The latest-generation Ducati Multistrada 1260 S has
arrived on Malaysian shores and it is by far the most powerful enduro bike ever
released by Ducati with results to back its claim. The Ducati factory team has
conquered the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with a win and podium using
this baby as their main weapon and has rightfully regained the title as “The
King of the Mountain”.
Designed to be super versatile on all sorts of roads
from urban to off-road, the Multistrada 1260 S has been redesigned from the
ground up and now features a brand new engine, chassis, and the latest
electronics package to help deliver maximum power whilst offering high levels
of manoeuvrability to the rider.
At the heart of the new Multistrada lies a 1,262cc
Ducati Testastretta DVT engine which promises to deliver astounding levels of
power and torque. We’re talking 158 hp at 9,750 rpm and 130 Nm of torque at
7,500 rpm which translates to the highest torque output in its class to date.
To
ensure that everything runs smooth as butter, the 1260 is further enhanced with
specs like a new Ride-by-Wire for a smoother throttle control and Ducati Quick
Shift (DQS) Up & Down for an overall improvement in riding experience.
Other new features include:
- New Bosch IMU unit
- Updated Cornering ABS
- Ducati Cornering Lights
- Ducati Wheelie Control
- Semi-active Ducati Skyhook suspension (DSS) Evolution control system
- Vehicle Hold Control
