Ducati Multistrada 1200 DVT (2015)

The Ducati Multistrada 1200 DVT: a revolution on two wheels. Powered by a groundbreaking Testastretta DVT engine, featuring Desmodromic Variable Timing, this powerhouse unleashes maximum power at high rpm, yet delivers punchy low-rpm torque and impressive fuel efficiency.

With four riding modes to choose from – Urban, Touring, Sport, and Enduro – the Multistrada 1200 is a master of versatility. But it’s not just about modes; it’s about an intelligent engine that adapts to every situation, thanks to its variable valve timing system with independent control of both intake and exhaust camshafts.

But what truly sets this bike apart is its cutting-edge electronics package, led by the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). This advanced technology dynamically measures roll, yaw, and pitch angles, enabling features like Cornering ABS and Ducati Cornering Lights, which work in harmony to provide unparalleled performance and safety.

The result is a riding experience that’s both exhilarating and accessible. Whether you’re carving up twisties or cruising across continents, the Multistrada 1200 DVT delivers an unmatched level of sophistication and control, cementing its position as the ultimate adventure bike.
