DUCATI MULTISTRADA 1200: SETTING A NEW STANDARD
As soon as it was launched back in 2010, the Multistrada 1200 revolutionised the motorcycling world by
offering, for the very first time, nothing less than four bikes in one: from super sport to long-distance tourer,
from everyday runabout to enduro. Now, Ducati’s technological expertise has produced a new generation
of Multistradas, bikes featuring the latest Ducati Testastretta DVT (Desmodromic Variable Timing)
engine and a state-of-the-art technological package that sets a whole new standard in its product
segment. The new Multistrada 1200 is the “multibike” par excellence, with cutting-edge technology making it
far more than just the 4-bikes-in-1 offered by its Riding Modes.
In what is a first for the motorcycle industry, the DVT engine features a variable valve timing system with
independent control of both the intake and exhaust camshafts. This optimises engine performance
throughout the power range in all riding conditions, thus ensuring maximum power at high rpm, fluid
delivery, punchy low-rpm torque and low fuel consumption in full compliance with the latest Euro 4
regulations.
The new Multistrada 1200 also sets a new electronics benchmark thanks to the Inertial Measurement Unit
(IMU) which dynamically measures roll, yaw and pitch angles as well as the rate of their change; with this
information, the IMU enhances both performance and safety. For example, the presence of the IMU enables
the ABS to include a Cornering system capable of controlling braking even on bends where wheel lock could
otherwise cause skidding. On the Multistrada 1200 S it also enables control the Ducati Cornering Lights
(DCL) in its full LED headlamp. Moreover, the IMU has allowed the introduction of Ducati Wheelie Control
(DWC): this detects and corrects any front wheel lift to ensure maximum acceleration in complete safety.
Like Ducati Traction Control (DTC), DWC features rider-settable 8-level sensitivity. Lastly, the IMU inertial
platform also interacts with the semi-active Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DSS) Evolution (DSS) control
system featured on the Multistrada 1200 S.
All models now feature Electronic Cruise Control, which the rider can set as desired using controls
incorporated in the switchgear on the left handlebar. On the S version a Bluetooth module is included as
standard: this activates the Ducati Multimedia System and can connect the bike to a smartphone for user-
friendly control of basic functions such as receiving incoming calls, notification of text messages, or playing
music via the handlebar controls and on-dash info. Thanks to an iOS/Android app, the Bluetooth connection
lets riders use bike data to activate other functions which enhance, extend or let them share their everyday
riding or touring experiences; the app even allows interaction with the ducati.com website and social
networks.
