PQube, Bristol (27 November 2014) – Milestone s.r.l., Italy's premier videogame developer for console and PC, and world leader in the development of videogames dedicated to the world of motorcycling, launches a new unveiling trailer dedicated to DUCATI and its 1199 Superleggera, playable in RIDE, Milestone's first ever proprietary IP (Intellectual Property) - due to launch spring 2015 on Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system, Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft, Windows PC, Steam, PlayStation®3 and PlayStation®4.

The DUCATI 1199 Superleggera: this is the most extreme street bike ever created. Crafted in magnesium, carbon fibre and titanium, it boasts the best power-to-weight ratio in the entire history of production motorcycles. It was manufactured in just 500 units, each embellished with its own unique serial number engraved on the steering head. The components of the bike have been made even more exceptional in accordance with the founding philosophy of the Superleggera project: take the combination of minimum weight and maximum performance all the way to the edge, and beyond.

That Ducati have achieved this goal can be read in the lines of the 1199 Superleggera: sleek and aggressive, the bike was designed on the basis of the technical specifications and layout of the Ducatis that take part in the Superbike World Championship. The delirious attention to detail is clear in the shape of the carbon fairing, modelled in accordance with the aerodynamic profile normally associated with the streamlined "aero-kit" fairings on the "R" models. The carbon fibre fairing, with its unmistakable Racing Red livery, envelopes the muscular heart of the 1199 Superleggera, leaving no doubt as to the performance levels of the bike.

The 1199 Superleggera is an engineer's dream made real. It takes the riding experience to a higher level. Ducati have created a motorcycle that wouldn't feel out of place among its racing bikes, and that is testimony to Ducati's tireless commitment to manufacturing the best sportbikes in the world (for more information see http://project1201.ducati.com/explore).
