2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200 S Review

Two new features in 2013 Multi fight for the spotlight: revised engine and suspension semi-active. Since the suspension of the "Skyhook" is available only on top-class S-class Multis and motor mods applies to all Multistradas, we will start in the engine room. The Ducati rider did an amazing job of converting the 1198cc V-Twin superbike to the factory which is more streetable for use in MTS and later, the Diavel.

The main modification is the reducing valve overlap of hi-po superbike 41 degrees to only 11 degrees, the nomenclature "Testastretta 11 °". However, refuel at low revs is a mite strong, especially in Sport mode, so Ducati engineers made three key changes to make new "Testastretta 11 ° DS."

2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200 S Specifications

2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200 S was launched with 1,200 this week in Bilbao, Spain, which allows journalists to pick up some first impressions of the bike was revised. Fair enough, the Ducati Testastretta engine has been improved to achieve a smooth torque response, and increasing by five percent of the 7,500 rpm. The new Testastretta II DS now provides 56 lbs. ft of torque compared to the 53 ft. lbs. offered in the version last year. Ducati power increase attributes full evaporation of the fuel injector and the reintroduction of the dual spark repositioning.

However, the new Skyhook suspension is the talk of the town, and after a good test session in the North of Spain, I am definitely a fan. Working with the latest traction control and ABS system, its hard to set one foot on the 2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200 S Touring (shown above). Skyhook suspension from Sachs works by using complicated algorithms that are available to us in this era of high-tech aids ride. The system creates an imaginary ground zero so to say suspended in the air above the vehicle.

This way the Skyhook continually can compare this zone with what is actually happening on the ground under the wheels. Compression and rebound can be adjusted automatically in milliseconds for almost any changes in the road surface. There are even enduro mode should really run out of the way. In the real world the suspension systems of Skyhooks best practice use of marble in the high-tech aids ride, and I really like it.

Multistrada 1200 S Touring is fairly sporty package, but with just a few clicks of a button you can change it to full comfortable bicycle tours. Push and slide the wind screen of new solutions miles better than the old solution, and now you can customize the display with one hand while on the move. It is not electricity but good enough for a mechanical solution.
