Ducati Multistrada 1200

The Ducati Multistrada 1200 is a Ducati motorcycle made since 2010 whose engine is a retuned version of the Testastretta from the 1198 superbike, called the Testastretta 11 degree for its reduced valve overlap. Every model has throttle by wire, adjustable traction control and four selectable engine modes, Sport, Touring, Urban and Enduro, which switch between full power and a reduced 100 horsepower with softer throttle response. It was sold in a base trim and in S Sport and S Touring versions, the S models adding electronically adjustable Ohlins suspension and, on the Touring, heated grips, hard luggage and a centre stand. More than 10,000 were sold in its first year, and the machine won the 1205 division of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in 2010, 2011 and 2012. For 2015 the bike was redesigned with Desmodromic Variable Timing and a claimed 160 horsepower, plus an inertial measurement unit that enabled cornering ABS and wheelie control, and in 2018 it took the 1262 cc motor from the Diavel under the designation 1260.
