The Monoscocca RR's 7.18 kg is fine, not exceptional — no gram-weenie flex here. That number is the tell: Ducati isn't chasing a weight record, it's building for stiffness and power transfer through a single-mould carbon monocoque, made entirely in-house by Gruppo Zecchetto, the group behind Cipollini, DMT and Alé. That's a real manufacturing alliance, not a badge job, and it's a step past Ducati's 2005 tube-to-tube Bianchi collaboration. Elia Viviani led development on the road range, with Vincenzo Nibali advising — signs this is aimed at riders who want Italian craftsmanship and ride quality over a spec-sheet arms race.
