Paul Smart Replica - the investment you can enjoy while it appreciates

The Paul Smart uses a new black-finish stainless steel exhaust system. The system features distinctive stacked twin silencers on the right-hand side of the bike.

The lines and colours of the silencers take their styling cue from the exhausts used on race bikes of the 60’s and 70’s.

The two manifolds, which are joined by a compensation tube on which the lambda probe is mounted, are connected to the stacked twin silencers, which are fixed to the frame by means of a trellis support in chromed steel.

The Paul Smart Replica and its Sport brethren are the first Ducati models to comply with EURO 3 anti-pollution standards: the lambda probe inside the compensation tube of the two exhaust manifolds combines with two trivalent catalysers housed in the two silencers. The function of the lambda probe is to measure the oxygen in the exhaust gases and then, via the engine control unit, calibrate the mixture ratio during specific engine operating conditions. The two trivalent catalysers oxidise the unburnt hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, and reduce the nitrogen oxide.

Electronics

The three SportClassics have a new layout for the electrical system, which helps to conceal the wiring while giving users easy access to all the main components of the system.

The main components of the system, i.e. the ECU, fuses and voltage regulator, are located beneath the seat, in the bottom of which there is a spacious storage compartment.

A Magneti Marelli 5AM engine control unit manages the fuel injection and ignition of the 1000 DS engine. The control unit, which is housed under the rear of the seat, is very compact and features a re-programmable Flash EPROM. It also contains the power circuits for the two ignition coils with a double output (each coil is connected to the two spark plugs of each cylinder) and the two very compact PICO series fuel injectors (one per cylinder).
