The Desmosedici Stradale engine is a 90° V4 with Desmodromic timing, just like the Desmosedici GP from
which it also takes an 81 mm bore (the maximum allowed by MotoGP rules). This has been combined with a
longer stroke than that used in racing (giving a total displacement of 1,103 cm3) to boost low-to-mid rev
torque and reduce maximum revs so that the power is easier to handle. The new Ducati engine puts out a
maximum of 214 hp at 13,000 rpm, making the Panigale V4 the most powerful bike in the segment, yet easy
to handle thanks to a torque of 12.6 Kgm at 10,000 rpm. Despite such outstanding performance, the
Desmosedici Stradale has long maintenance intervals, with valve clearance inspection only necessary every
24,000 km.

Not a new technology. Plus side: Pretty well eliminates valve float at high rpm. Minus side: Adds a lot of high stress and precision fit components. Believe MercBenz played with this in the 50's/60's in their race cars. Pretty pricey!!
