The Ducati 1098s ‘S’ also sets a new standard for lightweight performance. On any super sport or race bike, the most effective area to reduce its ‘unsprung weight’. These are components like tyres, brakes on the Ducati 1098s and wheels. The Ducati 1098s addresses this important area by mounting Italian Marchesini forged and machined wheels, further reducing weight 4 lbs. on Both front and rear are super lightweight and their benefit is immediately apparent. with The weight saving on the new Ducati 1098s it only further enhanced it with the extra application of a carbon fibre on the front fender and the seat fairing cooling ducts.

The Öhlins package is completed with a control-enhancing adjustable steering damper.The 'S' also sets a new standard for lightweight performance. On any sport or race bike, the most effective area to reduce weight is its 'unsprung weight'. This is achieved through reducing the weight of components such as tires, brakes and wheels. Lighter wheels have a lower 'moment of inertia' that is beneficial with every direction change and application of the brakes. The 1098 addresses this important area by mounting Marchesini forged and machined wheels, reducing weight by 4 pounds (1.9 kilograms). The weight saving is further enhanced with the application of a carbon fiber front fender and seat fairing cooling ducts.
