2017 Ducati 1299 Superleggera Dyno break in 

The pistons don't know that.

Not too bad for h2r it's a 998 cc in line four supercharged engine has 326 hp and 0 to 400 km in26 sec . Ducati is 1299 cc and don't get wrong even it cant match the legend ZX10R 998 cc 210 hp and freaking Godzilla gone wild exuast and performance top speed 350+ 3 times less expensive than Ducati Japanese know how to make rocket

Bro u should compare it with zx14r. It also doesn't have supercharger. If it had then it would have touched 420 or 450 kmph.

LOL

because he was valentino rossi coach

Haha, thanks Michael... the funny thing is that it's being broken in by a trained professional using Ducati's dyno break in procedure. What these folks don't understand (but still love to comment), is that a Panigale engine is a race engine and is not broken in the same way as a street engine. What is in the manual is for the average consumer doing a break in on the highway. When breaking in a racing engine on a dyno, in a controlled environment, you do it as shown.

Haha yeah, the difference definitely doesn't justify the money. But the cost is due to limited production run and materials. In other words, you're not only paying $55K extra for 23 pounds less weight and 10 hp more, but rather for the fact that most of the bike is carbon fiber and the thing is numbered, making it extremely exotic and exclusive and a collectors item. Same is true for the BMW HP4 Race, or for those "priceless" works of art which sell for millions and are nothing more than oil on canvas after all lol.

If I had one of these I'd have to have a way to ride it into my living room.

Exactomundo! Good point! One could build a bike a lot more extreme, lighter and faster than this for 55k. Close to a MotoGP replica...Most people see this as an investment. This is not for the average fool poppin wheelies outside Mcdonalds in Vegas or Watford.

Name which bike and which parts you could buy to make a lighter, faster bike.

Not only can I name it, I can show you it! Since Ive built it myself. And there is still room for improvement; www.ebay.com/itm/132370135192?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649

Those are both amazing bikes too, but agree to disagree on the engine sound. In fact, many Ducati owners buy them specifically because of how they sound :-)

I still prefer inline four configuration but also loves v twin configuration like in the superleggera and KTM superduke :)

nope, not at all :)

The V4's and V-twins sound a lot better than inline 4's in my opinion. Everyone has different tastes

Agreed, inline 4's sound amazing to me. This literally sounds like a fast spinning lawnmower or a 250cc 2 stroke dirt bike

Facts ain't nun like a 4-banger

100%

It'll drown out any pathetic inline 4

It’s totally different in person.

sanchalesh kadam The bike has a quick shifter and auto blipper, you don't have to blip the throttle or use the clutch manually at all, the electronics do it for you. Dyno of your own? Not sure what you're saying, this was done at the dealership and is a standard procedure many Ducati dealerships offer.

IL MOSTRO Alright

I am guessing some kind of flame/spark arrestor.

its a DB KIller , remove it

+Izral Zawaki it's to prevent fanbois getting their pecker caught in there. Well done Ducati.

Sven C So a MotoGP bike use db killer? wow idiot

Can't argue with people who can't differentiate between your and you're. Also don't like your own comment, idiot.

Answered my own question, it's Approaching Nirvana "Running"

robert reavley That’s the instructions for user break in on the street. It’s a different method for race engines like this on a controlled dyno break in, approved by Ducati and Dynojet.

Yar D Blah Spark arresters I think, or to keep mice out.

To keep debris from coming off the tires and going into the exhaust outlets.

It's so that if the bike crashes the gravel doesn't go in.

This was a break in- not a power run.

Breaking it in, Hello..

I'd give up a testicle for one, without a thought.

Raymond Loh Actually this is a Ducati approved method of break-in for Panigales.

IL MOSTRO with new IR technology in producing the engine...there is no need to break in engine this way. Doing more harm than breaking in. While in factory...the engine has been cold run and combustion run...so the engine is ready once it is out from factory.

IL MOSTRO you are doing more harm than good to this piece of art...Ducati have their own precised mapping....no need third party to dyno or hard run in engine.

This owner had the same procedure done on his 1199 Superleggera- He has about 15,000 miles on it as his daily rider (yes crazy lol). You guys have to put the keyboards down and enjoy the video. There were previous dyno runs.

