The Superquadro Is The Legacy of Ducati's Heartbeat

The Superquadro engine was a groundbreaking design that set new standards for motorcycle twin-cylinder performance

The Ducati Superquadro isn’t just an engine. It’s an Italian stallion trapped in a metal beast. It’s a masterpiece, 90-degree L-twin powerplant producing a symphony of engineering that’s been with the Ducati riders for years. Patterned on the 1199 Panigale, the Superquadro quickly became the benchmark for twin-cylinder performance.

Ducati has been tinkering with this masterpiece, creating different versions for different riders. From the track-day demon 1285cc to the street-friendly 955cc, there’s a Superquadro for everyone.

Maybe you’re wondering why this engine is so special. Firstly, it has a compact design making it lightweight. Secondly, it has a superb cooling system despite its compactness. Lastly, groundbreaking design was introduced in 2011 making it a new standard for twin-cylinder.

Sadly, it will no longer go on a production design for any of the models. But the Superquadro is bowing out with the Panigale V2 Superquadro Final Edition. This will be a fitting farewell to a legendary powerplant. It marks a celebration of its incredible journey that has taken riders to fulfilling heights.
