  Specifications 1200

A dream Ducati - 4 bikes in 1. A sport bike, long-distance tourer, urban and road enduro are now separated by just one click. Five versions available: 1200, 1200S "Sport", 1200S "Pikes Peak" Edition, 1200S "Touring" and 1200 S "Granturismo".

The "S Sport" version of the Multistrada 1200 is equipped with carbon fibre components such as cam belt covers, air intakes and hugger. The "S Touring" doesn't have the carbon fibre but does include panniers, heated grips and a centre stand as standard. Standard equipment on both S versions of the Multistrada includes the innovative DES system (Ducati Electronic Suspension) that electronically adjusts the Öhlins suspension thru 2012; Sachs "Skyhook" for 2013 on, DTC (level 3 in sport mode, 5 in touring, 7 in urban and 1 in enduro mode) and ABS. The Pikes Peak edition includes a special paint schema and forged aluminum wheels. The Granturismo is the same as the "Touring" but with a special paint schema, frame crash bars & driving lights.
