# Commemorative Carbon Fiber Motorbikes This Ducati Motorbike Celebrates Sporty Italian Design By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-07-07 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-motorbikes References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/ducati-panigale-1299-s-anniversario/44200/) & [ducatiusa](http://www.ducatiusa.com/index.do) Ducati motorbikes are known to be some of the most prized motorcycles around, and this impression is set to be heightened even further with the release of the gorgeous Ducati 1299 Panigale S Anniversario -- a motorbike that celebrates the Italian brand's 90th birthday. This particular Ducati motorbike comes fitted with carbon fiber heel guards, shock-absorbers and mudguards, enabling it to keep its weight down to around 6 pounds less than that of the regular Panigale. The bike's low weight is also the result of a titanium exhaust system. In terms of appearance, this Ducati motorbike sports a red, black and white color scheme that is designed to help it maintain an eye-catching presence. This is certainly a motorbike that speaks to Italian motorbike design prowess and thoughtful engineering. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Commemorative Motorbikes:** Commemorative motorbikes that celebrate milestones are becoming increasingly popular and can provide opportunities for creative design and engineering. - **Carbon Fiber Components:** Motorbike manufacturers are increasingly using carbon fiber components to reduce weight and enhance performance. - **Distinctive Color Schemes:** Distinctive and eye-catching color schemes are a growing trend in the motorbike industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Motorcycle Manufacturing:** Motorcycle manufacturers have an opportunity to create unique, limited-edition bikes that celebrate milestones. - **Carbon Fiber Production:** As the use of carbon fiber components in motorbikes continues to rise, the carbon fiber production industry has an opportunity to grow. - **Automotive Design:** The trend towards distinctive color schemes in motorbikes presents opportunities for automotive designers to showcase their creativity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Anniversary-Honoring Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-panigale-v4-tricolore.md) - [Ultra-Luxe Italian Superbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panigale.md) - [Leather-Adorned Italian Superbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xdaviel-nera.md) - [Limited-Edition Tri-Color Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-monster-30th-anniversario-edition.md) - [Custom Aluminum Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-821.md) - [Carbon-Framed Electric Mountain Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-powerstage-rr-limited-edition.md) - [Italian Luxury-Leather Motorbike Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xdiavel-nera.md) - [High-End Titanium Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ccm.md) - [Limited-Run E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerstage-rr.md)
