Infinite variations
The award-winning Ducati Multistrada 1200 and successful moves into 2011 with a result
innovative concept and has established itself as a new reference. The combination of innovative design and technology unprecedented in the Multistrada sport, media, Touring, Urban and Enduro allow customizable driving really nice and separated by a single click.
The vanguard of four motor-in-one instant makes adjustments to the power and torque to establish the electronic configuration of the suspension and traction control, the transformation of the needs of the Multistrada 1200 the pilot, and not vice versa.
Hailed as a real bike "is going to change," the technologically advanced Multistrada 1200 has attracted all sorts of drivers by opening the borders between the categories of motorcycles.
With 150 hp engine Testastretta 11 °, with a weight class, only 189 kg dry (417 lbs) and the application of ergonomics, the Multistrada 1200 is not only powerful and playful, but also a comfortable and versatile adventure on two wheels.
Multi Strada 1200 offers optional ABS, while the flagship Multi Strada 1200 S ABS Ducati and presenting electronic Öhlins suspension as standard equipment. The 1200 S is available in "Sport Edition" with components made of carbon fiber or "Tour Edition" with hand luggage, heated grips and center stand.
Four-wheel-in-one
Cycles of four-in-one concept is achieved by choosing, even while driving, from a choice of four pre-and
space program to quickly change the character of the engine and chassis, the establishment of the Multi Strada 1200
The four functions are made possible by the combination of a number of technology class.
An electronic ride-by-Wire (RBW), the system manages different assignments to regulate the transfer of power by the interpretation of the gas inlet of the pilot, while the global control system to beat Ducati traction ( DTC) uses eight-level system interaction to improve control by reducing wheel spin. For the "S" version, Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES), by Öhlins, instantly configure the settings for the electronically controlled suspension. At the touch of a button, four different bikes to meet the specific needs of the rider and not the reverse.
Sport
The sport mode, the driver can tour with an adrenaline sport 150cv driven throttle response and the "S" version, an immediate high-performance suspension set-up. In character of his lineage Superbike sport mode also changes the response of the DTC to 4 for experienced riders as "comfort zone" is a little closer to the limit.
Touring
Touring the riding mode is also programmed to produce 150 hp, but the power properties of the design configuration in a tour with a smoother, more user-friendly delivery. Active safety is enhanced by the increase in the DTC system response at 5, designed for an enjoyable and relaxing, and "S" version, the automatic suspension of calls in an ideal configuration for a long trip distance, ensuring maximum comfort for the driver and passenger.
Urban
By navigating the urban jungle may require a more bike-friendly, urban riding in multi immediately turns Strada 1200 to more manageable, daily transportation. Output power is reduced to 100 hp, and the suspension of the "S" version, a setting, perfect for tackling the maze of streets full of bumps and manhole covers. DTC is further enhanced at 6 to provide the system's response up in the most chaotic of the stop-start traffic.
Enduro
If you travel on board the Multi Strada 1200 leaves off the beaten track, has the ability to take off-road to the winner. Agile and lightweight, and high, wide handlebars, serrated foot pegs, and tires specially designed, multi-Road Enduro is also the mode that produces 100hp engine is still an instant, just call, the correct configuration of the suspension, the "S" version, and reduce the DTC system, Level 2 minimum intervention.
The innovative technology
Ride-by-Wire
Ride-by-Wire (RBW) of the system is an electronic interface between the handle and the motor
decisions about the ideal of power depending on the selected mode and the horse as directed by the pilot
gas inlet. The twist grip is no longer a throttle cable connected directly to the butterfly throttle body, but rather provides a signal to a control unit, which in turn causes the throttle opening.
RBW system uses three different descriptions of regulated power delivery. Three maps offer
Delivery and sports-style 150hp, 150hp progressive delivery for its visitors and 100 hp delivered progressive urban or off-road use.
Ducati Traction Control
Racing-derived from the Ducati Traction Control (DTC) is a very clever system, which acts as a filter between the right hand of the rider and the rear tire. In a few milliseconds, the DTC is able to detect and then check the rear wheel-spin, greatly increasing the wheel of active safety and performance.
