DSS
Every riding mode is associated with a specific
calibration of the DSS Suspensions (front and rear
suspension setup and rear shock absorber spring
preload setup), designed by Ducati or customised by
the user through the setting functions.
When you select the riding mode, i.e., when pressing
button (4) from the main page for 1 second, and you
open the menu for selecting the riding mode, among
the parameters associated to each riding mode the
following are listed:
1) FRONT (DSS front suspension) followed by set
compression and rebound for the fork;
2) REAR (DSS rear suspension) followed by set
compression and rebound for the rear shock
absorber;
3) PRE-LOAD (rear shock absorber spring preload)
followed by set spring preload (from 01 to 24) for
the rear shock absorber.
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,
consequently, on rider) and allowing the optimal
contact between wheels and asphalt. The DSS
system purpose is to improve the comfort offered by
a standard passive suspension keeping at the same
time the same performance.
The DSS system makes use of several sensors
present on the motorcycle to define its setup and
vertical and longitudinal movements, and adapt
suspension damping accordingly. The DSS, in
particular, dialogues also with the DTC control unit
