Aerodynamics

• “We channeled all the Ducati aerodynamics knowledge on comfort and stability" Ducati’s aerodynamic research on aero-driven stability has been deeply harvested to assure the most firm touring experience. But aerodynamic has been given a new purpose: minimizing vibrations and air flows exposure to ensure the rider most complete protection and comfort.
• ADJUSTABLE DYNAMIC WINDSHIELD: So simple, yet so advanced. The windshield is equipped with adjustable winglets and shaped for maximum protection.
• WIND COOLER BYPASS: Side aerodynamic bypass help deviating and controlling the air flow around the rider to improve the overall comfort.
• AERODYNAMIC SPLIT RADIATORS: Redesign of the positioning of the front radiators to maximize aerodynamic efficiency.
• FRONT WINGLETS: Increase stability with vertical load and improve thermic comfort by deviating the radiators’ hot air away from the rider.
• SLICE THROUGH THE WIND: Aerodynamic research has explored every bit of the bike’s profile to maximize rider’s protection. The beak, the fairing, the shoulders of the tank and the exit of the bypass radiators have been examined in order not to let flows of hot air fall on the rider and to protect it in general to maximize the coverage of the rider and a better penetration into the air that results in comfort and lower consumption.
• THERMIC COMFORT: Aerodynamic research plays a crucial role in maintaining the perfect thermic comfort too: front winglets and bypass design keep the radiators’ hot air flow away from the rider, channeling fresh air and granting the perfect temperature. Thermic comfort is also supported by the engine rear cylinder deactivation. This specific function, taken from the Desmosedici Stradale model, is triggered when the engine is running at low speed, shutting off the rear bank, the one closest to the seat, improving comfort for both rider and passenger, thanks to the decrease in temperatures whilst optimizing consumptions.
