In a return to design basics, Frederick Cederna Design and JHP Racing/Ducati Coventry developed the Ducati Desmodue 1170RS as a modern and lightweight racing platform to take on Superbikes & SuperSports.

Combining the 300 pound weight with a 115 hp power plant, the 1170 RS targets the power to weight ratio of a GP 250.
