The Ducati 1299 Panigale is a 1,285 cc (78.4 cu in) Ducati sport bike unveiled at the 2014 Milan Motorcycle Show and produced between 2015 and 2018 as a successor to the 1,198 cc (73.1 cu in) 1199. The motorcycle is named after the small manufacturing town of Borgo Panigale.^[4]

The 1299 wheelbase remains the same at 1437 mm. The base version retains front forks by Marzocchi and Sachs shock absorber; The S variant has new semi-active Öhlins Smart EC suspension that can be switched between different driving modes to match road conditions.

The entire range is now equipped with new generation of electronics, including a new IMU, racing ABS and anti-wheelie. Switchable riding modes and traction controls, similar to the old version, have been ported over onto the new platform.
