intervention level. Level eight indicates a setting that
minimises motorcycle tendency to shift up in a
wheelie and maximises reaction to the same, if it
occurs. While level one is for expert riders and
features a lower wheelie control in terms of
prevention and less strong reaction to the same, if it
occurs.
Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
The Multistrada is fitted with a Bosch inertial platform,
equipped with inertial measurement unit (IMU). The
IMU constantly monitors motorcycle incidence and
lean angle, matching them with ABS and DWC
signals, thereby optimising the efficiency of all these
systems, regardless of motorcycle position.
Ducati Cruise Control
Multistrada features a system for maintaining the
cruise speed, the Ducati Cruise Control. System can
be enabled with engaged gear equal to or higher than
the second gear and vehicle speed ranging between
50 Km/h (30 mph) and 200 Km/h (125 mph).
Desmodromic Variable Timing (DVT)
The DVT system allows optimised timing setting
according to engine load and speed, as well as to
continuously advance or delay exhaust and intake
valve timing through the rotation of the camshafts,
thereby ensuring utmost efficiency throughout the
rpm range and high performance at high speed, with
an optimised torque curve at low rpm.
Ducati Quick Shift (DQS)
The DQS with up/down feature allows the rider to
upshift and downshift without using the clutch lever. It
includes a two-way microswitch - built in the lever
mechanism - that outputs a signal to the engine
control unit whenever the gearchange is operated.
The system works in a separate way for upshifting
and downshifting, and combines the action on
ignition advance and injection, available in the upshift
system, with controlled throttle opening for operation
during downshifting.
Ducati SkyHook System (DSS)
Multistrada is equipped with the brand new
suspension control system called DSS (Ducati
Skyhook System): DSS is a dynamic suspension
damping control system. The suspensions of a
vehicle usually have two main dynamic functions:
allowing the vehicle to absorb the bumps on the road
by filtering their effects on vehicle body (and,
