Electronic Riding Aid Systems

• ABS CORNERING AND FORWARD COLLISION WARNING: An anti-lock braking system is a safety system that prevents a vehicle’s wheels from locking during heavy braking. Essentially, the ABS regulates the braking pressure on the wheel, allowing it to continuously have traction on the riding surface. There are different ABS intervention levels, depending on the selected Riding Mode. The Front to Rear already present among Ducati systems, evolves by distributing braking according to the load on the bike. Also introduced is the Rear to Front system: in particular lean angle and Riding Mode situations, when braking at the rear, the system will also intervene on the front brake.
• ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC): Adaptive cruise control, also known by the acronym ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control), is an electronic control system that adjusts the speed of the vehicle while automatically maintaining a safe distance (selectable on four levels) from the vehicles in front. This makes it possible to ride at a constant speed on a motorway, for example, without twisting the throttle.
• BLIND SPOT DETECTION (BSD): The BSD (Blind Spot Detection) system signals vehicles that are in the blind spot of vision via the LEDs positioned on the rear-view mirrors, illuminating the one positioned on the side where it detects the presence of a vehicle. The BSD also signals the approaching from behind of vehicles at high speed.
• DUCATI BRAKE LIGHT EVO (DBL): System that flashes taillight and 4 arrows to signal hard braking to following vehicles.
• DUCATI CORNERING LIGHT (DCL): LED lights that turn on in the direction of the road, according to a defined lean angle when the bike is facing a curve, allowing the rider to better see the road
• DUCATI QUICK SHIFTER (DQS): Electronic system derived from racing that allows you to change gears without using the clutch and without closing the throttle when shifting to a higher gear.
• DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT (DRL): These are the daytime running lights that are used to comply with the obligation to use dipped headlights during the day.
• DUCATI TRACTION CONTROL (DTC): Traction control is a system that prevents (or limits) spin of the rear wheel under acceleration. Gently manages engine clearance recovery, modulating the torque delivered and avoiding the peak that can occur when clearance recovery is complete, so as to make it even easier and more predictable. acceleration out of corners.
• DUCATI WHEELIE CONTROL (DWC): System that controls the wheelie and allows you to achieve maximum acceleration performance with ease and safety.
• ENGINE BRAKE CONTROL (EBC): The EBC helps riders to optimize the stability of the bike in extreme cornering conditions, balancing the forces to which the rear tire is subjected in conditions of intensive application of the engine brake.
• EXTENDED CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (ECD): Shutting off the rear cylinders at idle when the bike is stationary, and the deactivation strategy extends to the entire rear bank even at low speeds, when the engine speed and torque demand from the accelerator are low.
• ÖHLINS SMART EC: Semi-active Ohlins suspension, mounted on the sportiest models in the Ducati range starting from the 1299 Panigale, based on the Öhlins Smart EC system.
• RIDE-BY-WIRE SYSTEM: Also known as electronic accelerator, it is a system that electronically manages the opening and closing of the throttle (s).
• VEHICLE HOLD CONTROL (VHC): Allows easier uphill starts even with a passenger and fully loaded bike. When the brake lever is pulled firmly, the system holds the vehicle stationary by activating the rear brake for several seconds until further acceleration or braking takes place. Easy to use, it ensures optimal bike control and maximum safety.

Features

• RACING LIVERY: The graphics incorporate elements inspired by the different spirits of Ducati Corse: MotoGP, Superbike, and, for the first time, Motocross. Supersport-style lines and colors emphasize the racing spirit and legacy of a 7-time winner of the legendary ‘Race to the Clouds’.

• IMPROVED CHASSIS: The sports riding position has been meticulously revised to ensure the utmost comfort, performance, and precision.
• RACE RIDING MODE: This dedicated configuration highlights the bike’s supersport attitude and offers an intense and responsive riding experience, on track and road.
• RACE RIDING MODE: The riding mode that makes Multistrada even sportier. Available only on the Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak and Multistrada V4 RS, Race Riding Mode replaces the Enduro mode of the Multistrada V4, offering an advanced configuration that maximizes performance. Optimized for an intense and responsive riding experience, it highlights the bike’s sports attitude and transforms every journey into a symphony of emotions.
• SPORTS RIDING POSITION: The specially designed riding position comes into its own during sports riding. Developed to ensure a precise and exhilarating riding experience, it offers the ideal balance between ergonomics and dynamism, adapting to any riding style.
• RACING LIVERY: Supersport-style lines and colors, inspired by the MotoGP, reflect the racing spirit of the Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak. A bike capable of winning seven editions of the legendary ‘Race to the Clouds’.
• AKRAPOVIČ SILENCER AND CARBON FIBER COMPONENTS: The Akrapovič exhaust combines performance and lightness in one unique solution. It continues to limit noise emissions to enable access to areas with noise restrictions. The carbon fiber elements do not just reduce weight but add a touch of style and sports attitude.
• ÖHLINS SMART-EC 2.0 SUSPENSION: The Öhlins Smart-EC 2.0 suspension of the Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak offers superior riding comfort thanks to an updated control strategy. With greater hydraulic support and a shock optimized for every load configuration. For standout performance in every condition, more precise during sports riding and smoother when touring.
• 17” WHEEL: The 17’’ front wheel guarantees supreme control and handling. With Marchesini forged wheels, Diablo Rosso IV tires, and an evolved design, it expresses all the sports attitude of the Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak, heightening performance and precision.
• RACE RIDING MODE: In this riding mode, the Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak maximizes engine and chassis performance, unleashing the full 170 hp of the V4 Granturismo engine and all the advantages of the Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension. Ducati Traction Control and Ducati Wheelie Control intervention is reduced to a minimum and the Cornering ABS is set to level 2, allowing for controlled lifting of the rear wheel to fully exploit the braking phase, even on the racetrack.
• SPORT RIDING MODE: With this Riding Mode, the Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak delivers maximum power (170 hp) with a particularly reactive throttle response and a sporty suspension set-up. Ducati Traction Control and Ducati Wheelie Control intervention is slightly more conservative for Race mode, while ABS is set to level 2, allowing for controlled lifting of the rear wheel to maximize braking performance.
