Ducati Multistrada 1260S Pikes-Peak (2018)

The Ducati Multistrada 1260S Pikes-Peak is an uncompromising touring machine that embodies the perfect blend of power, agility, and comfort. Its 1262cc Testastretta DVT engine boasts a robust low-to-mid range torque curve, delivering 85% of its maximum torque at just 3,500 rpm.

The Multistrada’s rideability is further enhanced by the advanced Ride-by-Wire system and Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) Up & Down. This seamless throttle control and precise shifting enable riders to exploit the bike’s full potential with ease.

As you carve through corners or tackle twisty mountain roads, the updated chassis responds eagerly, its longer swinging arm and revised geometry up front ensuring razor-sharp handling and a deeply engaging riding experience. The result is a machine that effortlessly transcends its touring roots, becoming an exhilarating sport tourer that’s equally at home on long-distance journeys as it is on spirited road excursions.
