The DVT system allows optimised timing
according to engine load and speed, as well as to
continuously advance or delay exhaust and intake
valve timing through the rotation of the
thereby ensuring utmost throughout the
rpm range and high at high speed, with
an optimised torque curve at low rpm.
Ducati Quick (DQS) option
The DQS with up/down feature allows the rider to
and 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
and and combines the action on
ignition advance and injection, available in the
system, with controlled opening for
operation during
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 on vehicle body (and,
consequently, on rider) and allowing the optimal
contact between wheels and asphalt. The DSS
system purpose is to improve the by
a standard passive suspension keeping at the same
time the same
Ducati Traction Control (DTC)
The Ducati Traction Control system (DTC) supervises
the rear wheel slipping control and vary
through eight levels that are calibrated to
a tolerance level to rear wheel
slipping. Each Riding Mode features a pre-set
intervention level. Level 8 indicates system
intervention whenever a slight slipping is detected,
while level 1 is for use and very riders
because it is less sensitive to slipping and
intervention is hence
Measurement Unit (IMU)
The Multistrada is with a Bosch
equipped with measurement unit
(IMU). The IMU constantly monitors motorcycle
incidence and lean angle, matching them with ABS
