Ducati S4R Testastretta
EXHILARATING
POWER AND SUPERIOR HANDLING
2007 MODEL EARLY RELEASE
The Monster 2007 range is now bigger and better
with the new S4R Testastretta. This new bike gains
the famous 130 Hp Testastretta low sump L-twin
engine, previously mounted only on the top version
S4Rs Testastretta.
Founder of the SR family, this bike takes upon
a very important role, coming up alongside the
S4R s Testastretta which represents the current
performance and equipment apotheosis. The S4R
develops and increases in power going from 117
Hp of the previous engine, to the 130 Hp of the
Testastretta, maintaining its’ very important
role in the SR family: its two sided mufflers,
the aluminium trellis single-sided swingarm, the
small fairing, the exclusive paint schemes, the
high quality suspensions, joined together with
the powerful low sump Testastretta engine, is
a milestone in the development of the Monster
S4R Testastretta.
A bike that, in the new Ducati 2007 range, has
a very important role, catching the attention
of the most exigent performance –oriented
“ducatista”.
The S4R Testastretta is different from the “s”
version due to the suspension. The front forks
are now fully adjustable upside- down Showa’s,
giving the customer the possibility of a perfectly
balanced bike. The rear is fully adjustable with
piggy back shock absorbers by Sachs, allowing
modification of suspension settings. The height
of the rear of the bike is adjustable too by the
modification of the length of the push rod.
Whilst respecting the previous version, the S4R
MY ’07, has, like the S4RS, the prestigious
Brembo front brake system too. The front has now
a prettier look thanks to the new front fork bottom
end, purposely created to fit the Brembo radial
callipers.
The new S4R Testastretta is now available in
two new colour schemes: Titanium with central
black stripe, and in the traditional Ducati red
with central white stripe.
Both colour versions have the red frame with
the black painted swingarm, just like the new
Showa front fork bottom end. A lot of the other
components are black painted: the headlamp support,
the steering plates, the risers, the footrests
and the water cooler side covers.
The bike will be available in the early October.
All 2007 Ducati models require less frequent
service, less parts and labour during each service
and, as a result, greatly reduced scheduled maintenance
costs – by as much as 50%. |
