All-Carbon Ducati 1199 Panigale S by Arete Americana

Feel good about your pride and joy Ducati Panigale? How about we ruin your day by posting the all-new full-carbon trim Ducati 1199 Panigale S by Arete Americana?  were just pulling your leg and kidding about making you feel bad, but this Arete artwork is just too hot to keep if from sight.

For obvious reasons, motorcycles with full-carbon fiber outer parts look even more powerful, menacing and, if you want, even faster looking. This material is used by MotoGP racing teams, allowing the fairings of their motorcycles to be very strong while keeping weight under strict check.

However, we just don’t get to see too much carbon exposed on these race bikes, unless we’re at a track for pre-season practice. Once the championship kick-off is getting really near, these recently more cycles display their team’s official livery and get sponsor decals until they become effortlessly recognizable from the grandstands.

Well, Arete Americana  created quite the opposite. While the dual headlights with their specific shape in combination with the Ducati red color make a Ducati 1199 Panigale S rather easy to recognize, dropping the color and replacing it with the sober shine of carbon takes things to another exotic level.
Arete went just about the right extent with adding carbon parts to this Panigale. That is, in case you were expecting carbon fiber wheels also, carbon covers for the engine cases or a matching exhaust, you’ll be disappointed maybe.

Arete Americana went for the very popular OZ RAcing wheels instead of the BST some were maybe waiting for. The Termignoni exhaust muffler is untouched, and so is the engine. In a case, we sort of like this choice, too, because the matte texture of the bare aluminium and magnesium creates an awesome  contrast with the carbon layer.

Also, the choice of a clean, aluminium fuel tank stresses out the elegant fairing. The seat was also trimmed in a material whose texture looks like carbon fiber, and comes with a matching rear seat cover. For track events, the mirrors can be taken off and CNC machined aluminium caps can be installed, while all the heat shields are also in carbon fiber, all around the motorcycle.

No price was review for such a masterpiece, but you can always visit Arete Americana Facebook and ask for more details.
