves, meaning decreased wear, vibration and mechanical fatigue.
The bottom line: the 749s/749 produces 103 horsepower vs. 97 of its predecessor.
In high performance motorcycles like the Ducati 749S, design is the result of function over form priorities. Its beauty is conveyed through the attention given to each component and detail.
Just as important as the look of the bike is the relationship between the rider and machine.
The riding position of the 749S can be adapted to the ergonomic preferences of the individual rider by way of five-way adjustable foot pegs - unique in the world of motorcycling.
The 749S represents a new vision of the interaction between man, machine and the elements.
