Ducati updates its e-bike product range
Giorgio Favaretto, Head of Ducati E-Bikes - "The Ducati E-Bike project was launched in 2019 with the aim of offering e-bikes for unique and unforgettable experiences. The updates to existing models and the presentation of the new Ducati Futa give a further push in this direction, forming an even more complete and powerful e-bike range for 2022. In particular, the addition of the Futa allows us to welcome new enthusiasts from around the world to our family."
The Ducati MIG-S is an agile and powerful all-mountain that masters every trail and ensures maximum riding fun in all conditions. For 2022, the electric mountain bike will be presented with a brand new sporty paint finish. As with all models in the range, this was designed by Aldo Drudi in collaboration with the Centro Stile Ducati. The MIG-S also takes an important evolutionary step in technical terms, with the more powerful Shimano EP8 motor together with other updated components.
The new Shimano EP8 drive unit sets new standards in this category. It is an exceptionally lightweight motor (weighing 2.6 kg) that can deliver up to 85 Nm of torque with a maximum servo assistance of 400 %. With this motor, torque is always delivered smoothly and naturally to ensure excellent control of the vehicle. Thanks to the Shimano Etube Project app, it is also possible to customize the character of the motor at any time, even wirelessly via smartphone, by setting the maximum torque and the timing of the assistance.
The Ducati MIG-S is ready for any trail and offers the rider excellent handling. The good handling of this E-MTB is made possible by the high-quality components with which it is equipped.
The new suspension elements (RockShox 35 RC suspension fork and RockShox SuperDeluxe shock) are adjustable and have a suspension travel of 150 mm at the front and 140 mm at the rear - ideal for safely mastering any trail. The 12-speed gears from SRAM are even more precise and reliable. The brakes are also very powerful. The SRAM Guide T is installed with 4 brake pistons and 203 mm brake discs. The THOK e-plus wheels measure 29 inches on the front wheel and 27.5 inches on the rear wheel. Pirelli Scorpion Enduro S tires are fitted at the front and Pirelli Scorpion EMTB-S tires at the rear, which offer maximum grip and traction on the most demanding trails and at higher speeds. The 630 Wh Shimano battery is positioned on the outside under the down tube, which ensures an extremely low center of gravity and maximizes stability.
In 2022, the range of e-bikes will be expanded with the presentation of the new Ducati TK-01RR Limited Edition, an even more exclusive version of the Ducati E-Enduro, which can be used to tackle even greater off-road challenges.
This Limited Edition is a technological masterpiece based on the TK-01RR, but enriched with higher quality components to further improve performance, especially on demanding descents.
The Öhlins DH38 double-bridge motorcycle-style air suspension fork (180 mm travel) and the Öhlins TTX shock (170 mm travel) provide incredible control on descents, while still ensuring very efficient handling on climbs. The 11-speed Shimano Di2 XT electronic drivetrain always ensures fast and precise shifting, while the Magura MT7 brake system with a 220 mm brake disc at the front and a 203 mm brake disc at the rear is also based on the motorcycle sector and is one of the most powerful on the market.
The different sized Crankbrothers Synthesis wheels (29" front, 27.5" rear) made of carbon with variable thickness further improve riding precision and guarantee an excellent balance between weight and strength. The equipment is completed by carbon handlebars from Renthal, a saddle from Fizik with integrated tool holder and finally a carbon battery cover and skid plate.
