One time development of Ducati 916 with family model is able to be traced back to the development of the four valve Ducati engine, through the development and racing of the earlier Pantah models, to the road-going 851 and 888 models.
Ducati's chief designer motorcycles since the 1970 was the late Fabio Taglioni (1920-2001). He introduced the Pantah in 1979. And it was engine was updated in the 1990s in the SuperSport (SS) series and all modern Ducati engines are derivatives of the Pantah, which employed a set of revolving cams to actuate the engine's valves (eliminating valve springs), called desmodromic. Ducati is currently the only motorcycle manufacturer which uses this type of valve actuation
