Ducati Unveils the Multistrada 1200 S Pikes Peak Special Edition highlights

For those who did not get the etymology, the name comes from the famous off-road race of The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, or “Race to the Clouds”. The event is also on the international calendar of the FIA in addition to holding races for seven motorcycle categories ranging from 250cc to1200cc.

The Pikes Peak Special Edition model is painted in Ducati’s red and white racing-team livery and has special pin-striping, red seat stitching and carbon-fiber parts to set it apart from the garden-variety Multistrada. It is a stunning replica of the Ducati Corse-style paint scheme with passenger foot-peg hangers and engine guard anodized in black finish and sports red pin-striping on the wheels.

In addition to the original equipment silencer and screen the Pikes Peak Special Edition Model arrives with an EU approved Ducati Performance carbon fiber silencer by Termignoni and a race-derived low screen in carbon fiber. A Ducati Performance carbon fiber front mudguard, and custom made seat detailed with red stitching complete an enhanced specification well worthy of a race-winning replica.

The Special Edition emphasizes on the race-bred spirit that is deeply rooted inside every Ducati and follows a massive first year accomplishment for the award-winning Multistrada 1200, which set a new industry benchmark in motorcycle technology with the unique four-bikes-in-one concept.

The Multistrada is designed to perform exceptionally well a variety of terrains, ranging from the race tracks to rugged off-road jaunts which can be a nightmare for any biker. It has four riding modes; Sport, Touring, Urban and Enduro, which the rider selects manually to tailor the bike’s power and handling characteristics to the terrain.

The technology wrapped in the Multistrada Pikes Peak Special Edition model reflects the quest for perfection and the racing heritage, which is ingrained in every Ducati.
