It held an 898 cc engine and was launched to the public in 2013. The 899 replaced the previous Ducati 848 model. The 899 Panigale, like other Ducati models was named after Borgo Panigale, a northern Italian city. While production of the 899 did stop in late 2015, many people all over the world are still in possession of them.

It has a two-sided swingarm which is different than the 1199 that had a single-sided one. Ducati announced the two-sided swingarm was due to other improvements that the 899 was given.

Ducati also announced that the 899 was the first medium sized motorbike released by them to hold a Superquadro engine – a 90 degree, V-twin four-stroke engine that has a desmodromic valve system with four valves per cylinder.
