Our take on this /// Verdict

The Ducati 959 Panigale Corse is a stellar machine that balances performance, handling, and technology seamlessly. On the track, it shines with its quickshifter, slipper clutch, and advanced electronics such as Ducati Traction Control and Engine Braking Control, making it a joy to ride aggressively. In real-world conditions, it remains manageable, though it can be a bit demanding in heavy city traffic due to the heat emanated by the engine. The bikes ergonomics are surprisingly comfortable for a sports bike, and the Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa tires provide excellent grip. However, the absence of features like cornering ABS and forged alloy wheels in the standard model might be a consideration for some. Overall, it is a powerful, yet refined, middleweight sports bike that is hard to ignore for enthusiasts.

Price

In India, the Ducati 959 Panigale Corse comes with a premium price tag. The ex-showroom price typically hovers around 18-20 lakhs, depending on the region and any customizations or additional features. Once you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other taxes, the price can easily exceed 22-25 lakhs. While this is certainly on the higher side, the quality of the bike, its performance, and the brands reputation justify the cost for serious motorcycle enthusiasts. The price also reflects the high-end components such as Ohlins suspension and Brembo M4.32 brake calipers, which are standard on the Corse variant.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 06:51 AM When it comes to mileage, the Ducati 959 Panigale Corse is not designed for fuel efficiency but for raw performance. In real-world riding conditions, you can expect around 8-12 kml, depending on how aggressively you ride. On the highway, if you maintain a steady speed, the mileage can slightly improve, but in city traffic, it tends to drop due to the frequent acceleration and braking. Given its 955cc Superquadro L-twin engine producing 150hp, the fuel efficiency is reasonable, but its clear that this bike is meant for those who prioritize performance over economy.
