The Ducati Multistrada 1200 S Granturismo is one of the novelties to be discovered at the 2012 Cologne Intermot motorcycle show. Presented, this over-equipped version of the Ducati maxi-trail comes with 73-liter suitcases fitted with waterproof bags and a 48-liter top case as standard. liters, a central stand and a comfort saddle.

In addition, it differs from the "standard" Multistrada S thanks to its additional LED lights, its handlebars raised by 20 mm and the protections installed on the L-twin derived from the Superbike 1198..

Developing the trifle of 150 hp (largely enough to tow a mass contained under 195 kg dry!), This engine has received a number of modifications which benefit the entire Multistrada 2013 range. The torque, in particular, increases by 0, 6 kg / m to now stand at 12.7 kg / m.

To improve flexibility and mid-range revival, Ducati began by reintroducing "Dual Spark" technology which uses two spark plugs per cylinder for better combustion of the air-fuel mixture. At the same time, a system for injecting fresh air to the exhaust was installed in order to improve the combustion of unburned gases. Finally, the interval between each major overhaul is increased to 24,000 km thanks to the use of a new material on the valve seats and better management of the engine temperature..

High-end suspensions for high-end maxi-trail

Like all 2013 "S" versions, the Multistrada 1200 Granturismo also carries semi-active Sachs Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DDS) suspensions. Concretely, this system adjusts in real time the hardness in compression and in relaxation according to the conditions. For this purpose, it collects data transmitted by accelerometer-type sensors placed on the lower yoke, the rear loop, the sleeves and the swingarm..

In addition, thanks to the toothed crowns informing the Bosch 9ME combined ABS and the traction control which can be configured on three and eight levels respectively, this DDS would annihilate the attitude movements during braking and acceleration..

Recently discovered on the, this type of "high tech" damping completes an already particularly advanced suspension package, since the Multistrada S have been receiving suspensions since 2010, the settings of which adapt electronically according to the driving mode (Sport, Touring, Urban and Enduro) and configuration (solo, duo, with or without luggage) selected on the handlebars.

As on the previous Multistrada S, it is possible to fine-tune these basic settings by intervening electronically on the setting of the suspensions. And so to adjust to the "electronic click" near the reactions of his motorcycle: if with all this, the biker looking for the perfect setting does not find his happiness !

Finally, the entire Multistrada 2013 range benefits from a new optic comprising a headlight and led position lights (the low beam using a "conventional" bulb), as well as hazard lights which can be activated by pressing the left turn signal for four seconds. Likewise, the bubble adjustable with one hand over an amplitude of 60mm is more generously trimmed, while the ten-spoke rims adopt the same look as that of the 1199 Panigale.. 

According to our information gathered at the Cologne Intermot, the Ducati Multistrada 1200 S Granturismo will be available in March 2013 at a price of € 20,990. For the moment, only the gray "Touring" color will be offered on this bike fitted with Pirelli Angel GT tires, a new more powerful and enduring version of the .
