2013 Ducati 848EVO Corse, 848 EVO s Testastretta Engine The EVO treatment applied to the 848 introduces a 6hp power boost to 140hp and a torque increase to 10kgm that results in a razor-sharp and easy-to-use power delivery. The 94mm x 61.2mm bore and stroke 848EVO engine is a fitting reward to Ducati s ingenuity and a clear result of the continual attention to detail and development of their twin-cylinder technology. Lightweight Clutch The 848EVO engine include a sophisticated wet clutch that weighs 1kg (2.2lbs) less than its dry counterpart, has a much longer service life, improved clutch feel and quieter operation. Power and Torque Curves The new 848EVO is powered by a liquid cooled, L-Twin, Desmodromic engine that produces 140hp (103kW) @ 10,500 rpm and a high-accelerating 72.3lb-ft (10kgm) of torque @ 9,750 rpm. The Testastretta delivers a thrilling torque output at low-medium revs and an exciting power delivery at high rpm. Compression Ratio A brand new piston crown and combustion chamber shape improve burn efficiency and increase the compression ratio to a power-enhancing 13.2:1 Camshaft New camshafts provide 13mm of valve-lift compared with 11.5mm and an inlet duration increase from 253 to 257 to provide enhanced performance Elliptical Throttle Bodies The 848EVO engine is fed by MotoGP-derived elliptical large section throttle bodies which are now increased from an equivalent diameter of 56mm to 60 mm. Representing a 30% increase in air flow over conventional throttle bodies, the elliptical shape contributes to a considerable power increase. Magnesium Alloy Covers Attention to weight reduction is further underlined with the cam covers cast in magnesium alloy. Exhaust System The super-efficient power unit exhausts through a lightweight 2-1-2 system equipped with a catalytic converter and 2 lambda probes to conform to Euro3 regulations. Vacural Crankcases The highly advanced Superbike 848EVO engine features vacuum die-cast crankcases, formed using Vacural technology, a process that achieves a significant weight saving and ensures consistent wall thickness and increased strength.
