DUCATI Multistrada 1200 S Touring Testastretta 11° DS 2009 - Present

DUCATI Multistrada 1200 S Touring Testastretta 11° DS (2009 - Present) Description & History: Equipped with the active suspension system Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DSS), the S Touring is specifically designed for touring. In terms of equipment level, the focus is on comfort and functionality. Center stand, heated grips and color-matched 58-liter side panniers come as standard equipment.

The new Multistrada family introduces the second generation of Testastretta 11° DS engines with several new features that make it even smoother and more tractable. Dual Spark ignition (DS) uses two plugs per cylinder to ensure complete combustion in very short time. The fuel injectors have been relocated to aim the jet of fuel directly at the hotter rear end of the suction valve, so that all fuel is atomized. A secondary air system similar to that of the 1199 Panigale has been introduced to optimize operation and reduce cyclic combustion variability without affecting emissions. A controlled flow of fresh air is supplied to the exhaust duct to enable complete oxidization of hot unburnt gases, to effectively reduce hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide levels.

The Multistrada 1200 S Touring 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 S Touring at least as much as Ducati did building it.
