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.
Innovative four-wheel-in-one makes for instant adjustment of power and torque, suspension settings and electronic control of traction control, changing the Multi Strada 1200 needs help, not vice versa.
Hailed as a real bike "game-changing", technologically advanced Multi Strada 1200 is attracted to all types of riders at the opening of borders between the classes running.
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.
The Multistrada 1200 has the optional ABS, while the flagship S ABS Ducati Multistrada 1200 and Öhlins electronic suspension as standard equipment. The S 1200 is available for the "Sport Edition" with carbon fiber components or "Touring Edition" with the face of luggage, heated grips and center stand.
Four-wheel-in-one
Four-wheel-in-one concept is achieved by selecting, even while driving, you can choose from four pre-
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 (LBR) system manages different mappings to adjust the delivery of input power by interpreting the driver gas, while the global leader in traction control (DTC) uses eight levels of interaction of the system to improve control by reducing wheel spin. For the "S" version, Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES), the Öhlins suspension immediately configure the set-up with electronic control. At the touch of a button, four different bikes to suit the 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.
Travel
Touring driving mode is also planned to produce 150 hp, but most features are designed to tour with the composition of the delivery smoother, more user-friendly. Active safety is improved by increasing the DTC intervention system to level 5, which are intended to provide guidance pleasant and relaxing, and "S" version, the suspension automatically dials-in the establishment of a long ideal tour distance, to ensure maximum comfort for both rider 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 the Multistrada 1200 trip out of the beaten track, which has the ability to take the path off the road in its path. Agile and lightweight, high and wide handlebars, footrests and jagged specially designed tires, the Multistrada Enduro also has a mode that produces 100 hp engine soft snap, immediately called a suspension in the appropriate version "S" and reduces DTC system for level 2 of minimal intervention.
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
150 hp with a delivery-type sport, 150 hp with a progressive delivery suitable for touring and 100 hp with progressive delivery of the city or off road.
Ducati Traction Control
Traction Control Ducati racing products (DTC) is a very intelligent, which acts as a filter between the driver's right hand and the rear tire. In milliseconds, DTC is able to detect and control the rotation of the rear-wheel, which dramatically increases the active safety of the bicycle and performance.
The system offers eight "sensitivity levels", each programmed with a tolerance level of the wheel-spin in line with progressive levels of riding skills rated 1-8. Level one is programmed to provide the least amount of interaction, and eight levels of as much user interaction. DTC is an integral part of the preset modes straddle the 1200th Multi Strada
The system uses sensors on the front and rear differential to compare the speed and direction when the rear grip has been broken (wheel-spin). DTC decide the best combination of two different types of instant electronic adjustment, calculated with data from multiple sources.
The first "soft" phase of interaction with the system software developed at high speed setting that allows instant electronic ignition, administering varying amounts of delay ignition reducing engine torque.
If the software detects that the first DTC "soft" phase of interaction with the control system is insufficient to
wheels spin, it continues to administer a delayed ignition charge and also the engine ECU
the launch of a model of steady increase in cutting fuel until, if necessary, cut the complete injection.
The red lights around the circular section of the instrumentation for riding whales show
interaction with the DTC system. Once the system detects a gradual return of decent bikes
speed, gradually re-establishing normal power delivery. 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 the Sport mode, Touring, Urban and Enduro also has the ability to quickly
change the setting of the suspension to meet "the only rider", "pilot with luggage", "driver and a passenger" or "pilot and the baggage of a passenger".
Hands-free power
The Multistrada 1200 ignition key does not work with normal. Instead, an electronic key in the pocket of the driver communicates with the Multistrada, when a distance of about 2 meters (6.5 feet) in recognition of dedicated keys and the code automatically activating systems motorcycle. Pressing the key switch in all activation systems, and "on" and the engine is ready to be launched.
The electronic key, which is an internal circuit of radio, outdoor double as flip-mechanical key needed to open the seat and fuel tank cap. When the park a bicycle locking device can be operated electronically on the direction, simply by applying full steering lock and pressing the power button a second time off.