Hate to tell you, but this is how pretty much every Ducati dealer breaks in a new bike, unless the owner specifies no run time. This is the approved method for breaking in the engine before delivery to the customer.

Goininghard your KTM isn't 75hp to the wheel.

JIGA BACHI personally, I don't know for sure what method is best, all I know is that hard break in is good for getting the piston rings to seat properly and assure maximum performance...not my bike in any case 😉

JIGA BACHI also, this video was taken on day 2... the day before this video, the bike was run in easier, but no one wants to watch a Superleggera rolling on a dyno at 5000 RPM 😉

JIGA BACHI Really a sad thing to see, I am no engineer but even a bicycle has 100kms of break in, there is reason why after the first 1000kms you have to change the oil,to seel the pistons you use the gas not the revs, this bike will never achieve the hp declared from the factory and the suspension and the brakes also have a break in period... 💀

+ferrarinogiallo ummm it's o.k. It's already been on Ducati's run in dyno before they start the odometer. Just don't go over to Brocks performance cause if you pussyfoot the dyno you can glaze the bore and will choke it from the get go.

Only way to break-in properly is to do it something along the way it was done in the video. To "ease" it in is really going to break anything in but rather create a glazed, poorly sealed cylinder. Bearings etc. need easing in for optimal break-in, but this should and will be done during the remainder of the "break-in period". The window of opportunity for creating an optimal piston-ring seal is while the cross-hatching is till rough enough to be able to "sand down" the piston ring. This ability disappears after a short period of time, and the window for creating the seal is gone. To take advantage of this you need to create high cylinder pressure in order to press the rings out against the walls - which isn't possible by just casually riding the bike/car or whatever you're breaking-in. Nobody "eases" in a race engine - nobody!

Ranveer Rajput But the H2R is hideous. Also, while it might be fastest in a straight line, is it fastest around a track? I haven’t seen a head 2 head test on a track between these two, that would be something to see! Drag racing is boring.

IL MOSTRO..U r right..but golbally 90% percent of the people r wit h2r..Cos in natural situtation there is no track there r roads n cars all around n kawasaki is successful all around the world..N wen these two bikes wil met on natural road head to head then there is no chance for superleggera

Ranveer Rajput I hear yeah. I’d still prefer the SL because it’s beautiful and very rare. In reality, any liter bike is more than fast enough for 99.9% of riders and none of us are good enough to get full performance out of these amazing machines 😎

IL MOSTRO...At the end of the day we all r bikers..N we all have our Individual opinions...U cn stick to urs..but we all bikers love H2r☺

H2R is fugly as sin! Put your precious h2r up against one of these on a track and prepare to weep.

The owner paid for this dyno-break in. This wasn't just some fun we all had.

did you make him sign a waiver? cause ducati will never sell that man another bike again.

Chris Pallares Not sure what you're talking about, this is a normal thing. Several Panigale owners in my club have had their engines dyno broken in, it's an approved procedure and Ducati still warranties the bike after this. Plus, I was only a witness taking a video, don't even know the owner. 😉

LOL!!!!!!!

Our local Ducati dealer does this with all new bikes before delivery. It's standard procedure for bedding in the engine. The dealership will even let you watch them do it if you want.

Actually it wasn't dreamed up out of nowhere, the procedure used was an official break-in procedure trained and certified by Dyno-Jet and approved by Ducati. But yes, it must be nice to be rich and pay people to break-in your bike for you! :)

aluisious Your dealer probably did this before you took delivery of your bike. This is what the dealer does to bed in the engine. Then the owners have a procedure they need to follow for the first few hundred miles.

You never had one to begin with

What happened?

Mantas Mieželis 190 horsepower and 93 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheel on that dyno, which is said to be a conservative dyno.

IL MOSTRO 190hp are 20hp less than Ducati declared🤤

190hp at the wheels mate thats massive ducati said 215 at the crank you like 10-12%

Advertised figures are always at the crank and there is always loss between engine and wheel on all vehicles. So if your car has an advertised 300hp, it's going to be like 250-275 at the wheels on a dyno depending on the car and the dyno used. So a bike with 215hp showing 190 at the rear wheel is perfectly normal and to be expected.

Damn I will keep my 60,000 lol, only 190 to the wheel, with a full termi exhaust, and bazzaz efi I got 185 to the wheel now. I know you can probably get more to the wheel if you fatten her up.
