Patent reveals Race style Gearbox Tech
Ducati ne Panigale V4 R race style transmission ke liye patent file kiya hai. Ye normal bike ke gearbox se kaafi different hai. Usually bikes mein one down, five up pattern hota hai, but is system mein neutral first gear ke below diya gaya hai, jo mostly racing bikes mein hi dekhne ko milta hai.
What This means for future Ducati's
- Is patent mein ek neutral lock-out system explain kiya gaya hai, jiska name Ducati Neutral Lock (DNL) hai, jo ride ke between galti se neutral lag jaane se rokta hai.
- Ducati ka kehna hai ki unka design rival systems ke comparison mein zyada simple, affordable or more reliable hai.
- Low cost or simple design ki wajah se, Ducati in the coming years apart from Panigale V4 R apni or road focused bikes mein bhi ye gearbox introduce kar sakti hai.
