Multistrada 1200 Pikes Peak Technical Data
Overview of Multistrada 1200 Pikes Peak Engine
Independent Dual-Spark configuration
The Ducati Testastretta DVT is equipped with two sparks whose ignition is managed independently: (1) one is placed at the center of the combustion chamber, the additional one (2) on the external side.
The benefit is to provide at any engine speeds a further more effective twin flame-front that ensures complete and efficient burning (quicker and more complete) of the fuel-air mixture within the combustion chamber across a shorter period of time.
At low engine speeds the two plugs work simultaneously, while at high engine speeds the two plugs are managed independently with a dedicated ignition timing.
Long Service Intervals
Careful engineering and top-quality materials achieved amazing results: the valve clearances are checked every 30,000 km, and the service intervals are every 15.000 Km.
Anti-knocking sensor
The Ducati Testastretta DVT features an integrated anti-knocking sensor; while optimized for high octane fuel (RON 95), thanks to an anti-knocking sensor the motor can also operate - without manual intervention - on lower octane normal fuel (RON 91) as are sometimes found in distant countries.
Desmodromic Variable Timing (DVT)
The Desmodromic Variable Timing (DVT) uses hydraulically operated camshaft-phasers (two for each heads) to manipulate camshaft position relative to the sprocket connected to the timing belt and therefore vary valve timing. They are on both the intake and exhaust camshaft.
The camshaft-phaser is a two-piece mechanism comprised an outer sprocket (2) connected to the timing belt and an inner rotor (3) connected to the camshaft that varies the valve timing by adjusting the rotation angle of the camshaft.
The two pieces can move about 45° crankshaft degrees independently of each other in 0,45 sec. This inner rotor consists of a set of lobes, ports inside the phaser direct oil in or out of the space between (chambers) the outer housing and the lobes. Oil seals fit into machined grooves of the rotor to provide a tight seal between the chambers. The chambers are grouped into two sides.
Left alone the outer sprocket will simply spin at the same rate as the inner rotor. As one group of chambers receives pressurized oil (system adds oil to one side of the lobe), and the others are vented it provides the force necessary to move or hold the rotor relative to the phaser body.
The camshaft-phasers of each head are connected to the engine oil system via two solenoid valves (4) attached to the cylinder heads.
They direct oil pressure to both the camshaft-phasers according to the signal from the engine control unit.
The oil pressure acting in the cam phasers is continually adjusted by the oil control valves in order to set the right position of each camshaft
The position of the camshaft is dynamically controlled by a specific sensor mounted on the head covers.
The engine control unit according to engine-information (engine speed, engine load and temperature and the positions of the crankshaft and camshafts) actuates the solenoid valves. They open oil galleries in the control housing. Engine oil flows through the control housing into the camshaft-phasers. The camshaft-phasers turn and adjust the camshaft timing according to the specifications of the engine control unit.
Exhaust system
The homologated carbon fibre Ducati Perfromance by Termignoni silencer adds an exciting exhaust note to the typical Ducati V-Twin sound. The main manifolds are channelled into the single 3-chamber collector box and accommodates cat converter and sound-deadening material.

The performance of the brake system are supported by the 2 channels Bosh 9ME multi-calibrations ABS with cornering functionality that provides optimum braking even in bends.
Overview of Multistrada 1200 Pikes Peak Equipment
Full-TFT instrument panel
The Multistrada 1200 S is equipped with a state of the art full-TFT instrument panel. The display's configuration is variable and automatically adapts to variations in environmental light, also changing according to the selected Riding Mode or fully selectable by the rider.
There are four configurations, different in background style, information displayed, and display layout: the visualizations are different for rev-counter style, information displayed and display lay-out. Sport and Touring are the most complete for information displayed; in Sport the rpm bar graph has the same style as those of the Panigales; in Urban only the most essential riding information are displayed, Enduro view adds rpm bar graph.
Bosch 9ME multi-calibration cornering ABS
The Multistrada 1200 comes standard with the Ducati Safety Pack (DSP) that combines the Bosh 9ME multi-calibration cornering ABS with the Ducati branded 8-levels DTC.
The sophisticated 9ME multi-calibration cornering ABS improves active safety during braking situations while riding straight as well as while cornering without sacrificing dynamic performance or riding fun.
The 9ME cornering ABS provides in braking phase top performance and state of the art active safety level with the following customer benefits:
Ensures optimum distribution of brake force at all times preventing front and rear wheels from locking;
Revents the rear wheel from lifting uncontrollably when braking;
Reduces the risk of "lowsiders" by limiting the maximum brake force. It distributes the maximum available brake force between the wheels, ensuring the best possible brake performance under cornering conditions;
When braking heavily in curves the ABS, reduces the motorcycle's tendency to return to an upright position leaving the desired lane. The combined brake system function creates the best possible distribution of brake force between the wheels, and thus stabilizes the bike during cornering;
Possibility to switch from a calibration configuration to another by selecting the appropriate Riding Mode;
Of course ABS can be deactivated if rider wishes. ABS-Off can be loaded as a configuration of a riding mode and is maintained switching after key-off.