Instrumentation
The instrument has a large LCD high-profile shows all the key data and a dot matrix LCD shows the circular driving patterns, additional data or set menus, depending on whether the bike is stationary or moving.
The main LCD displays the data rate, rpm, speed, mileage, trip1/trip2 the engine coolant temperature, fuel level and time. When the bike is running, the screen dot matrix LCD shows the selected driving mode, fuel is / remote fuel consumption, average fuel consumption, average speed, air temperature, time travel and the "freezing conditions "of the alarm. When it stops, goes into a menu, where the settings for the various functions can be performed, including personal development and the DTC in the "S" version, the configuration of the suspension.
Sport, Touring, Enduro, or urban areas may be changed, stopped or in motion, and load settings ", the only rider", "pilot with luggage", "driver and a passenger" or "rider and baggage the passenger. "
Engine
Testastretta 11 °: the ideal travel companion
Heart of a complex and innovative project Multi Strada 1200 is the engine, and the model of prestige, a motorcycle was powered by the most advanced, sophisticated twin-cylinder engine to come out of the factory Ducati. Testastretta Evoluzione engine, a power player in the world 1198
However, the challenge was to produce an engine that would be great to use in all circumstances and is able to adapt to the nature of the driver and not the other way. Making the best ever performance of the L-Twin engine smoother and more user-friendly was a challenge, but the designers and engineers innovative Ducati has met the challenge by designing a revolutionary Testastretta 11 °. The realization of these is able to leverage the enormous power of the Superbike engine, so it is soft and adaptable to any occasion, be a significant step forward in balancing performance and usability.
Why 11 °?
Motorcycle touring, and the smoothness of the ease of use is the key to the engine
a walk with ease and comfort and feature the main engine that has allowed this
configuration was the revision of the valve overlap angle.
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
sacrificing the smooth delivery of power to extreme high values of this parameter should
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).
With 150 hp and 12.1kgm (£ 87.5 ft) of torque, 11 ° Testastretta sets new standards for engines twincylinder Ducati. Ports test fluid dynamics and combustion chambers gives a couple of power profile changed delivery specific. New intake and exhaust, combined with a radical adjustment of the timing and slightly lower compression ratio allowed Ducati to achieve a torque curve at low revs favorable, which remain solid through a long series. This feature significantly improves the Multi Strada 1200-century, effortless handling.
The gear ratios and final drive have also been optimized to allow for reduced fuel consumption and
driving comfort by reducing vibration. If the 1198 Superbike reached its top speed in sixth gear, the Multistrada 1200 is able to reach the fifth and effortless maintenance in the sixth.
The Multistrada 1200 has an oil-bath clutch with "slipper" function and super-light feel at the lever. The design uses a servo-mechanism which presses the plates together progressive when under the action of the motor, allowing the reduction of the spring clutch. The result is a clutch lever on the handlebars a lot lighter, ideal for stop-start traffic or on long trips. When the motor is reversed (run), the same mechanism that reduces the stress on the clutch plates, allowing them to provide the action of a race-like "shoe", which reduces the destabilizing effect on aggressive back down change and provides much smoother feeling when you close the throttle or downshifting in normal conditions.
Layout of the exhaust system, which is simple and minimalist, with two primary flows directly to an exhaust manifold triple. In addition, 2-1-2 compensator to perform the function, muffler, catalytic converter, and also includes a voice-absorbent. Two small, lightweight aluminum alloy tubing to leave low-end, side to side to keep the overall weight of the composition to a minimum.
Add to the road, there are important structures
Significant investment in quality design, materials and advanced technologies, has allowed greater distance from the service (check the game), highly competitive doubles 24000 km (15000 miles). This was part of a new valve seat material and partly improved combustion efficiency and temperature management is designed in the # 11 of the Testastretta engine.
