Model-Year & Chassis Generation Notes
2009–2010 1100/S ran a dry clutch and dual-spark heads; 2011–2013 EVO switched to a wet APTC slipper clutch, single-spark 100 hp heads, side exhausts, and DTC.
Oil & Clutch Mechanical Engineering Note
First air-cooled Ducati 2-valve to hit 100 hp; oil-cooler circuit brings filter-change capacity to 3.7 L of full-synthetic SAE 15W-50 JASO MA2.
