New 2010 models arrive at Ducati dealerships

25th February 2010

Ducati dealers across the UK are gearing up for the new bike season as the 2010 range of Ducati models start arriving at dealerships over the next few days.

New models arriving at showrooms include Superbikes such as the 848 Dark and 1198S Corse, the new Hypermotard Evo and Evo SP and the new 696 ABS and 1100 ABS Monsters.

The new 848 Dark is now available to buy at dealerships at a mouth-watering £9,995 and included in the price is the Ducati Corse Riding Gear Set (Ducati Corse leather suit, Arai Chaser helmet, Ducati Corse gloves, Puma boots and Dainese-Ducati Back Protector).

Also new to the Superbike range is the 1198S Corse limited edition which must be seen to be appreciated with its factory team-style aluminium fuel tank, Ducati Traction Control and a special celebratory Ducati Corse livery. This is also subject to the Ducati Corse Gear offer and includes a Ducati track day at Silverstone and invitation to a WSBK race.

The Hypermotard family expands for 2010 with the addition of the exciting new and enhanced Hypermotard 1100EVO and the extreme Hypermotard 1100EVO SP. Hot on the heels of the recently released lightweight Hypermotard 796 is the 1100 model that has evolved into a lighter (7kg - Evo, 11kg SP) and more powerful (5hp) bike than the original. The Hypermotard 1100EVO SP pushes the limits even further with a model intended to perform on the track as well as the street.

For the first time since its debut both the 696 and 1100 Monsters will be available with ABS (anti-lock braking system). The Monster 696 and 1100 have become extremely popular in the UK since they were launched in 2008 and now have been enhanced with this sophisticated ABS system.

The Multistrada 1200 is not due to arrive in dealerships until early April; however, a pre-production model is currently touring Ducati showrooms.
