The 2005 Ducati ST4S ABS builds upon the already impressive ST4S by adding the safety net of anti-lock brakes. It shares the same potent 996cc, four-valve engine that produces 89.1 HP at 9500 rpm and 105 Nm of torque at 7250 rpm, providing ample power for both spirited riding and comfortable touring. The engine's responsiveness and smooth power delivery make it a joy to ride in a variety of conditions. The six-speed gearbox allows for precise gear selection.
The ergonomics remain consistent with the ST4S, featuring an 820mm seat height and a 21-liter fuel tank for long-distance comfort. The Showa 43mm upside-down front forks, fully adjustable and treated with TiN, ensure excellent handling and control. The addition of ABS provides an extra layer of confidence, especially in challenging road conditions. However, the ABS system adds a bit of weight, bringing the total to 206 kg.
This version is perfect for riders who prioritize safety without sacrificing performance. It appeals to experienced riders who appreciate the added security of ABS, particularly those who frequently ride in unpredictable weather or on less-than-perfect road surfaces. The ST4S ABS offers a well-rounded package that combines Ducati performance with enhanced safety features.
