But all 4 Multis (1200, 1200 S Touring, the new Granturismo, and Pikes Peak Edition) get a new, 2nd-gen 11-degree DS Testastretta V-Twin that's claimed to make five percent more torque than before. Most of the credit for the increase goes to what hinted at by the DS designation: dual-sparkplug heads. But redirecting fuel injector nozzles onto hot exhaust valves improves atomization and a new air injection system similar to the Panigale's allows the Multi to run a richer mixture when necessary, which results in smoother running without smoking past Euro three and EPA emissions standards.All the Multis except the base 1200 get all-new "Ducati Skyhook Suspension," a semi-active system that uses electronics to help maintain the bike's front-to-rear balance as conditions change--as if the bike were suspended from the sky, says Ducati. 2 pairs of accelerometers (the front pair on a fork lower and at the bottom triple clamp, the rear pair on the swingarm and subframe), measure wheel movement at each end and feed it to the bike's ECU. The ECU then controls 1 electronic valve in the left fork leg, and another in the shock. Built by Sachs, these needle-and-seat valves regulate oil flow within the suspension units, responding so quickly, says Project Manager Federico Sabbioni, that a single valve is able to control flow on both compression and rebound strokes. With the Multistrada having 150 claimed horsepower, 6.7ins of travel at both ends and a mission that includes sometimes carrying full saddlebags and maybe a passenger, DSS makes sense.For more on this bike including VIDEO - http://ecotbinventory.com/listing/2013-ducati-multistrada-1200-st-silver-4/
