Ducati Link App: customise and record
A new smartphone application, initially available on the Multistrada 1260 before being extended to other Ducati modelsDucati’s launched the ‘Ducati Link App’, a new smartphone application developed by the Bologna-based manufacturer.
Using Bluetooth technology, the application connects to the bike and, while riding, records information supplied by the on-board control unit such as speed, lean angle, power delivery and acceleration. Then, at the end of the ride, the rider can check aspects of his performance, analysing the evolution of the data over the course of the journey.
Using the smartphone’s GPS, the App records the route travelled and, by allowing you to integrate photos and comments, enables the rider to relive the highlights of his experience.
And you can then share it!
The Ducati Link App’s connection with the motorcycle lets you set the travel mode (a combination of load and riding mode) and customise the parameters of each riding mode (ABS, traction control, etc.) directly from your smartphone.
Furthermore, the App makes available a host of information including when the next service is due, an e-version of the owner’s manual and the Ducati Store locator.
"The launch of the Ducati Link App is another step forward in the Company’s digital transformation process", comments Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati.
"The application has been designed to be a tool enabling constant dialogue between bike and rider. Thanks to the connection between bike and smartphone, the rider will be able to enjoy an increasingly engaging driving experience, transforming each trip into a memory to be shared and relived at any moment. We are particularly happy to have been able to develop this technology with a partner like e-Novia, an impressive, dynamic Italian company, in further confirmation of the ingenuity and technical skills that characterise and distinguish our country."
The Ducati Link App is available for all motorcyclists: the recording and sharing of itineraries are not dependent on the connection to the bike. However, full functionality can initially only be used by Multistrada 1260 riders before the App is extended to other Ducati models.
