An adjustable riding position on all 999 models allows for optimum ergonomics, performance, handling, and control on the road and the racetrack. Fitting the bike to individual rider size is accomplished with adjustable footpegs and adjustable rake, suspension and a seat/tank combination on the single-seat version with 20 mm of fore and aft travel. A well-loaded front end ensures manageable and precise control, at the same time taking the weight off the rider's wrists. The entire range is equipped with radial master cylinders with built-in reservoirs offering a wider steering angle for easier city riding.

Ducati Superbikes are the first motorcycles to adapt emerging technologies that simplify the layout of the electrical system and reduce overall weight. The major source of innovation is a CAN line (Controller Area Network) which greatly simplifies the electrical system by reducing the number of wires and connectors which lowers weight and makes servicing easier.

The Superbike Brembo braking system consists of twin 320 mm steel front brake discs set in a more outward position for improved cooling and a steel 240 mm diameter rear brake disc. The front brake "triple bridge" calipers are rigid for incredible stopping power and feature four 34 mm pistons and four individual sintered brake pads. The radial front brake and clutch levers are adjustable for better ergonomics. The entire range utilizes lightweight, five spoke, Y-shaped Brembo/Marchesini wheels.

The exhaust system's innovative asymmetrical layout and the high-volume single-muffler result in significant torque at the middle of the rev range. All models comply with Euro 2 standards.

The Superbike's highly advanced trellis frame, constructed of mitered and welded high-strength steel tubing, ensures precise handling and stability for a consistent and predictable ride.

Ducati Superbikes utilize an incredibly advanced instrumentation panel. Composed of a circular tachometer with a backlit, classic, white dial and LCD panel, it indicates engine coolant temperature, speed, odometer, battery voltage, air temperature, fuel consumption, code-based diagnostics and signals for 200 and 100 rpm before redline. The panel also indicates time, routine service interval and anti-theft system status.

The stopwatch function is a must for track riders: for each lap, the instrument panel stores top speed, top engine rpm, over-rev occurrences and elapsed time. The lighting of the instrument panel is automatically adjusted according to the external light conditions to ensure display visibility.

Built around the Testastretta engine, the Ducati 999S possesses the form of a pure sports bike: low, long, and narrow with exciting componentry and a technical look. Ducati's experience gained over years of successful racing at the highest levels is evident in the design and technical characteristics of the 999S: fully-adjustable Öhlins, 43 mm, upside-down FG315 fork with low friction TiN treatment, and Teflon bushes and top-out spring. The fork has special bottoms for the radial-mounted, 4-pad front brake calipers, a solution used in racing where maximum braking performance is essential.

The rear of the 999S features the new Öhlins (DU326 on the single-seater and DU327 on the two-seater), including a new box-section rear swing-arm to maximise grip and adjustable Öhlins steering damper for enhanced handling.

The Ducati 999S is fitted with a powerful, track-ready Testastretta engine that produces 143 hp. Its exclusive deep oil sump is integrated into the lower engine casing, ensuring constant oil pick-up even when the motorcycle is accelerating aggressively or cornering at extreme lean angles – a solution inherited from Ducati's racing experience. The 999S combines incredible performance with a linear and tractable power delivery so you are "on the gas sooner" and "shift gear" less.

The motorcycle comes with a racing kit that includes a complete Termignoni exhaust system, an electronic control unit with race mapping and a carbon fiber silencer cover.
