DUCATI MULTISTRADA
The Ducati Multistrada introduces a new generation of
sport bikes, capable of excelling on every road you challenge with
amazing sports performance, outstanding comfort and everyday-use
versatility. Ideal for a day in the mountains, the daily commute or a
weekend tour, the Multistrada is aggressive like a sport bike when the
road turns twisty, yet smooth and relaxed when scenery beckons.
For 2007, the Multistrada features a potent new 1100 Desmo engine with a
quieter more robust ‘wet’ clutch, comfort enhancing vibration-isolated
handlebars, and a new maintenance program that reduces costs by as much
as 50% -- the Multistrada’s all-round performance is better than ever.
Developed on the winding mountain roads and city streets of Italy, the
Multistrada is a real-world motorcycle for real-world riders, a dream
come true, a high performance sports bike that doesn’t compromise
comfort, versatility or practicality.
The Multistrada breaks down all the barriers. Its unique versatility is
a matter of design. On mountain roads its impressive cornering
performance comes by way of Superbike-grade suspension, world-class
brakes and the renowned Ducati Trellis frame. For long journeys, the
longer travel suspension smoothes the way, vibration isolated handlebars
reduce fatigue and the relaxed riding position optimises comfort for
both rider and passenger. In town the agile chassis, wide bars and broad
power of the new 1100 engine make crossing busy city traffic an
adventure to look forward to.
It is this extreme versatility and all-round performance that prompted
US magazine Cycle World to nominate the Multistrada ‘Best Sport Tourer’.
The Multistrada is available in two versions: The impressive Multistrada
1100 and, for those who demand the ultimate in sport performance, an
all-conquering ‘S’ version, the Multistrada 1100 S.
MULTISTRADA 1100
The new Multistrada 1100 widens the horizons of all those who are ‘sport
motorcyclists’ at heart but still want a bike they can use seven days a
week. Riding a Multistrada makes every road a thrill. The punchy new
1100 Desmo L-Twin engine delivers smoother, more tractable power
delivery and, coupled with a refined chassis, delivers confident
handling and optimal comfort, even over long distances.
The unmistakable Ducati Trellis frame combines with fully-adjustable
suspension to adapt the bike to any road condition and every riding
style, while rider comfort has been further improved with new
vibration-isolated handlebars.
Superb road holding, a powerful new 1100 engine and all day comfort
gives the versatile Multistrada a unique personality and character in
true Ducati style.
The 1100 is the latest evolution of the Multistrada concept, introduced
by Ducati at the start of 2003. It contains all of the innovations that
helped to make the model a true point of reference for a totally new
market segment.
The characteristic two-part nose fairing, with a transparent screen that
moves with the handlebars, allows better than average steering
manoeuvrability. The unique tank and seat assembly comes from a single
moulding and provides a fuel capacity of 20 litres; one of the
innovations on the Multistrada 1100 is the inclusion of a fuel reserve
sensor. The joint action of the fuel level gauge and the new sensor
guarantees a reliable and constant indication of the amount of fuel
remaining in the tank at all times.
Two display management functions are new features on the 1100 model:
trip fuel and auto ‘light off’ system. The former is an additional trip
meter that is activated when the fuel reserve light is on, while the
latter is a feature that automatically switches off the lights after 60
seconds of key-on if the engine is not running.
Other style features of the Multistrada that remain unchanged on the
1100 version are the front headlight cluster, the single-sided aluminium
swingarm, the tail section and the aggressive exhaust unit.
Like the rest of the 2007 range the Multistrada 1100 fully complies with
EURO 3 exhaust emissions: the lambda probe inside the muffler unit
combined with a three-way catalytic converter ensure maximum efficiency.
The function of the lambda probe is to detect the amount of oxygen
present in exhaust gases and gauge the fuel mixture. In this way the
oxygen concentration through the catalytic converter allows the correct
chemical reaction and the three-way converter oxydizes the unburnt
hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide and reduces the nitrogen oxides.
Chassis
The renowned Multistrada chassis remains unchanged, guaranteeing
exceptional stability at speed, as well as fantastic agility through
fast bends, thus allowing expert riders to find it easy to achieve
blistering performance with the 1100.
The round tube Trellis frame is made from high quality steel (ALS 450)
for maximum rigidity and precise directional control.
The fully adjustable suspension of the Multistrada 1100 features
Marzocchi forks at the front with upside-down 43 mm stanchions.
Adjustments for hydraulic compression and rebound damping as well as
spring preload are standard.
The Sachs rear monoshock is equipped with a practical hydraulic remote
control to adjust spring preload, which operates through Ducati’s rising
rate linkages.