Full-LED headlights
The Multistrada 1200 S features the latest lighting technologies; the headlights use LED technology for position, low and high beams while at the rear a 3D light guide for position light and LED lights for stop light.
Full-LED front indicators integrated in the hand guards and traditional lamps indicators at the rear complete the lighting system.
Multistrada Link
With Ducati Multistrada Link, the new app for the IOS operating system (soon to be available for Android too), each journey becomes an even more engaging, ultra-connected ride riding experience.
Thanks to the standard Bluetooth technology on the Multistrada 1200 Enduro, the Multistrada Link app lets users record numerous parameters on their smartphones before, during and after a ride. Speed, lean angle, power, fuel consumption and much more besides can be saved and consulted at any time thanks to the travel diary, letting riders re-live the route in the form of maps, descriptions and photos so that not a single memory is lost.
The Multistrada Link also lets users check maximum values for several parameters and pinpoint where they occurred on the route; at the end of a journey it's also possible to display how much, in terms of percentages, the different Riding Modes were used. Lastly, the Multistrada Link keeps track of the achievement of personal goals related to use of the App and the rider's Multistrada by awarding badges and updating performance data.
Inertial platform
The Multistrada 1200 is equipped with the latest evolution of Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) by Bosh that provides the information used to deliver a significantly greater level of safety and riding control, of course without sacrificing riding pleasure and performance.
The sensor measures the 5D inertial signals, roll rate (ΩX), yaw rate (ΩZ), longitudinal acceleration (aX), transverse acceleration (aY) and vertical acceleration (aZ) of the motorcycle; an algorithm uses these values, provided via CAN, (and other data such as wheel speeds and other motorcycle-specific parameters) to determine the lean and pitch angles.
The lean and pitch angles are provided by the IMU to 9ME cornering ABS, Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC), Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DSS), and Ducati Cornering Lights (DCL).
Ducati Cornering Lights (DCL)
The Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) constantly supplies lean angle data to the Ducati Cornering Lights (DCL) that equip the Multistrada 1200 S to provide a greater active safety at night or whenever visibility is poor.
When entering a bend, the dedicated LED located in the headlights turn on in the direction of the road, according to a defined lean angle, allowing to see around the corner instead of having to ride into darkness.
When the lean angle sensor detects the bike is bending the LED are turned on and the illumination is directed into the bend to balance the angle of lean and as consequence to become any obstacles visible sooner.
Ducati Safety Pack (DSP)
The Ducati Safety Pack (DSP) is offered standard throughout the Multistrada 1200 range, giving evidence of how Ducati gives top priority to road safety. Designed to achieve superior control and active safety, the DSP includes Brembo's state-of-the-art 9ME multi-calibration cornering ABS with three mappings and 8-levels Ducati Traction Control (DTC).
Ducati Traction Control (DTC)
An integral part of the Ducati Safety Pack (DSP), the Ducati Traction Control system can be adjusted to eight levels (four of which are integrated in the Riding Modes). It processes the inputs from the wheel speed sensors to control rear wheel slip, significantly improving performance and active safety.
The system installed on the Multistrada 1200 offers a very smooth intervention of the system, which gives priority to ignition delay. In case of wheel-spin, the system reacts by delaying the ignition, up to a 60% torque reduction request. For higher torque reduction requests the injection is cut off.
Each pre-set DTC level associated with the different Riding Modes can be customised by the rider and stored from the setup menu.
Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC)
The Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) algorithm is computed by the BBS (BlackBoxSystem unit) and it uses wheels speed, roll and pitch angle (provided by Bosch IMU), longitudinal acceleration signals
The DWC control algorithm uses those signals to determine the status of the bike and the magnitude of the wheelie as a consequence of that the system allows maximum acceleration in a safe manner
Based on these information the DWC control unit computes a power/torque request which is sent on CAN to the ECU (Engine Control Unit). The ECU interprets the data communicated by the DWC control unit to reduce the power/torque level required by the rider. The power/torque reduction is shown by the DTC light on the dashboard. Depending on the DWC level, ranging from 1 to 8, there are different reductions of engine power/torque compared with the same motorcycle dynamic conditions. In particular the power reduction is lower with level 1 and higher with level 8.
Ducati guarantees all its bikes for a period of 24 months from registration, with unlimited mileage.
