DVT

[duke63]

Ducati variable vale timing is coming on the 2015 Multistrada apparently.

So called because most Ducati owners are so old they've already got DVT in their legs

Tell me about it

We are in a golden age of bike development. The pace at which technology is being implemented and then evolved / refined is mind blowing and difficult to keep up with.

VVT has been around a fair while though, I recall the old MGF's being fitted with it years back, but if Ducati have found a new wrinkle to use I'm interested in what they've found and how it works. I'm always interested in new engine technology, and yes I know that's a bit sad.

Coming next....CVT!!

7% more torque, 7% more power and 8% better fuel consumption. can't be bad.

Are they going to put it on the Panigale?

[duke63]

No its for the Multi and Diavel i think.

The video shows the Testastretta engine and not the Superquadro the Panigales have.

Looks like the advance/retard of the cams will be controlled by engine oil pressure, probably via a variable Solenoid located somewhere on the engine. It's a good system, I've worked with something similar for the last 15yrs and it's proved extremely reliable, fingers crossed the Ducati part is as good.