The Multistrada is equipped with an exceptional braking system; two 320
mm semi-floating discs at the front wheel with two 4-piston Brembo
callipers, while rear stopping power is provided by one 245 mm disc with
one Brembo 2-piston calliper.
Starting with Model Year 2007 the entire Multistrada family benefits
from new vibration-isolated handlebars, which through a pair of silent
blocks contained in the specially-designed steering head increases rider
comfort.
Engine
The Multistrada 1100 receives a boost in cylinder size thanks to an
evolution of the renowned Desmodue air-cooled twin-cylinder engine. For
this model the Ducati 1100 Dual Spark now has a displacement of 1078 cc,
which offers truly powerful torque and extraordinary reliability.
The new engine benefits from a bore increase of 4 mm to 98 mm, vs. the
1000 Dual Spark’s 94 mm. As a result the cylinder displacement is 1078
cc, a considerable increase on the 992 cc of the previous version.
This new engine now offers a power output of 95 HP at 7750 rpm and 10,5
Kgm of torque at 4750 rpm. These superb values contribute to the bike’s
rideability and the powerful mid-range delivery of this modern
air-cooled engine highlights the sporting character of the new
Multistrada 1100.
The engine has been designed to comply with the Euro 3 norms while, at
the same time, boosting performance.
Compact, powerful and acknowledged as the ultimate expression of the
Ducati philosophy of air-cooled twin design, the new 1100 Dual Spark
Desmo engine that equips the Multistrada family represents the result of
decades of experience and a whole series of innovations that extend from
the combustion chambers to the crankshaft.
The end result is a powerful engine that is particularly exuberant in
the mid-range and generally acknowledged as the most advanced air-cooled
L-twin ever designed. In addition to offering the significant advantages
of an air-cooled power plant, the 1100 DS also draws inspiration from
the advanced Testastretta racing engine, including the special casting
techniques used to make the cylinder heads, the use of oil-pressurized
plain bearings to support the camshafts, and the angles and
configuration of the valves.
All this, plus the exclusive Dual Spark ignition, with its "double flame
front", offers more complete combustion, while simultaneously boosting
mid-range power and reducing emission levels.
A closer look at the 1100 DS engine reveals a reduced angle between the
intake and exhaust valves, one of the basic principles with which the
renowned Testastretta engine was designed, which allows for a more
compact combustion chamber, reducing the volume and thus obtaining
improved combustion. The improved efficiency of the combustion chamber
allows the engine to run on a leaner air/fuel mixture without
compromising performance at high temperatures and significantly reduces
emissions of hydrocarbons (HC).
The camshafts are supported on oil pressurized plain bearings, which
reduce the overall dimensions, the weight, and the number of moving
parts, while also improving heat dispersal. The new configuration also
puts the camshafts in a more direct relationship with the valves,
reducing friction and stress on valve components and thus increasing
reliability. In fact, although the cylinder head is more compact, it
allows more space for the intake and exhaust valves, these being 45 mm
and 40 mm in diameter respectively. Further innovations include valve
seats made of beryllium bronze, a technologically advanced material that
affords better heat dispersal and wear-resistance and thus maintains
valve clearances more accurately over a longer period of time.
To guarantee high mid-range
performance, the crankshaft, cylinders and pistons have been designed to
obtain a bore and stroke value of 98 mm and 71.5 mm respectively. The
pistons are fitted with nitrided steel rings, which afford improved
sealing and significantly reduce oil consumption. The connecting rods
are made from a new material composition (30NiCrMo4) that has
exceptional flow characteristics during forging. In cross section, the
new rods are thinner side-to-side, but wider fore to aft, increasing
strength and lowering weight for increased reliability and performance.
The crankshaft is of a more compact design and the oil passages have
been strategically repositioned in areas less critical for its
structural strength. The result is a crankshaft that is more rigid and
with less flex, making for less vibration and improved reliability.
The 1100 Dual Spark engine also features a new ‘wet’ clutch that has
lighter lever effort, is quieter and more modular than a dry clutch and
is characterized by having exceptional wear-resistance.
Thanks to an excellent compromise between performance, reliability,
noise and lever effort, this clutch is ideal for sports riding and at
the same time offers ensures a more progressive action and feel.
The overall look of the engine is characterized by injection-moulded
timing belt covers in black, high mechanical and thermal resistance
plastic. The engine covers are in a new dark grey colour.
Starting with the entire 2007 range Ducati has introduced a new
maintenance programme in which servicing intervals have been extended,
and less parts are required and fewer operations are performed, thus
reducing the bike’s overall running costs by up to 50%.
