Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a track-focused superbike best suited to experienced riders who are already comfortable with aggressive geometry and high-revving twins.
PurposeBuilt primarily for spirited cornering and track days, with road use very much a secondary consideration.
Rider FitExpect a committed, forward-leaning riding position with high pegs and a low bar reach that demands decent wrist, shoulder and core strength over longer stints.
CharacterA raw, mechanical L-Twin character with sharp throttle response, strong midrange torque and razor-sharp handling that rewards precise inputs.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for new riders, commuters wanting comfort, or anyone planning long-distance touring or two-up travel.

2013 Ducati 848 EVO Corse SE Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 830mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2013 Ducati 848 EVO Corse SE, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.

⚠ Safety Recalls (1)

EQUIPMENT Apr 2014 · 14E012000

Ohlins Racing AB (Ohlins) is recalling certain steering dampers kits manufactured with an incorrectly machined bracket. These dampers were sold for use as aftermarket equipment on Yamaha R1, R6, and FZ6, Suzuki TL1000 R and GSX1300R, Honda CB600RR, and Ducati Monster 1000, 748, 848, 916, 996, and 998 motorcycles. Also included are universal steering damper kits with part numbers SD 000 through SD 005. The affected brackets may crack.

Risk: If there is a crack in the steering bracket, at low speeds it may cause the steering to lock, leading to personal injury or a crash.

Remedy: Ohlins will notify the distributors and provide their customers with a new bracket. The recall began in November 2013. Owners may contact Ohlins USA at 1-828-692-4525. Note: This recall is an expansion of recall 13E-034.