The system has eight "levels of sensitivity," each with a standard program of tolerance rear wheels turn in line with progressive levels of riding skills rated from one to eight. Level is set to offer less interaction during use of the eight levels and the amount of interaction. DTC is an integral part of pre-programmed modes both sides of the Multistrada 1200.
The system uses sensors front and rear wheels to compare differential speed and direction when the rear grip is broken (wheel-spin). DTC then decide the best combination of two different types of instant electronic adjustment, calculated with data from several sources.
The first "soft" phase of the interaction of the system is administered by a high speed software that allows instant-on power-adjustable, the administration of varying amounts of delay ignition to reduce engine torque.
If the DTC, the software detects that the first phase of "soft" system of interaction is the lack of control
slip, it will continue to manage the ignition is retarded, and also to drive the engine control unit
the launch of a model of steady increase in cutting fuel until, if necessary, cut the complete injection.
The red lights all the way to drive the circular section of the instrumentation lights to indicate
interaction with the DTC system. Once the system detects a gradual return of decent bikes
speed, it gradually restores the normal diet. This seamless interaction is the key
smooth operation of the system.
The real innovative thinking on how the DTC system is different in different levels of sensitivity to decide exactly how to react to excessive wheel spin at the wheel a precise understanding of "dynamic situation." Significantly slower mid-corner acceleration of the vehicle goes around the corner quickly, while almost standing, this intelligent system "is obtained by processing data in a few milliseconds.
DTC levels are adjusted at the factory in each of the four modes of behavior, but can be individually adapted and recorded in accordance with the driver by accessing the setup menu each driving mode. A 'default' option is available to easily return all settings to factory pre-sets.
Öhlins electronic suspension Ducati
The "S" version of the Multistrada 1200 features the latest generation of Öhlins fork with 48 mm of innovative electronic suspension Ducati (DES). New technology allows fork rebound and compression damping is electronically controlled through the instrument panel. The top of the range Öhlins TTX rear shock is also electronically adjustable spring preload and rebound and compression.
The electronic suspension adjustment can be done easily using the preset modes constituency, which was developed by Ducati test riders, or independently, allowing riders to use their own personal settings. The settings made electronically send a signal that starts electronic actuators mounted on the suspension units.
In addition to equestrian, tourism, planning and endurance, there is also an opportunity to quickly
change the setting for the suspension "alone" costume, "rider with luggage", "driver and passenger" or "driver and passenger with luggage."

Engine
Testastretta 11 °: the ideal travel companion
The heart of the highly complex and innovative Multi Strada 1200 project is the engine and as a prestigious model, the bike has to be driven by the most advanced and developed two cylinders out of the factory Ducati. Testastretta Evoluzione engine that fueled the 1198th famous world beat
The challenge was to produce an engine that would be fun to use in all conditions and able to adapt to the character of the driver and not the reverse. Make the best ever, engine performance L-Twin smoother and more user-friendly was a challenge, but designers and engineers innovative Ducati up the challenge by designing the revolutionary 11 ° Testastretta engine. Their performance was able to harness the enormous power of the Superbike engine, making it smooth and flexible to meet any occasion, a big step forward in the balance of performance and ease of use.
Why 11 °?
For a bike designed for touring, the softness and ease of engine is the key
To achieve a smooth and comfortable and feature the main engine that has allowed this
installation was to control the valve at the top at each corner.
The angle of overlap is defined as the interval of crankshaft rotation, measured in degrees, during which both intake and exhaust are open at once. This overlap occurs between the end of the exhaust stroke and the beginning of the intake stroke. High efficiency motors, which are subject to
compromising the softness of delivering extreme power, the use of high values of this parameter to
advantage of the pressure waves to improve engine performance by maximizing the volumetric efficiency.
In 11 of the Testastretta engine ·, this angle was reduced by 41 °, used in the conduct of the Testastretta Evoluzione engine in 1198, only 11 °. As a result, the inflow fresh charge less compromised by exhaust gases coming out, resulting in a much smoother combustion in addition to improved fuel economy and lower emissions. Unburned hydrocarbons (pre-catalyst) is reduced by 65% and specific fuel consumption (and thus CO2 emissions) to 12% (Euro 3).
