The ST3 features the potent 1000 L-Twin Desmo3 engine and the confidence-inspiring Ducati Trellis frame. With pre-load adjustable 43mm upside-down Showa forks and a fully adjustable Sachs rear shock, the ST3 is equally at ease on twisty mountain roads and cross-country tours.
The exclusive height adjustable exhaust system allows maximum ground clearance when the saddlebags are removed and the high performance Brembo braking system ensures spirited performance whatever the situation. Both rider and passenger enjoy a comfortable riding position and colour-coordinated panniers (optional extra) make the ST3 just perfect --whatever your destination.
