Review
nothing less than four bikes in one: from super
sport to long-distance tourer, from everyday runabout to enduro.
Now, Ducati’s technological expertise has produced a new
generation of Multistradas, bikes featuring the latest Ducati
Testastretta DVT (Desmodromic Variable Timing) engine and a
state-of-the-art technological package that sets a whole new
standard in its product segment. The new Multistrada 1200 is the
“multibike” par excellence, with cutting-edge technology making
it far more than just the 4-bikes-in-1 offered by its Riding
Modes.

module is included as standard: this activates the Ducati
Multimedia System and can connect the bike to a smartphone for
user- friendly control of basic functions such as receiving
incoming calls, notification of text messages, or playing music
via the handlebar controls and on-dash info. Thanks to an iOS/Android
app, the Bluetooth connection lets riders use bike data to
activate other functions which enhance, extend or let them share
their everyday riding or touring experiences; the app even
allows interaction with the ducati.com website and social
networks.

big Twin way less rambunctious at low rpm: Ducati says DVT
reduces “surging” by 78%25, increases power by 7%25 and torque by 9%25
– and the final benefit is supposed to be 8%25 better fuel
economy. On top of that, valve-interval checks are up to 18,000
miles, and routine maintenance is down to 9000 miles, or 12
months.
the chunky midrange is what the DVT is all about: In Sport mode
particularly, there’s a delicious and audible surge at around
6000 rpm that’ll get the yellow DWC (Ducati Wheelie Control)
lights flashing if you happen to be coming over a rise. The
six-speed gearbox is so fluid, up and down, you wonder why you’d
need a quickshifter. Once rolling above third, you really don’t
need the clutch, which uses Ducati’s self-servo mechanism to
keep lever effort light and acts as a semi-slipper.
