Ducati Multistrada 1200S / Acceleration, Top Speed, Ride and Best Exhaust

The Ducati Multistrada 1200 was redesigned with new fairings and the Desmodromic Variable Timing (DVT) motor using hydraulically actuated adjusters to vary timing thru 90° of camshaft rotation. The new motor has a claimed 160 hp (120 kW) and 100.3 lb/ft (149.3 kg/m) torque and 8% better fuel mileage as well as a longer maintenance schedule (18,600 miles for valve adjustments)[14]. There is a new 5-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) measuring pitch, roll and yaw to enhance ABS (cornering ABS), DTC and Skyhook. It also enables Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC), and cornering lights that activate at over 20 mph (32 km/h) and 7° lean angle. Switchgear is backlit. Electronic cruise control is now standard on both base and S models. The display has been redesigned with the base still having a LCD display but the S model now has a full color TFT display. Bluetooth is incorporated into the dash.
