It successfully adopts the same design guidelines and the same compact cylinder and cylinder head layout, but introduces for the first time ever an innovative solution for the crankcase, which has been designed with a further weight reduction for this advanced engine in mind. The overall layout of this engine integrates a series of avant-guard solutions, confirming the close links with the experience of Ducati’s racing department.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 85%;"> The 849cc engine has bore and stroke values of 94mm and 61.2mm respectively, which produce a ratio that is only slightly inferior to the 1098 (1.54 compared with 1.61), while maintaining the highly ‘over-square’ layout typical of racing engines. </span></div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 85%;"> Power output is an impressive 134hp (98.5kW) at 10,000 rpm and maximum torque is 71 lb/ft (96Nm) at 8250 rpm. The power and torque values confirm the high performance level of this engine, especially when compared to its predecessor, the Testastretta-engined 749.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 85%;"> The cylinder head has been modified in line with the characteristic bore and stroke of the engine in order to optimize the fluid dynamics of the intake (straight and plunging) and exhaust ducts and combustion chamber. The compression ratio is 12:1.</span>
