Overview

Introducing the 2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200 S Granturismo, a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of adventure and the essence of touring. Positioned at the pinnacle of the Ducati lineup, the Multistrada is engineered for long-distance journeys while delivering exhilarating performance and versatility. With its rugged styling and advanced technology, this bike is designed for those who crave exploration without compromising on comfort or capability. The Granturismo variant takes touring to the next level, equipped with features that cater to the serious traveler, making it the ideal companion for both winding roads and open highways. At the heart of the Multistrada 1200 S Granturismo is a powerful V2, four-stroke engine that displaces 1198.40 ccm, producing an impressive 147.91 horsepower at 9250 RPM and a torque of 124.50 Nm at 7500 RPM. This potent powerplant, featuring a 11.5:1 compression ratio and four valves per cylinder, delivers thrilling acceleration and seamless power delivery. The 6-speed gearbox, paired with Ducati’s light-action wet multiplate clutch, provides smooth engagement and effortless shifting, allowing riders to focus on the road ahead. The advanced liquid cooling system ensures optimal performance in a variety of conditions, while the chain final drive enhances the bike's responsiveness. The Multistrada’s lightweight frame, weighing in at 217 kg (478.4 lbs) with a low center of gravity, contributes to its nimble handling, making it equally adept in urban environments and on twisty mountain passes. Ducati has integrated cutting-edge technology into the Multistrada 1200 S Granturismo, enhancing both safety and comfort for the rider. The fully adjustable Sachs 48mm USD front forks and rear suspension with electronic damping adjustment ensure that you can customize your ride according to your preferences and the terrain. With a trail of 110 mm and a rake of 25 degrees, the bike provides confident handling and stability. Coupled with a sophisticated ABS braking system featuring dual front discs and a single rear disc, the Granturismo provides exceptional stopping power. Additional features include an adjustable windscreen for optimal aerodynamics, a spacious 20-litre fuel tank for extended range, and a two-year unlimited mileage warranty, providing peace of mind for long-distance adventures. **

Pros

  • Powerful Engine Performance: The V2 engine offers robust acceleration and smooth power delivery, making it an exhilarating ride.
  • Advanced Suspension Technology: The Ducati Skyhook Suspension provides excellent handling and adaptability to various road conditions.
  • Comfort-Oriented Design: Ergonomics are well-thought-out, making it suitable for long-distance touring with an adjustable seat height and windscreen.

Cons

  • Weight Considerations: At 234 kg (515.9 lbs) with fluids, it can be cumbersome for inexperienced riders, especially in low-speed maneuvers.
  • High Maintenance Costs: As with most premium motorcycles, maintenance and parts can be more expensive compared to standard touring bikes.
  • Limited Off-Road Capability: While designed for versatility, its road-oriented characteristics may not satisfy hardcore off-road enthusiasts.
