The Multistrada family of sport bikes excel on every road you challenge with amazing sports performance, outstanding comfort and everyday-use versatility. Ideal for a day in the mountains, the daily commute or a weekend tour, the Multistrada offers sport bike aggression on twisty roads, yet is smooth and relaxed when scenery beckons.

Developed on the winding mountain roads and city streets of Italy, the Multistrada is a real-world motorcycle for real-world riders, a dream come true, a high performance sports bike that doesn't compromise comfort, versatility or practicality.

The Multistrada breaks down all barriers. Its unique versatility is a matter of design. On mountain roads its impressive cornering performance comes by way of Superbike-spec suspension, world-class brakes and its renowned Ducati Trellis frame. For extended journeys, the longer travel suspension smoothes the way, vibration isolated handlebars reduce fatigue and the relaxed riding position optimises comfort for both rider and passenger. In town the agile chassis, wide bars and broad power of the 1100 engine make crossing busy city traffic an adventure to look forward to.

It is this extreme versatility and all-round performance that prompted magazines to nominate the Multistrada as "Bike of the year" in the street segment.

For the 2009 the Multistrada is available in two versions: the impressive Multistrada 1100 finished in red and, for those who demand 'S' version sport performance, the Multistrada 1100 S in red, black or in the new pearl white colour.

Thanks to its world-class suspension and componentry, the "S" version is for riders who demand the ultimate in sports performance. It is based on the Multistrada 1100, but features a number of components derived from the Ducati Superbikes, including fully-adjustable Öhlins suspension and carbon fibre components.

The Multistrada 1100 S highlights the sporting character of a model whose main feature is versatility.

The 1100 S features a number of racing components including a front fender and cam belt covers in carbon fibre, as well as tapered alloy handlebars which are fitted with vibration isolating mounts. The prestigious Öhlins suspension, derived from the Ducati Superbikes, deliver superior road handling as well as an exclusive quality finish.

This top-of-the-range model now features the new livery of pearl white with racing grey frame and engine outer casings with a carbon grey finish.

Chassis
It is the chassis that has given the Ducati Multistrada its extreme versatility and all-round performance. The Multistrada 1100 S earns its 'S' status by adding sophisticated suspension and a sporting set-up to an already high performance motorcycle. It provides true Superbike performance and is capable of lightning-quick cornering and extreme riding precision.

At the front, 43mm Öhlins forks with low friction TiN fork sliders, fully adjustable and complemented by a fully adjustable Öhlins rear shock with remote preload adjuster for Superbike-class road holding.
