Introducing the new 2022 Ducati Futa…

The new Ducati Futa is a high-performance e-road, designed for those who want to train, have fun and ride at their best, alone or in company. The Futa is a light E-Bike, which represents the perfect balance between comfort and performance, allowing you to go up even the most demanding climbs with the awareness of being able to fully enjoy them.

The carbon fibre monocoque frame features a sport endurance geometry, but with technical choices oriented to aerodynamics and speed. The compact seatstays, with lowered liners, makes the E-Bike comfortable, while generating less aerodynamic drag. The rear triangle is stiff laterally, precisely by virtue of the choice of liners positioning and favours a better transmission of power to the wheel, as well as increasing the responsiveness of the bike.

Downtube, seat post and fork liners are expertly profiled, and their reliefs are highlighted by the play of colours of the livery, which sees grey and black as the main colours with accents in Ducati Red. The engine, located on the rear hub, is the FSA System HM 1.0 with 250W and 42Nm of torque which boasts a fluid and natural delivery in all conditions and is among the lightest and most compact in its category (3.98 kg). This engine is equipped with 5 assistance levels that can be selected via the Garmin control on the handlebar, which allow you to manage the desired level of support. The FSA app, available for iOS and Android devices, allows the rider to view statistics, system status, remaining battery life and charge status quickly and intuitively. Through the app it is also possible to download any software updates and communicate with FSA service centres around the world.

Thanks to its low weight (12.4Kg in M size) and to an almost imperceptible engine resistance, exceeding 25Km/h, the Ducati Futa is always responsive and fast on flat stretches. The standard FSA K-Force WE group set features an exceptionally smooth and fast 2×12-speed wireless electronic shifting, powerful 160mm disc brakes with adjustable UD carbon interchangeable levers and crankset with pedal arms in carbon.

The Vision AGX30 wheels with carbon rims are fitted with 35mm Pirelli Cinturato Velo TLR tyres, which guarantee smoothness, comfort and grip, combined with considerable strength. The 250Wh FSA battery is integrated in the downtube and an optional 250Wh range extender is available to cover even longer distances.

The “Ducati Powered by Thok” e-bikes are manufactured under license by KP Srl and can be ordered through the Ducati dealer network in Europe and online on this website. There is an option to choose delivery to an authorized retailer or to your home.

The Ducati powered by Thok E-Bikes project is a consolidated reality in the pedal-assist bicycle segment, the result of the collaboration between the Bologna-based manufacturer and Thok E-Bikes.

The goal of the project is to offer unique and exciting experiences to enthusiasts of this world. Ducati E-Bikes focus on high performance, innovative technological solutions and the distinctive design typical of the Borgo Panigale company.

For 2022, the range expands with an evolution of the All Mountain MIG-S, the presentation of the TK-01RR Limited Edition, and with the addition of the new Ducati Futa, the model that marks Ducati’s entry into the pedal-assist racing bicycle segment.

Ducati E-Bikes Range is Updated for 2022 and Will Extend into e-Road Segment With New Futa

For the 2022 season, the big news is the Futa: the first Ducati racing bicycle with pedal assistance. The Ducati E-Bikes range is also updated with an evolution of the MIG-S and the presentation of the TK-01RR Limited Edition.

Giorgio Favaretto, Head of Ducati E-Bikes business: “The Ducati E-Bikes project was born in 2019 and immediately set itself the goal of offering pedal-assisted bicycles with which to live unique and memorable experiences. The updates to existing models and the presentation of the new Ducati Futa give a further push in this direction, making up an even more complete and higher-performance range of E-Bikes for 2022. In particular, the inclusion of the Futa allows us to welcome new enthusiasts of this world into our family.”

In 2022 the range expands with the presentation of the new Ducati TK-01RR Limited Edition available now, an even more exclusive version of the Ducati e-enduro with which to tackle off-road challenges. This limited edition is a concentration of technology that confirms the key features of the TK-01RR version, but is enriched with more advanced components, with the aim of further improving performance, especially in difficult downhill sections.

The Öhlins DH38 dual-plate motorcycle-style air fork (180 mm / 7 inch travel) and the Öhlins TTX spring shock absorber (170 mm / 6.7 inch travel) ensure incredible control of the vehicle downhill, while still maintaining great efficiency on uphill stretches. The 11-speed Shimano Di2 XT rear electronic shifter always provides fast and precise shifting, while the Magura MT7 brakes with 220 mm (8.7 inch) discs at the front and 203 mm (8 inch) at the rear are also of motorcycle derivation and are among the most powerful available on the market.

