Ducati Multistrada 1260S Pikes-Peak (2020)

The Ducati Multistrada 1260S Pikes-Peak: a testament to Italian engineering and racing prowess.

Its 1,262cc Euro 4 compliant Testastretta DVT engine is the beating heart of this beast, delivering an intoxicating blend of power and refinement. The four-stroke, 90-degree twin cylinder configuration is perfectly suited for long-distance touring, yet its aggressive soundtrack hints at a more sinister intent.

On the road, the Multistrada 1260S Pikes-Peak’s handling is nothing short of exceptional, thanks to its new front end geometry and longer swingarm. The Brembo callipers and Bosch electronic fuel injection system provide unparalleled stopping power and precision control.

But what truly sets this bike apart is its ability to balance comfort with raw performance. Whether carving through mountain roads or tackling the unforgiving Pikes Peak course, the Multistrada 1260S Pikes-Peak is a true thoroughbred, bred for speed and built to conquer the most demanding terrain with ease.
