Ducati Multistrada MTS 1200S D-Air, Owner'S Manual

Page: 51 / 443

The Multistrada 1200 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,
DWC signals and DSS semi-active suspension
information, thereby optimising the efficiency of all
these systems, regardless of motorcycle position.
Ducati Cruise Control
Multistrada 1200 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).
Ducati SkyHook Suspension
Multistrada 1200 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.
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.
