ENGINE
Sump guard - The bike is ideal for off-road. Off the road is made possible by the suspension of the extra-long trips, less weight and a strong and effective protection of aluminum structural oil pan, which protects the casing against the bumpy ground.
Exhaust System - Ducati, the design is not only creating an attractive appearance. It is important to know how best to feature exciting smart appearance and excellent performance are combined. Although the Multistrada 1200 exhaust pipes are a feature that perfectly illustrates this concept. The innovative design integrates well with the general shape and position of the vehicle exhaust system improves overall weight distribution. The exhaust pipes are short, so that they have an impact on the space necessary for the side walls of luggage. The internal structure of the gate is designed to achieve the characteristic sound of Ducati without compromising compliance with sound and hydrocarbon emission standards (Euro 3).
Vacural crankcases ® - 11 ° characteristics Testastretta casting crankcases vacuum, formed by technology Vacural ®, a process that achieves a significant weight savings and ensures consistent wall thickness and increased strength.
Testastretta 11 ° - The desire of the World Superbike engine for the entire world as a result the design and creation of the new Testastretta 11 °, an engine that is a racer at heart and are not prepared to travel long distance or use daily in the city. So called because the minimum 11 ° of 'valve overlap' - the interval of crankshaft rotation, in which both intake and exhaust are open at once - the power Desmodromic not only changes the new Testastretta Evoluzione won the 41 ° global configuration of a very smooth engine for sport touring, but also improves fuel consumption, emissions and cost of scheduled maintenance. The Testastretta engine is a 11 ° for all environments and the perfect "game changer 'for four bikes in one concept.
24,000 km major service intervals, the Multistrada 1200 is subjected to a program of increasingly intense development.

- In the new engine emissions Testastretta 11 °, this angle is reduced from 41 °, the Testastretta Evoluzione engine that goes to 1198 to only 11 °. This is the stream of fresh intake charge is less affected by the exhaust gases coming out, resulting in a much smoother combustion as well as fuel and lower emissions. Emissions of unburned hydrocarbons (pre-catalyst) are reduced by up to 65% and specific fuel consumption (and consequent CO2 emissions) by up to 15% (Euro3).
Assisted by slip clutch torque - the Multistrada 1200 features an oil bath clutch with "slipper" function and super-light feel at the lever. The design uses a progressive self-servo mechanism, that presses the plates together when, under drive from the engine, so reducing the clutch springs. This results in a lighter clutch lever on the steering wheel, ideal for stop-start traffic or long trips. If the motor is reversed (in time), the same mechanism that reduces the stress on the clutch plates, so a career-like "shoe", an action that the destabilizing effect of rear-end collisions decreases in the exchange offer aggressive downward and provides a feeling much smoother when closing the throttle or downshift in normal driving conditions.
Ride-by-Wire - The resolution of the system-by-wire Ride is an electronic interface between the handle and the engine response depending ideal power driving mode selected according to the gas inlet driver decides. The lever is no longer a throttle cable directly to the throttle valve, but provides a signal to a control unit, which in turn operates the throttle opening. The system uses three different assignments RBW to regulate the power delivery. All three cards offer 150 hp, with a delivery type of sports, 150 hp with a progressive delivery is fit to travel and 100 horsepower with the progressive delivery of the city or off-road use.
