Allow me to introduce, I am Dino Cappa,
lifetime automotive project engineer and since 1996 technical responsible of RAM.

I wish showing you in this page a new way to improve, dramatically but safely, the performance of your DUCATI 1098 & 848, either for competition or road use, by installing a RAM magnesium sssarm and/or a pair of BST carbon fiber wheels.
To prove it I shall offer you data from tests carried out over the road and on circuits by famous motorcycle test reporters, like Claudio Corsetti of MOTO SPRINT, Franco Rossi and Alessandro Bettini of IN MOTO and Lorenzo Miniati of MONDO DUCATI.

Please offer me some minutes of your time, for deepening the reasons why installing on your 1098 or 848 a RAM sssarm and BST wheels, singly or together, you are to benefit of large, substantial advantages in terms of "PERFORMANCE & SECURITY"

First, consider the "RAM Magnesium SSSARM Suspension kit"

The RAM sssarm project for the DUCATI 1098 begun early 2007, target a magnesium suspension unit to be:

stronger in terms of torsion resistance by about 15%,
stronger in terms of flexural resistance by about 15%, link to see the laboratory test graphs
lighter as compared to the original suspension by at least 15%
longer in radius by 15 mm, which is the same lengthening chosen later by DUCATI for their WSBK
with an enlarged chain tunnel so that to increase the number of ratios,
capable to install either 17" or 16.5" wheel rims.

Comprehensive of the "RAM Magnesium Eccentric Housing"

A magnesium housing which is stiffer then standard and enables unsprung weight saving of almost 30%.

Following road and circuit appraisals, the press tester concluded that the handling performence of a bike installed with the RAM magnesium sssarm is in all ways superior to that of a standard bike, expressing comments and opinions such as:

*	"The installation of the sole RAM sssarm produces a very substantial and immediately perceptible difference in 1098 performance"
*	"The bike handling improves without loosing any of its directional rigor"
*	"For the keen rider willing to enrich and improve an exclusive to start with bike, like the DUCATI 1098, the handling advantage is proving decisive "
*	"Often the differences between standard and special components are so small to demand from the tester special attention to individuate differences worth of consideration. To the contrary, riding the RAM 1098 only a single circuit lap is sufficient to evidence the difference in handling induced by the sssarm alone"
*	"The RAM magnesium sssarm provides substantial performance differences which practically allow a safer, more exacting bike control in entering and riding through corners"
Whilst for the BST Mamba wheels these are the judgments:
*	"The test practice promotes full marks the BST carbon wheels solution for offering massive advantage in terms of inertia, which means vastly improved handling in all circumstances"
*	"The bike is granted an incredible agility, entering and riding through corners come up with an impressive nonchalance... even stopping distance and accelerating follow improved paces"
*	"Other performance aspects are also conspicuously enhanced, such as acceleration and braking"
*	"For the keen rider these are great advantages, much superior to any other solutions in terms of riding enjoyment"
