It says its patented Pureplus Technology, as shown by the product’s proven and tested technical claims, ensures that Ducati motorbikes on the track are protected against extreme temperatures up to 175-degree Celsius, have additional horsepower at 355.9km/h, and are more fuel-efficient for longer at 17,000 RPM.
“Ducati Philippines is driven by a profound commitment to nurturing Philippine motorsports from its very roots,” said Toti Alberto, President and CEO of Ducati Philippines. “Through dedicated grassroots programs, we aim to empower and educate young riders, imparting the vast racing knowledge we’ve gathered from our global exploits. Filipino motorsports fans can look forward to a more exciting competition in the PSBK, and with the support of Shell, expect to see more up-and-coming young racing talents and more red bikes on the podium.”
