DUCATI Multistrada 1200 Testastretta 11° (2009 - Present) Description & History: The Multistrada 1200 promises a lot of fun for 2013, as it boasts the most advanced technology Ducati has to offer, in terms of engine performance, riding comfort, power and versatility. Whether on the highway or on the forest roads, you'll most likely enjoy riding the Multistrada 1200 at least as much as Ducati did building it.
Ducati's four-bikes-in-one concept is achieved by selecting from a choice of four preset Riding Modes programmed to instantly change the engine character and the riding parameters of the Multistrada 1200 - even while riding. The four modes are made possible by combining a number of class-leading technologies. An electronic Ride-by-Wire (RbW) system administers different mappings to regulate power delivery by interpreting the rider's throttle input, while the world-beating Ducati Traction Control system (DTC) uses eight levels of system interaction to enhance control by reducing wheel-spin.
For 2013, ABS is also programmed to offer the optimum setting appropriate to the Riding Mode selected and, for the ‘S' versions, Sachs electronic suspension front and rear not only configures the suspension set-up with Riding Mode appropriate electronic adjustment, but Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DSS) now also instantly reacts to additional inputs to maintain overall vehicle composure for a smoother ride.
