The Ducati Multistrada 1200 DVT is a game-changer, setting a new standard for adventure touring motorcycles with its cutting-edge technology and exceptional performance.
This latest iteration boasts a powerful 90-degree L-twin Testastretta DVT engine, featuring Desmodromic Variable Timing (DVT) and Ride-by-Wire throttle bodies. The result is an engine that delivers maximum power at high rpm, fluid delivery, punchy low-rpm torque, and exceptional fuel efficiency.
The Multistrada 1200’s riding experience is further enhanced by its state-of-the-art electronic package, including a sophisticated Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that dynamically measures roll, yaw, and pitch angles. This enables advanced features such as Cornering ABS, Ducati Cornering Lights, and rider assistance systems.
The new Multistrada 1200 is not just an evolution of its predecessor – it’s a revolution in long-distance touring motorcycles. With its exceptional performance, cutting-edge technology, and unparalleled riding experience, this bike redefines the boundaries of adventure travel, making every journey a thrilling and unforgettable experience.
