The Transformer: Ducatti Multistrada 1200







The Transformer: Ducatti Multistrada 1200

When the guys over at Ducatti have a dream, they dont just stay as dreams. They evolve, through passion and innovation. One such dream led to the “sporty, powerful and easy to ride” Ducatti MultiStrada 1200. A perfect blend of exquisite Italian craftsmanship and technology, the Ducatti MultiStrada 1200 changes the way we imagine superbikes.

The power to transform your bike through the click of a button – 4 bikes in 1: a sports bike, long-distance tourer, urban and road enduro. The Ducatti MultiStrada 1200 unsurprisingly counts on the Testastretta, from the Superbike 1198 to create the heart of this machine, one that adapts and works just about perfectly for any occasion. This led to the evolution of the new Testastretta 11° engine, where the angle has been reduced from 41°, to just 11°, for a more comfortable ride.

“A bike with no limits, that can transform itself to suit the rider’s demands, from a supersport to a tourer for long journeys with a passenger and luggage, to an everyday bike which can breeze through the daily commute and also tackle off-road routes with the agility of an enduro; in other words, four bikes in one!”
