DUCATI 848 EVO (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

The story of the 848 began on November 6, 2007, when Ducati announced the Ducati 848 for the 2008 year model. It was a sports motorcycle dressed in a full fairing and powered by an 848cc V-twin liquid-cooled engine.

The bike replaced the Ducati 749 in 2008 and was replaced by the Ducati 899 in 2013. It was manufactured for six years from 2008 to 2013, and included several variations with slightly different differences.

In 2010, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Ducati 848 EVO, a sports motorcycle featuring minor modifications in almost every mechanical department, resulting in an increase in performance and maneuverability.

In the performance department, the bike's engine was rethought and equipped with higher-compression cams, resulting in a six-hp increase. The 848cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine delivered an output power of 140 hp with maximum strength at 10,500 rpm and 98 Nm (72 lb-ft) torque at 9,750 rpm.

The bike's power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a hydraulically controlled wet multi-plate clutch, while the rear wheel was spun by a final chain drive to a top speed of 261 kph (162 mph).

In the suspension department, the 2010 Ducati 848 EVO packed a 43 mm fully adjustable USD Showa fork on the front and a fully adjustable Ohlins shock absorber on the rear, delivering excellent handling capabilities.
