Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an experienced rider who is comfortable with strong power delivery and a tall, adjustable-suspension chassis.
PurposeBuilt as a high-performance sport-touring adventure machine, excelling at fast road riding and long-distance journeys rather than genuine off-road work.
Rider FitThe 850mm seat height and 222kg wet weight demand a rider of reasonably average-to-tall stature with good confidence handling a substantial, powerful motorcycle.
CharacterA charismatic V-twin adventure-sport hybrid that combines Ducati's desmodromic engine character with electronic semi-active suspension for a premium, engaging ride.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for a novice rider or anyone seeking a lightweight, genuinely off-road-capable dual-sport machine.

2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200 S Pikes Peak 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 2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200 S Pikes Peak, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 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.
