Specifications and features

ST2 has features for sport touring, including hard luggage, relaxed ergonomics and powerful engine.

Frame

The frame is a tubular trellis frame, similar to the 916 frame in torsional rigidity and lightness.

Engine

The Ducati ST2 relies on the power plant that it appears to be derived from the Ducati 907 Paso, which features the signature 90 degree V-twin, SOHC, 2-valve desmo heads, Remus exhausts, 10.2:1 compression and Webber-Marelli electronic fuel injection with one injector and one spark plug per cylinder. It has an increased bore to 944cc and a heavier flywheel appropriate to its touring function.

Suspension

The suspension in fully adjustable for the early production series, featuring upside-down Showa forks at the front and Sachs rear shock, the same as the Ducati 916 Superbike but with softer damper ratings.

Brakes and tires

The ST2 front brakes feature twin 320mm floating Brembo discs and four-piston calipers, while the rear uses Brembo single 245mm disc with a twin-piston caliper. The recommended tyres are Michelin Macadam or Metzeler's MEZ4 sport radials in 120/70 ZR17 for the front and 170/60 ZR17 for the rear, on Brembo rims.

Ergonomics

The riding position is slightly forward for sport riding and touring comfort. The large dual saddle accommodates two riders.

Gauges

The tachometer is positioned centrally. Under the gauges is a liquid-crystal window that displays fuel level, engine coolant temperature and time.
