2013 Ducati Multistrada range

We've been given a sneak preview of the updated tackle, which features – on the S models – a semi-active suspension system
Details are emerging on Ducati’s 2013 Multistrada range, with new features including “enhanced aesthetics”, a second generation ride-by-wire Testastretta 11° engine, the very latest ABS and, on the "S" versions, a semi-active suspension system called Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DSS).
The base Multistrada 1200 now comes with Ducati Traction Control (DTC) in addition to the very latest ABS, while the Multistrada 1200 S Touring has DSS, DTC and ABS with additional side luggage, heated grips and centrestand.
The new touring flagship of the range for 2013 is the Multistrada 1200 S Granturismo with increased side luggage capacity, top case, additional LED illumination and enhanced wind protection, while the latest Multistrada 1200 S Pikes Peak celebrates the sporting side of the model's character with a replica of the 2012 race-winning livery.
Four riding modes remain: Sport, Touring, Urban or Enduro, separated by just one click of a button. 
The 2013 range of Multistradas will be launched at an international press test in Spain from September 20-27, while the first public showing will be at the INTERMOT motorcycle show in Cologne, Germany from October 3-7. The brand new Multistrada 1200 models will be available via the official Ducati dealer network from December, 2012.