The differentiated format Crankbrothers Synthesis wheels (29″ front, 27.5″ rear) with variable thickness carbon rims help to further improve riding precision, guaranteeing an excellent weight / strength ratio. The set-up is completed by a Renthal carbon handlebar, a Fizik saddle with a special integrated tool holder, and finally a carbon battery cover and skid plate.

The Ducati MIG-S is an agile, high-performance and fun “All Mountain,” born to tackle any trail and ensure maximum fun in any condition. For 2022, the electric mountain bike is renewed in its aesthetics with a brand-new sporty livery which, as in all models in the range, was designed by Aldo Drudi in collaboration with the Centro Stile Ducati. The MIG-S also takes an important evolutionary step from a technical point of view by welcoming the more high-performance Shimano EP8 engine together with updated components.

The new Shimano EP8 drive unit represents a benchmark for the category. It is an exceptionally light engine (2.6 kg / 5.7 lb in weight), capable of delivering up to 85 Nm of torque (62.7 lb-ft) with a maximum servo assistance ratio of 400%. In this engine the torque is always delivered with fluidity and naturalness to ensure excellent control of the bicycle. Thanks to the Shimano Etube Project App, it is also possible at any time to adapt the character of the motor to your needs via your smartphone wirelessly, by adjusting maximum torque and assistance timing.

The Ducati MIG-S can explore any path, ensuring excellent handling for the rider. The handling of this e-mtb is made possible by the high-level components it is equipped with.

The new suspensions (RockShox 35 RC fork and RockShox SuperDeluxe shock absorber) are adjustable and have a travel of 150 mm (5.9 inches) at the front and 140 mm (5.5 inches) at the rear, ideal for tackling any type of path in safety. The 12-speed SRAM transmission is even more precise and reliable, while the brakes are the powerful 4-piston SRAM Guide T with 203 mm (8-inch) discs. The 29″ front and 27.5″ THOK e-plus wheels are equipped with Pirelli Scorpion Enduro S tires at the front and Pirelli Scorpion EMTB-S at the rear to offer maximum grip and traction on the most demanding stretches and at higher speeds. The 630Wh Shimano battery is positioned externally, under the downtube, ensuring an extremely low center of gravity and maximizing stability.

The most important Ducati powered by Thok news for the 2022 E-Bikes range is called Ducati Futa. The name derives from the Futa Pass, the road that crosses the Apennines connecting Bologna to Florence, well-known and much-appreciated by many Ducatisti. The Ducati Futa is a performing e-road, for those who want to train, have fun and pedal to their maximum even over long distances and when covering the most demanding climbs. A light e-bike that embodies the Ducati spirit by focusing on design, innovation and fun in a perfect combination of comfort and performance.

A lightweight e-road that embodies the pure Ducati spirit by focusing on design, innovation and fun in a perfect combination of comfort and performance: a latest generation product developed to cover greater distances and gradients beyond your expectations.

Carbon fiber frame The carbon fiber monocoque frame has a sport endurance geometry, but with technical choices oriented towards aerodynamics and speed.

FSA K-Force WE complete groupset With an elegant style it is the result of many years of research and development. The K Force WE groupset boasts a 2×12 speed wireless electronic shifting that ensures smooth, quiet, fast and precise speed changes.

The interchangeable UD carbon levers ensure an intuitive and comfortable grip, especially thanks to the depth adjustment in three positions. Allowing you to change speeds one by one or to scroll the entire cassette in one of the directions. The crankset with carbon cranks and the powerful and modular 160 mm disc brakes complete the group.

Trimax Carbon Aero handlebar An aerodynamic handlebar in carbon fiber among the most resistant on the market and full of notable details that make it very comfortable. Like the 10° forward bend, which allows the hands to reach them more comfortably and with an ideal position to facilitate breathing.

Vision AGX30 wheels A solidly built and reliable wheelset. The carbon rims not only contribute to weight saving but also promote pedalling efficiency, especially in the acceleration phases. Pirelli Cinturato Velo “tubeless ready” tires (35×700) are synonymous with grip, comfort and sturdiness.
