Ducati Multistrada 1200 S 2015

The new Ducati Multistrada 1200 S is a thoroughly successful new edition of the extra-sporty touring enduro. The weaknesses of the predecessor were obviously analysed in detail and corrected: thanks to the DVT system, the engine now also works harmoniously in the lower rev range and the seating position is now also more suitable for comfort-oriented riders. The electronics have been massively upgraded; no other touring enduro is so comprehensively equipped. Starting with the many adjustable modes for power delivery and suspension, the brakes and cornering ABS are also of the highest standard. Although the "normal" Multisrtrada 1200 does without some electronic gimmicks, it is also cheaper and does not ride any worse overall.

Good handling, powerful engine

sensitive, semi-active Skyhook suspension

superb Brembo braking system

cornering ABS

tunable power modes

LED cornering lights

Cruise Control as standard

optional equipment packages can be combined.

Windshield too narrow

not a cheap pleasure
