Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits experienced riders who are comfortable managing strong, immediate power delivery and a tall, substantial machine.
PurposeIt's built as a high-performance sport-tourer that excels at devouring twisty roads and covering long distances quickly in comfort.
Rider FitRiders should be reasonably fit and of average-to-tall stature, as the tall seat height and 235 kg wet weight demand confident handling at low speeds.
CharacterIt rewards a rider who wants Ducati sportbike character and electronic sophistication wrapped in a versatile, all-road-capable package.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for new riders, those seeking a light city commuter, or anyone planning serious off-road adventure riding.

2010 Ducati Multistrada 1200 S Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 850mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2010 Ducati Multistrada 1200 S, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
