The Ducati 1199 Panigale comes with a slew of features that include the Full TFT Instrument Panel which allows you to easily view a lot of information on the panel, M50 Monoblock calipers are an exclusive feature to the 1199 Panigale for higher rigidity and resistance. LED lights wrap around and provide better safety as you will be seen better and the Engine Brake Control (EBC) which will keep the rpms and wheels at the right speed to help keep you under control while slipping occurs.

The 1199r model also incorporates a few external tweaks including a taller windscreen for high-speed comfort, an aero piece added to the fairing, an exposed aluminum finish on the tank, and a grippier seat fabric, as well as the obligatory carbon treatment on the front fender and the swingarm cover, among other places. And speaking of swingarms, the 1199 R's is equipped with an adjustable pivot with two positive and four negative positions, offering a low-tech way of adjusting the bike's wheelbase so agility or stability can be fine-tuned according to rider preferences or track setup.