Its 150hp and 12.1kgm (£ 87.5-ft) of torque, 11 ° Testastretta sets new standards twincylinder Ducati engines. Fluid Mechanics test ports and combustion chambers led to a power profile changed delivery, especially in torsion. The new intake and exhaust ports, combined with a radical cam timing adjustment and a slight reduction in compression ratio thanks to Ducati to get a favorable torque curve at low revs, which will remain strong through the many and varied. This special function will significantly improve the Multi Strada 1200 driving effortless.
The transmission gear ratios and final are optimized to reduce fuel consumption and
Adding, driving comfort by reducing vibration. If the 1198 Superbike has a top speed of 6 exchanges, the Multi Strada 1200 is able to achieve its 5 gears and keep the effort on track.
Multi Strada 1200 is equipped with a clutch in oil bath with function "shoes" and ultra-light feel at the lever. The design uses a self-servo mechanism that pushes progressive the plates together when the drive from the engine, thereby reducing the rate of clutch spring. The result is a clutch much lighter on the handlebar, which is ideal for stop-start traffic or on long trips. When the driving force used (deficit), the same mechanism reduces the pressure on the clutch plates so they can deliver a race like the "shoes" of action, which reduces the destabilizing effect of the wheel Back aggressive downshifting and provides a much smoother feel when closing the throttle or downshifting in normal conditions.
The design of the exhaust system, which is simple and minimalist, uses two main drains that flow directly into the single chamber silencer triple. In addition to providing a compensatory function 2-1-2, muffler also contains the catalyst and acoustic. The two tailpipes compact and lightweight aluminum alloy makes a low-side configuration to keep the total weight to a minimum.
Add to the road, there are important structures
Continued investment in quality design, materials and advanced engineering techniques has allowed the distance between the intervals of higher (see valve clearance) than doubled to a very competitive 24,000 km (15,000 miles). This was achieved in part by the introduction of a new seat material and partly because of improved combustion efficiency and temperature control Testastretta engine designed in the 11.
The innovative design
189 kg (417 £) Multi Raise Road
Constant weight reduction is part of the design brief for all Ducati models. Less weight allows for maximum performance, both in behavior and safety. Lighter than a motorcycle will slow in the shorter distance, accelerate faster and easier to control. Every single multi Road 1200, then, is designed to achieve weight loss without compromising load capacity.
With a dry weight of just 189 kg (417 pounds), the Multistrada 1200 is lighter than any of the road enduro, touring and sports touring bike available in this category. The lightweight chassis and an excellent introduction provides exceptional maneuverability, a key factor for sport, tourism, urban or enduro.
This weight saving the emergence of new techniques could be applied to the Ducati design and all major components. Cast housing are now using technology Vacural ® and structure of the trellis frame of welded pipes, alloying elements and hi-tech polymers. Further savings were also one-sided swing arm is aluminum and the fuel tank, which was developed using a blow molding technology in the search for the best balance between capacity and weight.
Ergonomics and comfort
Multi Strada 1200 was subjected to a thorough ergonomic using both CAD and repeated
Testing of prototypes, and provides a high level of comfort with a full load of bikes long tour at a distance.
"Ergonomic triangle", as well as the handlebars, seat and footrest is designed for both the pilot and
passengers, optimizing comfort while providing a position of command and control right.
The Multistrada 1200 feels both spacious and seats for driver and passenger comfort, even with the box above and luggage in place. Its 1530mm (60.2in) wheelbase ensures that not only the weight of the passengers remains within the length of the wheelbase, but the luggage when loaded, an important contribution to the dynamic performance of the bike.
Emphasizes its multi-tasking
intention, attention has been applied to the ergonomic design of the cockpit foot in the stirrup, off-road style.
Wide, tapered steel handlebars have been designed for maximum comfort and to ensure the dominance of driving to improve the generous steering lock of 76 ° (38 ° to the left and right). In addition, the handlebar is equipped with anti-vibration dampers, specially designed to balance comfort with a precise way to "feel".
