DUCATI 848 EVO Corse SE (2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2013, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Ducati 848 EVO Corse SE, a fully faired sports motorcycle and one of the most powerful machines built by the House of Borgo Panigale.

The bike was fitted with race-derived elements and technologies but also with a special paint scheme and graphics. Besides the paint scheme, the lightweight aluminum fuel tank that reduced the overall weight by one kg (2.2 lbs) and an improved braking system set it apart from the base model.

Also, the bike packed the same standard features as its siblings, such as a single seat, a full fairing with a dual headlight system, a small windscreen, an under-seat-mounted exhaust system, a single-sided swingarm, and 10-spoke lightweight wheels.

In the suspension department, the Trellis frame was equipped with a 43 mm fully adjustable USD Showa telescopic fork on the front and a fully adjustable race-derived Ohlins shock absorber with progressive linkage on the rear.

The 2013 Ducati 848 EVO Corse SE had installed underneath its fuel tank an 848cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine that featured an electronically-controlled fuel injection system, boasting 140 hp at 10,500 rpm and 98 Nm (72 lb-ft) torque with maximum strength at 9,750 rpm.

With a dry weight of 168 kg (370 lbs), a six-speed manual transmission with a hydraulically-controlled wet multi-plate clutch, and a final chain drive, the machine reached a top speed of 261 kph (162 mph).
