| RAM Magnesium Single Sided Swingarms!! Quickly realizing the swingarm to be the weakest link of the 1098, the RAM Magnesium Improved Swingarm project for the DUCATI 848* / 1098 / 1198 began in early 2007, and has yielded very impressive results: Also available is the RAM Magnesium Eccentric Housing
|
- Stronger in terms of torsion resistance by about 15%.
- Stronger in terms of flexural resistance by about 15%.
- Click here to see the actual laboratory test graphs.
- Lighter than the original swingarm by at least 15%.
- Longer by 15 mm in length, exactly the same length used by
DUCATI's Factory WSBK team. - Has an enlarged chain tunnel so that you may increase the
number of gearing ratios without contacting the swingarm. - Capable to install either 17" or 16.5" wheel rims.
| Retail Price for the RAM Magnesium Swingarm is - $3900 |
| Information about the effects of Unsprung weight: The law about the influence of unsprung weight over bike dynamic performance, which is defined by the absurd equation 1 equals 8, is known and globally accepted. The concept is that by diminishing the unsprung mass of a bike suspension by 1 weight unit, such diminution will have an influence 8 times larger over the bike dynamic performance. In other words, 1 Kg reduction to a suspension unsprung weight is dynamically equivalent to lightening the bike kerb weight by 8 Kg. If you consider that the RAM magnesium sssarm for the MONSTER weighs only 3,500 grams, the unsprung weight decrease amounts to 1500 grams or 30%. 8 times 1500 grams corresponds to a lightening of 12 kilograms. Those of you who tried lightening the kerb weight of any bike have realized the importance of an improvement of 12 Kg that is immediately available by installing a RAM magnesium sssarm, an improvement added to others, like better traction and stability due to the RAM sssarm lengthening. Installation NOTES: With all installs, chain must be lengthened by 1 link due to extra length of swingarm. Please contact us with any questions! |

| RAM Magnesium Swingarm for the Monster 1100 / 796 The RAM Magnesium Swingarm for the Ducati Monster 1100 weighs in at only 3500grams!! That is 1500grams (30%) lighter than the original, while also being significantly stronger than the original. This project was started in the second half of 2009, and achieved all of RAM Italia's goals, including: 30% unsprung weight reduction, Simple drop fit installation, and 12mm longer for increased stability! |
