The Multistrada 1200 triumphed in the 2010 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in the USA.
It’s an extreme against-the-clock dash up the steep slopes of the Rocky Mountains that starts at an altitude of 2900 m and winds its way skywards to the finish line at the dizzying height of 4300 metres!
This victory demonstrated the excellent all-terrain versatility of this exceptional bike which, thanks to its Riding Modes, provides tip-top performance whatever the conditions.
Ducati designers, inspired by the ‘racing look’ of the bike used in the race, have now created the Multistrada 1200 S Pikes Peak Special Edition, launched to celebrate Ducati’s sensational victory in the 2010 race.
Discover the Multistrada 1200 S Pikes Peak Special Edition, which features a special equipment set-up and the Ducati Corse colour scheme

Features
This Special Edition underlines the race-bred heritage that exists deep inside every Ducati and follows a massive first year success for the award-winning Multistrada 1200, which set a new industry benchmark in motorcycle technology with the four-bikes-in-one concept.
The Multistrada 1200 S Pikes Peak is specially dressed in stunning Ducati Corse-style paint scheme with red trellis frame, passenger foot-peg hangers and engine guard anodised in black finish and sport red pin-striping on the wheels. In addition to the original equipment silencer and screen the Pikes Peak Special Edition arrives with a race-derived low screen in carbon fibre. A Ducati Performance carbon fibre front mudguard, and custom made seat detailed with red stitching complete an enhanced specification well worthy of a race-winning replica. Each Pikes Peak Special Edition Multistrada in North America will come with a numbered badge on the engine crankcase cover, noting the individuality of the motorcycle.
In conjunction with the launch of this striking new model, Ducati is excited to announce its entry in the 2011 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, featuring last year’s winning line up of Greg Tracy and Alexander Smith. Preparations have already begun for the defense of the title, and Ducati will be fighting for top time up the mountain come June. In addition to racing the event, Ducati will be organizing a Multistrada owner tour to the race; dubbed “All Roads Lead To Pikes Peak.” The event will be the first official Multistrada owner’s gathering, and details will be on the www.ducatiusa.com shortly.
The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, or “Race to the Clouds”, is situated in a range of the Rocky Mountains, 10 miles west of Colorado Springs and races 12.42 miles from a start line altitude of 9,390 feet to a finish line at 14,110 feet. First held in 1916, the event is now on the international calendar of the FIA in addition to holding seven motorcycle categories from 250-1200cc.