Multi Strada 1200 seats immediately convey a sense of comfort. Built in two separate sections for both driver and passenger, the design focused on the shape and density of the cushion for maximum comfort over long distances, and user-friendly website design helps to give the direction sure-footed contact with the soil in place . Inspires confidence passenger grab handle provides a secure and comfortable grip.
The position of the footrest is a part of the ideal "ergonomic triangle" for the driver and passenger added for clearance under maximum lean angle and position of hand luggage. Footrests feature of rubber inserts to isolate vibration, removable to reveal a jagged edge motocross style that provides improved adhesion boot when riding off road.
The Multistrada 1200 reflects both the vertical and horizontal surface to provide greater visibility more effectively. Two useful storage space on board are integrated into the bike, one adapted to a mobile phone or toll tickets located on the right side panel of the cab and three-liter box under the passenger seat.
Ideal for long journeys
The 1200 Multi-Strada monitor is designed with 60mm of vertical adjustment to ensure effective wind
protection for all heights pilot and effortless long-distance driving at high speeds. The fuel tank has developed a new molding technology that enables a favorable balance between capacity and weight. Provided driving style, from 20 liters (5.3 U.S. gal) capacity to provide up to 400 km (250 miles) on a motorcycle for pleasure between fuel stops return of 47mpg (U.S.) at a constant speed of 120 kilometers per 'hour (75 mph).
Two 12V power outlets on both sides of the area below the driver's seat can be used to feed 8A (merged) accessories such as thermal underwear, intercom or cell phone chargers. In addition, a special point of connection to the power of the Garmin satellite navigation (optional) is located near the instrumentation.
The Touring edition of the Multistrada 1200 S adds even more comfort and convenience. Easy to control heated grips are great for trips where weather conditions threatening the driver comfort, while the elegant side, equipped with a load capacity of 57 liters and a quick and secure attachment to fit the "to be eliminated . In addition, a center stand gives you the confidence parking at full load and security measures for maintenance of the tires during long trips.
Sign
For Ducati, the design, not only to create an attractive look. The question is how best to combine an exciting look with smart features and excellent performance. Even Multi Strada 1200-tipped exhaust is a function that demonstrates the concept perfectly.
Its innovative design integrates well with the general shape of the bike and the position of
exhaust system improves the distribution of weight. The exhaust pipes are short not to invade the space to the side of luggage. The internal structure of the muffler is designed to meet the
Ducati sound characteristics without compromising compliance with noise and hydrocarbon emissions
standards (Euro 3).
Components that are more than just aesthetic detail, including front air inlets that characterize the face of the Multistrada and also have air oil cooler and the air box, and kept very well-formed aluminum collector plates and side to help protect the motor road.
Rear swingarm is also a good example of merging the Ducati design and functional
engineering. It is manufactured with a single piece, manufactured and welded sections creating a strong and light hole contributes significantly to the Multistrada sure-footed handling.
Light is a feature of the face of the Multi Strada 1200, the symmetrical arrangement uses four halogen lamps, two basses and two for the beam to provide excellent lighting. In addition, using the front and rear LED light side, and has a special form of intense light guide, which makes the bike more visible to other users.
Chassis
Design
All components used in the construction of the Multi Strada 1200 is the highest quality. Selection and subsequent installation is the result of a design brief based on absolute performance.
The geometry of the chassis, as the wheelbase, the length of the swingarm, and a trace of rake, and the displacement is the result of a search for the best balance between stability at high speed and dynamic agility. The chassis is designed to achieve lean angles of 45 ° and the combination of reduced weight and generous circle of 76 ° (38 ° left and right) makes tight maneuvers at low speeds manageable.
Frame
Signature Ducati trellis frame uses large-diameter, thin profiles with two central tubes and cast aluminum sub-frame trellis to get 19% more torsional rigidity than the original 1100th Multi Strada The cast magnesium high-pressure front subframe reduces weight and high front contributes to the feeling of the chassis and control.
