Multistrada 1200

So the sheet has come off and we now see what the new Multi looks like as well as obtain some hints of it's road-going (or not) purpose.



Here are the tech specs:
  • 4 valve L-Twin (vs. the previous style's 2 valve air-cooled motor) liquid cooled
  • 150HP @ 9250 RPM / 87.5 lb-ft @7500 (!!!)
  • Wet clutch
  • Marzocchi 50mm or Ohlins 48mm fully adjustable fron forks / sachs monoshock or Ohlins electronic (choice depends on which of the three trim levels is being ridden)
  • 417 lbs
  • 850mm seat height
Apparently the bike can cycle between sport, touring, urban and enduro modes with the press of a mode button the handlebar. I don't know how that works, but Ducati apparently believes that a cartoon can explain it all...





With an electronic suspension system and computer controlled power management, this is a very ambitious bike to come from the Borgo Panigale crew.
