Ngeri! Pelek Ducati Rontok Di Kecepatan 200 Km/Jam, Pelek Karbon Dituding Gak Tahan Panas Berlebih

Otomotifnet.com - Apa jadinya lagi melaju di kecepatan tinggi, tiba-tiba terjadi  masalah di ban belakang dan kemudian terjungkal.

Hal itu benar terjadi pada biker Ducati Panigal 1299S di Amerika Serikat, yang mengejutkannya pelek Ducatinya pecah sampai bagian palang rontok semua.

Kejadian rontoknya pelek Ducati Panigale 1299S seperti diceritakan lewat Instagram milik akun @duckjockey sempat tidak percaya dengan kejadian itu.

Sampai-sampai biker itu melaporkan kalau Ducati Panigale 1299S bermasalah, namun saat ditindaklanjuti motor Ducatinya hanya diperbaiki oleh dealer setempat, termasuk pergantian dengan pergantian part.

Sedangkan Ducati pusat menungkapkan semua kerusakan tidak termasuk yang dijamin.

Banyak spekulasi dan opini terkait rontoknya pelek Ducati 1299 S.

"Ada yang bilang kaliper remnya bermasalah, pakain cairan remnya yang jelek dan sebagainya," cerita @duckjockey.

Hingga akhirnya disimpulkan bila rontoknya pelek Ducati 1299 S itu besar kemungkinan masalah di pelek karbon produksi BST (Blackstone Tek).

Supplier pelek material karbon buat motor Ducati, pemilik Ducati 1299S mensinyalir bila material karbonnya tidak kuat menahan panas dari kaliper rem sehingga merontokkan palang pelek itu.

Bahkan @duckjockey bercerita bila dirinya memang fanatikan Ducati dan sudah menggunakan Ducati sejak 20 tahun lamanya.

Namun saat mendapati masalah dengan motor Ducatinya pihak Ducati Amerika Utara sebagai APM-nya lepas tangan.

"Dibilangnya elemen yang mengalami kerusakan tidka termasuk garansi dan saya merasa ditinggal sendiri," curhat @duckjockey58.

Kronologisnya si pemilik Ducati 1299S berkendara dan di kecepatan 200 km/jam nggak merasa ada masalah coba digas malah muncul api berkobar hingga mempengaruhi rem.

Beruntung biker Ducati tidak mengalami cedera fatal.

***Panigale 1299S with BST carbon wheels alert*** My BST rear wheel came off at Chuckwalla after the rear brake dragged and eventually caught fire. The carbon wheel disintegrated and separated from the bike at approximately 130 mph on a straight. Riders that I passed saw the rear wheel/hub glowing red and on fire before it came off. There was no indication of any performance degradation at all before the incident. Many have speculated about the cause... Rear sets, dragging toe on brake lever, bad fluid etc. Those factors (and more) have been eliminated. The bike is only serviced by the dealer and parts are only purchased through the dealer. These wheels are the same ones found on the Superleggera factory delivered bike. A serious condition exists where this can potentially be fatal. I have owned every generation of Ducati Superbike for more than 20 years, beginning with the 851. I still have many of them and they are meticulously maintained by certified technicians, yet this still happened. Beware of rear caliper issues and beware of the risk of carbon fiber wheels potentially exposed to excessive rear brake heat. Unfortunately, Ducati North America “sees no element that can lead to a Ducati responsibility in the event”. Warranty will not cover this. You’re on your own! Anyone who witnessed this happen at Chuckwalla, feel free to DM me and share your info please. I am extremely disappointed that this happened, but even more disappointed that I have been left for dead by Ducati after being a loyal Ducati family member my entire adult life. I truly hope that this doesn’t happen to anyone else.
