Electronically injected and ignited by Marelli, the super-efficient power element then exhausts during a lightweight 2-1-2 system set with a catalytic converter and up-rated to double lambda probes for smooth mapping and Euro3 conventionality. Terminating in Ducati's trademark double under-seat silencers, the system delivers that unique signature sound of the Desmo 90° L-Twin.
