Engine Displacement: 998 cc
The Superleggera V4 is powered by a lightened version of the 998 cc Desmosedici Stradale R engine. This powerplant is a mechanical jewel, featuring titanium connecting rods and screws to shed every possible gram. It utilizes a counter rotating crankshaft a direct transfer of MotoGP technology to counteract the gyroscopic effect of the wheels, making the bike exceptionally agile despite its extreme power.
Max Power: 224 hp (Road) / 234 hp (Racing Kit)
In its street-legal configuration, the Superleggera V4 produces 224 hp. However, when fitted with the supplied Akrapovi? full racing exhaust, the output jumps to a staggering 234 hp @ 15,500 rpm. This creates an unmatched power-to-weight ratio of 1.54 hp/kg, a figure that places it closer to a professional racing prototype than a standard production motorcycle.
Max Torque: 116 Nm (Road) / 119 Nm (Racing Kit)
The engine delivers 116 Nm of torque in road trim, which increases to 119 Nm with the racing kit. The power delivery is controlled by a specialized Riding Mode system specifically calibrated for the Superleggera’s ultra-lightweight chassis, ensuring that the torque translates into forward momentum rather than just wheelspin.