Suspension
The standard Multi Strada 1200 uses 50mm Marzocchi fork, with a background of custom forged forks and adjustable damping complete spring preload, compression and rebound. The rear monoshock is controlled by a Sachs with adjustable compression and rebound damping and spring preload using the hand control remote control manual.
"S" version of the front and back of the Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES) Öhlins system.
48mm Öhlins forks with adjustable compression and rebound electronically, while the preload is manual. The unit of Öhlins TTX rear with twin-tube technology to provide completely separate set of compression and rebound damping and uses the experience gained in the race to minimize friction and reduce the risk of cavitation under extreme conditions. Additionally, the unit fully electronically adjustable compression and extension and spring preload.
Front and rear suspension are both versions offer the 170mm travel, extra-long movement for superior comfort, even when fully loaded or if the pilot decides to leave the off-road paved roads.
Brakes and ABS
Front brakes use dual radial mount Brembo four-piston, two pads calipers brake master cylinder with adjustable lever operated. 320 mm discs taken sides, while a 245 mm rear disc Brembo grabbed an interpreter. Typical of all the Ducatis, these components provide high-performance braking and at the forefront of this segment.
The Multistrada 1200 is also equipped with a Bosch-Brembo ABS, optional on the standard version and installed as original equipment in the "S" version. It offers exceptional performance in all conditions of braking and provides an important contribution to safety performance. An option to deactivate ABS is available through the instrumentation, but is automatically reactivated after the next power.

2011 Ducati Multi Strada 1200 Technical Details
MOTOR
Desmodromic
Incredible valve operation of our engines are only possible because of the unique Ducati desmodromic system, which activates the mechanical valve closure. At high speeds, which would be almost impossible for the valve to follow the contour of abrupt closure of the chamber if it is based on a normal valve spring. With the Desmo system the valve is mechanically closed with the same precision that opens, allowing the cam profiles and radical steep cam schedule. This system is used in every unit of energy that our only Ducati Desmosedici World Superbike and MotoGP beating engines.
15,000 miles of major services
The Multistrada 1200 was subject to more intensive development program in history. In order to raise the bar even higher, Ducati developed revolutionary new features for the four-jet-in-1 concept and went after the benchmarks in the industry to create a model that goes the distance, both literal and metaphorically.
Overdrive
The gearbox and final drive ratios have also been optimized to allow for reduced fuel consumption and achieve a greater driving comfort by reducing vibration. If the Superbike 1198 reached its top speed in sixth gear, Multi Strada 1200 is capable of reaching the fifth gear and hold effortlessly in sixth.
Emissions
The new Testastretta motor 11 °, this angle was reduced by 41 °, which is used in the Testastretta Evoluzione engine that powers the 1198, only 11 °. As a result, the entry is to charge less sweet endangered by the exhaust coming out, resulting in a smoother combustion, in addition to fuel economy and exhaust emissions. The emissions of unburned hydrocarbons (pre-catalyst) is reduced by up to 65% and specific fuel consumption (and therefore CO2 emissions) to 15% (Euro 3).
Vacural ® housings
The Testastretta 11 ° vacuum features cast iron housings, formed with Vacural ®, a process that achieves a weight saving and ensures a uniform wall thickness and increased strength.
Torque-assist slipper clutch
Multi Strada 1200 features clutch in oil bath with action "slipper" and a very light feel at the lever. Its design uses a progressive self-servo mechanism, which weighs less than when the discs in a single engine, which reduces the forces of friction spring. This leads to a much lighter clutch lever on the handlebars ideal for stop-start traffic or on long journeys. When the driving force is the opposite (over-run), the same mechanism to reduce the pressure on the clutch plates, so as to provide a race such action "strip", which reduces the instability and the back of the head less than an aggressive down-shifting and provides a much softer feel to close the gas or the down-shifting under normal driving conditions.
