2013 Ducati 848 EVO

In the new year Ducati returns with its special edition 848 EVO , the Corse SE. The Corse SE takes the already aggressive 848 EVO sportbike, and adds not only a unique color scheme, but updated suspension, brakes and electronics. 

The Corse SE arrives with the 848 that underwent "EVO" treatment in 2011, the engine up six horsepower to create 140 horsepower at 10,500 rpm, and 72.3 ft. lbs. of torque at 9,750 rpm. And this power is all delivered aboard one of Ducati's lightest sportbike chassis; the 2013 848 EVO weighs 370 lbs. The 848 EVO features the famed lightweight Trellis frame that utilizes a 34mm main section tubes, and a front sub-frame designed of magnesium for extra weight savings. The chassis features Ducati's signature, single-sided swingarm which was also constructed of lightweight aluminum for further weight savings.

The 848 EVO rolls on lightweight five-spoke, Y-shaped wheels mounted with Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP 120/70 ZR17 (front) and 180/55 ZR17 (rear) tires Stopping the standard 2013 Corse SE are massive 330mm discs up front squeezed by Brembo Monobloc four-piston calipers, with a 245mm disc out back squeezed by a two-piston caliper.

The 848 EVO Corse SE arrives with a lightweight aluminum fuel tank, and is dressed in Ducati Corse Test Team livery - matte black and matte grey. The Corse SE also receives the following upgrades over the standard 848 EVO - Ohlins rear suspension, Ducati Traction Control, Ducati Quick Shif. Up front, the 848 EVO Corse SE features 43mm Showa and a control-enhancing steering damper for optimal front-end stability.
