Introducing the 2020 Ducati Multistrada 1260 Pikes Peak, a stunning embodiment of performance and versatility that sits proudly within the premium adventure touring segment. This motorcycle is not just a means of transportation; it's an extension of your adventurous spirit, designed for riders who crave both the thrill of the open road and the comfort to tackle long-distance journeys. With its striking Pikes Peak livery, this bike pays homage to Ducati's racing heritage, capturing attention wherever it roams, whether it's winding through mountain passes or cruising urban landscapes. At the heart of the Multistrada 1260 Pikes Peak is a robust 1262cc V2 engine, delivering a thrilling 158 horsepower at 9,500 RPM and a formidable torque of 129.5 Nm at 7,500 RPM. The combination of a dual-spark ignition system and Bosch electronic fuel injection ensures that every twist of the throttle translates into exhilarating acceleration.

With a fuel consumption of only 5.20 litres per 100 km, this machine does not just perform; it also economizes, making it a practical choice for the long haul. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, the Multistrada 1260 Pikes Peak features a tubular steel trellis frame that combines strength with agility, creating a nimble ride. The fully adjustable Öhlins TTX36 rear suspension and 48mm fully adjustable USD front forks provide exceptional handling, allowing riders to fine-tune their setup for various conditions. Advanced braking systems, including radially mounted four-piston calipers and ABS, ensure confident stopping power, while the bike's impressive 30-litre fuel tank offers the range necessary for epic adventures. Additional features like a comprehensive digital display and electric start make this bike as user-friendly as it is exhilarating. **