Ride-by-Wire
Ride-by-Wire System is a RBW electronic interface and the rotary engine, which decides the ideal of power, depending on the selected horse riding, and based on input from the driver's accelerator. Knob is no longer throttle cable connected directly to the butterflies in the body, but gives the signal to the ECU, which in turn acts as a throttle opening. RBW system uses three different descriptions of regulated power delivery. Three maps offer a 150hp with a sports-style delivery, 150hp progressive delivery is suitable for delivering 100 hp touring and progressive urban or off-road.
Exhaust System
For Ducati, the design not only creates a pleasant appearance. And 'to know the best way to combine an exciting-looking intelligent action and excellent performance. The Multi Strada 1200 exhaust pipe exhaust is a feature that demonstrates this concept perfectly. Their innovative design is well integrated with the general shape of a motorcycle, and the location of the exhaust system to improve the overall distribution of weight. Tailpipes are short, so as not to weaken the of the space for luggage. The internal structure of the muffler is designed to achieve a feature of the Ducati sound without sacrificing the sound and complies with the emission of hydrocarbons (Euro 3).
Testastretta 11 °
The desire to promote the World Superbike accessible to all led to the design and creation of new Testastretta 11 °, an engine that is a pilot at heart and ready to travel long distance or urban use in every day.

Engine
Testastretta 11 °: the ideal travel companion
The heart of the highly complex and innovative Multi Strada 1200 project is the engine and as a prestigious model, the bike has to be driven by the most advanced and developed two cylinders out of the factory Ducati. Testastretta Evoluzione engine that fueled the 1198th famous world beat
The challenge was to produce an engine that would be fun to use in all conditions and able to adapt to the character of the driver and not the reverse. Make the best ever, engine performance L-Twin smoother and more user-friendly was a challenge, but designers and engineers innovative Ducati up the challenge by designing the revolutionary 11 ° Testastretta engine. Their performance was able to harness the enormous power of the Superbike engine, making it smooth and flexible to meet any occasion, a big step forward in the balance of performance and ease of use.
Why 11 °?
For a bike designed for touring, the softness and ease of engine is the key
To achieve a smooth and comfortable and feature the main engine that has allowed this
installation was to control the valve at the top at each corner.
The angle of overlap is defined as the interval of crankshaft rotation, measured in degrees, during which both intake and exhaust are open at once. This overlap occurs between the end of the exhaust stroke and the beginning of the intake stroke. High efficiency motors, which are subject to
compromising the softness of delivering extreme power, the use of high values of this parameter to
advantage of the pressure waves to improve engine performance by maximizing the volumetric efficiency.
In 11 of the Testastretta engine ·, this angle was reduced by 41 °, used in the conduct of the Testastretta Evoluzione engine in 1198, only 11 °. As a result, the inflow fresh charge less compromised by exhaust gases coming out, resulting in a much smoother combustion in addition to improved fuel economy and lower emissions. Unburned hydrocarbons (pre-catalyst) is reduced by 65% and specific fuel consumption (and thus CO2 emissions) to 12% (Euro 3).
Its 150hp and 12.1kgm (£ 87.5-ft) of torque, 11 ° Testastretta sets new standards twincylinder Ducati engines. Fluid Mechanics test ports and combustion chambers led to a power profile changed delivery, especially in torsion. The new intake and exhaust ports, combined with a radical cam timing adjustment and a slight reduction in compression ratio thanks to Ducati to get a favorable torque curve at low revs, which will remain strong through the many and varied. This special function will significantly improve the Multi Strada 1200 driving effortless.
The transmission gear ratios and final are optimized to reduce fuel consumption and
Adding, driving comfort by reducing vibration. If the 1198 Superbike has a top speed of 6 exchanges, the Multi Strada 1200 is able to achieve its 5 gears and keep the effort on track.
Multi Strada 1200 is equipped with a clutch in oil bath with function "shoes" and ultra-light feel at the lever. The design uses a self-servo mechanism that pushes progressive the plates together when the drive from the engine, thereby reducing the rate of clutch spring. The result is a clutch much lighter on the handlebar, which is ideal for stop-start traffic or on long trips. When the driving force used (deficit), the same mechanism reduces the pressure on the clutch plates so they can deliver a race like the "shoes" of action, which reduces the destabilizing effect of the wheel Back aggressive downshifting and provides a much smoother feel when closing the throttle or downshifting in normal conditions.
