What Is It?

The Ducati Multistrada 1200 Pikes Peak is a premium adventure bike and is powered by a Euro 4 compliant liquid cooled 1,198.4 cc V-Twin Variable Valve Timingengine, producing 157.8 bhp at 9,500 rpm and maximum torque at 7,500 rpm.

Features include:

Steel tubular frame with Aluminium single-sided swingarm
Dual 330 mm discs up front with Brembo Evo M50 four piston calipers
265 mm disc at the rear with single piston caliper
Bosch 9.1ME cornering ABS
Electrically adjustable Ohlins 50 mm upside down fork with 170 mm travel

Slipper clutch
Adjustable mirrors

2->1->2 exhaust system with Carbon sleeve
Two 12V sockets front and back
LED lighting all round with cornering headlight
Keyless start
Backlit controls
5" TFT dash
6 speed gearbox with gear position indicator

The Pikes Peak special edition is based on the 1200 S but gets you an Ohlins 50 mm fork, TTX36 shock, small screen, Termignoni exhaust, red wheel stripes, red seat detailing and the special red/white/black colour scheme. There's also a handful of Carbon Fibre bits including the mudguard, non-adjustable screen and front fuel tank covers.

You have Urban, Touring, Sport and Enduro modes to choose from:

Sport firms up the suspension, provides aggressive power delivery and minimises traction control / wheelie control while Touring offers smoother power delivery and mid-level traction / wheelie control.
Urban mode limits power to 100 bhp with smooth delivery and sets the suspension to handle potholes in town, with traction / wheelie control set to a high level.
At the extreme you then have Enduro mode with the same limited 100 bhp, longest travel on the suspension, minimal traction / wheelie control and ABS set to off at the rear.

Storage is pretty good even without the optional luggage, with a small glovebox in the right fairing and a few litres under the pillion seat.

The 3 Y-spoke 17" wheels take a 120/70 Pirelli Scorpion Trail II tyre at the front and 190/55 at the rear.

Options include panniers, heated grips, tyre pressure monitor, centre stand, side bars, under seat USB socket, Titanium racing exhaust, tall GT screen and various billet bits.

Touring Pack: Panniers, centre stand, heated grips
Urban Pack: Top box, USB hub, tank bag
Enduro Pack: LED fog lights, engine bars, radiator guard, belly pan, off road pegs and wider kick stand

Colours: Red/white/black
