Ducati returns in 2013 with its middleweight sportbike, the 848EVO, as a carryover model. The only change for the 2013 year is the color scheme offered on the Corse Special Edition.

For 2013, the 848EVO Corse SE arrives with a lightweight aluminum fuel tank, and is dressed in Ducati Corse Test Team matte black and matte grey livery. And like last year's model, the Corse SEl receives further upgrades, arriving with Ohlins rear suspension, Ducati Traction Control, Ducati Quick Shift, and 330mm brake discs.

The standard 2013 Corse SE returns in Ducati Red with a red frame and black wheels, Dark Stealth with a black frame and black wheels, and Arctic White with a red frame and red wheels.

The 848 received the "EVO" treatment in 2011, the engine up six horsepower to create 140 horsepower at 10,500 rpm, and 72.3 ft. lbs. of torque at 9,750 rpm. And this power is all delivered aboard one of Ducati's lightest sportbike chassis; the 2013 848EVO weighs in at 370 lbs. dry.