The innovative design
189 kg (417 lb) Multi Strada sets the standard
Constantly weight reduction is part of the design guidelines for all Ducati models. Less weight, allows a maximum yield in terms of driving dynamics and safety. A lighter bicycle brake in a shorter distance, accelerate faster and easier to navigate. Each component of the Multistrada 1200, therefore, is designed to reduce weight without compromising load capacity.
It weighs only 189 kg dry (£ 417) Multi Strada 1200 is lighter than any other road enduro, touring or sport touring bike is currently available in this category. Lightweight and a great start of the set-up ensures exceptional handling, a key role in the Sport, Touring, Enduro or urban riding.
This weight gain is the result of the application of new technologies for the design and construction of all major components Ducati. Carters are now cast user Vacural ® technology and design of the chassis uses welded wire mesh tubes, cast aluminum components and hi-tech polymers. Additional savings were also made with single-sided aluminum fuel tank, which is developed using the technology of blow molding in the hunt for the optimum balance between capacity and weight.
Ergonomics and comfort
Multi Strada 1200 was subjected to a thorough ergonomic using both CAD and repeated
prototype testing, which ensures a high level of comfort with a fully loaded bike long distance tour.
"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.
Multi Strada 1200 feels spacious and has room for driver and passenger in comfort, even with the upper and hand luggage in place. Its 1530mm (60.2in) wheelbase ensures that not only the weight of passengers are still inside the wheelbase, but also for hand baggage loading, a significant contribution to the dynamic performance of the bike.
Emphasizes its multi-tasking
intention, ergonomic considerations were also applied to the driving position of design in the foot pegs, 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 places immediately sends a feeling of comfort. Built in two separate sections for the driver and passenger, designed with the shape and density pillow to ensure maximum comfort during long journeys, and user-friendly form side to give non-slip contact with the ground when stopped. A handful of passengers catching trust offers 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 and effortless high-speed driver driving long distances. The fuel tank has been developed using a new technology that allows you to mold a favorable balance between capacity and weight. Subject to your driving style, the 20 liters (5.3 U.S. gallons) capacity can provide up to 400 kilometers (250 miles) of bicycle fun in between fuel stops, returning to 47mpg (United UU.) constant 120 kmh (75 mph).
Two 12 V power outlet is located on both sides under the driver's seat can be used to power up to 8A (time) accessories, such as heat, clothes, cell phone chargers, and intercoms. In addition, a special access point off Garmin navigation (optional) is close to 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.
Signs
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 the bike and the location of
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
Ducati characteristic sound without compromising voice to follow, and hydrocarbon emissions
standards (Euro 3).
Components that are more than unsightly details, including front air intake that characterizes the front of the Multi Strada and air supply to the oil cooler and filter the air box and the guard aluminum superbly shaped tank and side panels that help protect the engine off-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.
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.

Built in two separate sections for the driver and passenger, designed with the shape and density pillow to ensure maximum comfort during long journeys, and user-friendly form side to give non-slip contact with the ground when stopped. A handful of passengers catching trust offers 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 and effortless high-speed driver driving long distances. The fuel tank has been developed using a new technology that allows you to mold a favorable balance between capacity and weight. Subject to your driving style, the 20 liters (5.3 U.S. gallons) capacity can provide up to 400 kilometers (250 miles) of bicycle fun in between fuel stops, returning to 47mpg (United UU.) constant 120 kmh (75 mph).
Two 12 V power outlet is located on both sides under the driver's seat can be used to power up to 8A (time) accessories, such as heat, clothes, cell phone chargers, and intercoms. In addition, a special access point off Garmin navigation (optional) is close to 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.
Signs
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 the bike and the location of
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
Ducati characteristic sound without compromising voice to follow, and hydrocarbon emissions
standards (Euro 3).
Components that are more than unsightly details, including front air intake that characterizes the front of the Multi Strada and air supply to the oil cooler and filter the air box and the guard aluminum superbly shaped tank and side panels that help protect the engine off-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.
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.
