2015 Ducati Multistrada DVT

Ducati unveiled its latest bombshell at EICMA: the 2015 Ducati Multistrada DVT!

In short, even more powerful, even smarter, even sexier; even more motorcycle. First, remind yourselves of the earlier Multistradas if you have managed to forget them. :) Now let's talk about the changes. Once the bike arrives in Turkey, I hope we will get to ride it and publish a review anyway.

What's new:

• New Ducati Testastretta DVT engine, 160 HP, 136 Nm. Thanks to the new independent variable valve timing system, it pulls strongly even from low revs (80 Nm). The intake and exhaust camshafts can be adjusted independently. Do not confuse this with hydraulic or mechanical systems that open at a fixed rate as engine speed rises.
• IMU: Inertial Measurement Unit. Simply put, a system that continuously measures the motorcycle's yaw, pitch and roll.
• Bosch-Brembo ABS 9.1ME cornering braking system
• Twin 330 mm Brembo front brake discs and M504 four-piston radial calipers
• Electronic cruise control
• Ducati Multimedia System (DMS), a multimedia system with iOS and Android apps that can connect to and control your media sources
• Lightweight machined forged wheels
• Selectable riding modes
• Selectable electronic power levels
• DWC: Ducati Wheelie Control, controlling whether you do (or do not) lift the front wheel
• DTC: Ducati Traction Control
• Height-adjustable seat. Now adjustable between 82 and 84.5 mm.
• Electronic semi-active Sachs suspension front and rear
• DSS Evolution, the new version of the Ducati Skyhook Suspension system
• Full-LED DCL headlights—Ducati Cornering Lights—which follow the road through a bend
• 5-inch colour TFT instrument panel
• D|air system, for Ducati's airbag-equipped riding gear.
