Ducati 959 Panigale Summary

Ducati launched the 959 Panigale for the Indian market at the 2016 India Bike Week. The new 959 Panigale is an updated version of Ducati’s popular ‘supermid’ track bike – the 899 Panigale.

The cosmetic upgrades on the Ducati 959 Panigale include a wider fairing, windshield and larger air intakes, which give the front end an aggressive look. The fairing gets an LED lamp setup which mimics the one in Ducati’s litre-class flagship model 1299 Panigale, while the rear gets a revised design for the split tailpiece.

The 959 Panigale is built on a die-cast aluminium monocoque frame, which has the engine as a structural element. The liquid-cooled L-twin Superquadro engine displaces 955cc, and produces 157bhp and 107Nm of torque. The electronics package includes ABS, traction control, quick shift, engine brake control and ride-by-wire throttle. The 959 Panigale can be ridden in either three riding modes - race, sport and wet.

Braking is handled by dual 320mm discs upfront and a single 245mm rear disc, with sophisticated Brembo callipers. ABS is offered as standard. The Showa 43mm USDs at the front and a Sachs gas-charged rear monoshock are fully adjustable. Ducati offers the 959 Panigale with a new Euro4 compliant dual canister exhaust system.

The 959 Panigale competes with other middleweight supersports motorcycles like the Triumph Daytona 675R and the MV Agusta F3 800. It is available in either a red paint scheme or the ‘Corse’ livery that will set you back by an extra Rs 67,000 over the standard 959.

Ducati 959 Panigale Review

  • Good Things

    • Offers a track-focused riding position
    • Comes loaded with electronic aids
    • Gets good quality components
  • Could be Better

    • Can be difficult to ride in the city
    • Could do with wider service reach

BikeWale's Take

The 959 Panigale is Ducati’s entry-level supersport motorcycle. It offers a potent engine and an aggressive riding position to match. Moreover, the 959 Panigale also comes equipped with loads of electronic aids for better control. On the other hand, the bike tends to heat up in heavy traffic conditions. Also, the 959 Panigale could do better with a wider service reach.

      I love my bike because it's fast and attractive loud sound, perfect handling but sometimes i think that fuel tank capacity is little low but overall this is good bike to race to show to travel i drive this bike mostly in night because people get out there houses too see my bike going for a drive everytime when i start my engine the starting sound of engine is amazing.

      Correct shifting of gears is needed. Never increase the engine temperature. Keep the body of bike clean as it looks horrible when dusty. Waterwash each month is necessary.....

      Beauty and beast in red and white

      6 years ago


      Bidhan

      Hi all, Did u ever notice why ducati looks so beautiful it's because italian's are best in their designs, the best ever design with great power. It can be said that beauty and beast in one and all. The bike is very nice to ride. Initially, you have to control your nerves during throttle but once your heart and engine are pumping the same way then you will have excellent control. It's your baby when you ride like the one you care. It's my love for it. Currently, i don't own it but one day this baby would be mine and i will call myself to be the proud owner of this beast with beauty. Suggesting all you can have ninja's, haya, and much more but this is a design excellence. The bike will take care of you on road with all its electronics and rosso tyre 3 ..... And there are many things to share but i would suggest go and ride.... Feel the bike.
