Ducati Marks 90th Anniversary With $29k 1299 Panigale S Anniversario

To celebrate its 90th anniversary, Ducati has come out with a special 1299 Panigale S Anniversario edition that shows how far the Italian superbike giant has come in its lifetime.

The motorcycle is a special edition version of the 1299 Panigale S, and it boasts some of the same features, such as the same 1,285-cc L-twin engine, before-their-time electronic controls, and aluminum monocoque chassis.

Some of the above-mentioned electronic upgrades include traction control and wheelie-control programs improve the cornering and acceleration of the Panigale S. When paired with the new chassis build, the Anniversario version of the S is more like the racing bike version from Ducati, the Panigale R.

Other special features on the Anniversario include a lithium-ion battery, a titanium exhaust, and a carbon-fiber mudguard help reduce the weight off of the bike, making it 5.5 pounds lighter than the regular Panigale S.

The Panigale S Anniversario boasts gold magnesium-alloy wheels and engine covers. These finishes are paired with a red and white paint job with black trim on the fairings and tail.

Ducati is set to only make 500 examples of the Anniversario, with each carrying a $29,000 price tag.
