2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak Overview

For 2013, Ducati offers the Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak as a super motard motorcycle with 1198.4 cc on tap. The 2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak is built around a V2, four-stroke engine running Desmodromic valve control valve actuation, a compression ratio of 11.5:1. Out on the road, the Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak delivers 110.3 kW @ 9250 rpm of peak power and 124.5 Nm @ 7500rpm of torque. In everyday use, the 2013 Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak tips the scales at 222 kg, carries a 20-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 850 mm and spans a 1530 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 11.5 kg heavier than the average super motard motorcycle in our database. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak spec sheet below.

2013 Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Strong power output: Peak output on the Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak is 110.3 kW @ 9250 rpm and 124.5 Nm @ 7500rpm of torque - strong numbers for what it is.
Fuel injection: No choke, no jetting, no altitude compensation to think about - fuel injection just works across a wider range of conditions than carburetion.
Large fuel range: With a 20-litre tank, this isn't a bike you'll be stopping for fuel every hour - a real asset on longer trips.

Considerations

Tall seat height: A 850 mm seat puts flat-footing out of reach for a lot of riders - sit on it in person before committing.
Chain final drive upkeep: A chain drivetrain is the most common setup in its class, but it's also the one that demands the most regular hands-on maintenance.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Cooling system servicing

With Liquid cooled, thermal management is largely automatic, but the coolant has a service life of its own - replace it on the manufacturer's interval to protect the water passages and thermostat.

Fuelling & injector care

Fuelling on the Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak comes from Mitsubishi electronic fuel injection system. Cold starts and throttle response stay consistent across altitude and temperature, the main practical edge over a carbureted equivalent.

Brake disc and pad wear

2 x 320 mm Semi-floating discs, radially mounted Brembo calipers, 4-piston, 2-pad. ABS as standard equipment up front provides the primary stopping power; inspect disc thickness and pad wear at each tyre change to catch scoring before it becomes a rotor replacement.

Suspension condition on used examples

Suspension duties are handled by Sach 48 mm fully adjustable USD forks. Electronic compression and rebound damping adjustment with Ducati Skyhook Suspension up front and Progressive linkage with fully adjustable Öhlins monoshock. Electronic compression and rebound damping adjustment. Electronic spring preload with DSS aluminium single-sided swingarm at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.

Final drive maintenance

Chain final drive on the Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak means routine lubing and tension checks are part of ownership - skip them and sprocket wear accelerates noticeably.

Frame & chassis check

The Tubular steel trellis frame chassis holds up well with normal use; on a used bike it's still worth checking the head-stock and swingarm pivot area for impact damage or corrosion.

Handling the weight at a standstill

The Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak's 222 kg kerb weight is worth factoring into how you handle it at a standstill - parking-lot manoeuvres need a bit more deliberate technique than on a lighter machine.

Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

A pre-purchase check on the 2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak should cover the same ground every time: service history, chain and sprocket condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak settles to a smooth idle within seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for a Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak's engine - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. The sump holds 4.90 litres, so budget for that volume of quality motorcycle-specific engine oil. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.

Fuel system care

Injector systems like the Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak's hold up well with basic care - decent fuel, an occasional cleaner additive, and draining old fuel before any layup longer than three months.