The design of the exhaust system, which is simple and minimalist, uses two main drains that flow directly into the single chamber silencer triple. In addition to providing a compensatory function 2-1-2, muffler also contains the catalyst and acoustic. The two tailpipes compact and lightweight aluminum alloy makes a low-side configuration to keep the total weight to a minimum.
Add to the road, there are important structures
Continued investment in quality design, materials and advanced engineering techniques has allowed the distance between the intervals of higher (see valve clearance) than doubled to a very competitive 24,000 km (15,000 miles). This was achieved in part by the introduction of a new seat material and partly because of improved combustion efficiency and temperature control Testastretta engine designed in the 11.

The Multistrada 1200 offers an optional Bosch-Brembo ABS, which is as original equipment on the "S" version. It offers exceptional performance in all conditions of braking and provides an important contribution to safety performance. An option to deactivate ABS is available through the instrumentation, but is automatically reactivated after the next power.
Lighting
Headlight features from the front of the Multi Strada 1200, its symmetrical structure uses four halogen lamps, two shallow and two beam provides an excellent lighting. In addition, front and rear side lights use LEDs and have a special form of intense light steering, visibility motion other road users.
Magnesium alloy casing
The camera includes an increase in weight of magnesium alloy are obvious for your gold.
DTC
Racing-derived DTC is a very clever system, which acts as a filter between the right hand of the rider and the rear tire. In a few milliseconds, the DTC is able to detect and then check the rear wheel-spin, a significant increase in bicycle safety and performance. The system offers eight "sensitive", each of the programmed level of the rear wheel-spin tolerance of progressive levels of skill are classified as 1-8. Level one is programmed to provide a minimum of interaction, while the level of eight to use as much of the interaction. The DTC is an integral part of pre-programmed modes Riding Multi Strada 1200, but the setting can be adapted for the pilot.
Pirelli Scorpion Trail
Ducati's technical partner, Pirelli, worked with engineers from the Multistrada throughout the project, the development of the new Pirelli SCORPION TRAIL specifically for the Multistrada 1200. The new tires are the first composite double reading for on / off road with a compound of the center section stronger. Combined with a special design and structure of the housing section provides performance 190/55 racing on the road in terms of grip and tilt angles, while ensuring high mileage for travel and good off-road. The new generation of tires are deliberately designed for the Multistrada four bikes in a single concept.
Adjustable display
The 1200 Multi-Strada monitor is designed with 60mm of vertical adjustment to ensure effective protection against the wind for all rider heights and effortless high-speed driving over long distances.
Sockets
Two 12V power outlets located on either side of the area under the rider's seat can be used to power up to 8A (molten) accessories such as thermal underwear, intercom or cell phone chargers. In addition, a special connection point to provide Garmin satellite navigation (optional) close to the instrumentation.
On-board computer
On-board computer system consists of a large LCD display for high visibility with key data and the circular dot matrix LCD displays the different functions, depending on whether the wheel is stationary or moving.
Stowage
Two useful storage space on board are integrated into the bike, suitable for mobile phones or toll tickets located on the right side panel of the cab and a larger area of 3 liters under the seat of a passenger.
CONCEPT

Active safety is now available with an advanced ABS system, but so Touring, which is reinforced by a growing role in a specific DTC for a relaxing stroll.
Urban
As the navigation of the urban jungle can take a bike easier to use, urban driving mode instantly transformed into more manageable Multistrada 1200, transport every day is possible and desirable. Output is set to 100 hp and the DTC is even greater to provide greater intervention in the chaotic start-stop traffic.
Endless transformation
The new Ducati Multistrada 1200 combines innovative design and technology to deliver unprecedented four in a motorcycle. Sport, Touring, Urban and modes of resistance now allow customizable driving really nice and separated by a single click. The innovative design makes adjusting the instantaneous power and torque to establish the electronic configuration of the suspension and traction control, the transformation of the needs of the Multistrada 1200 rider and not the reverse.
