The new Ducati Multistrada 950 weighs gets power from the 937cc liquid-cooled Testastretta L-twin engine to return 113bhp at 9,000rpm, and 70.95 ft-lb torque at 7,750rpm. This specific power offering looks to attract those who don’t want the power of the Multistrada 1200.
Riding modes include Touring, Sport, Urban and Enduro. The Ducati Safety Pack offers Bosch 9.1 MP ABS with 3-level adjustment and 8-level Ducati Traction Control. With each riding mode, the systems work differently and riders can personalise them.
The new all-LCD dash shows speed, rpm, total distance, selected gear, trip1 and trip2, engine coolant temperature, fuel level and time. Riding Mode information displayed shows miles remaining, real-time fuel consumption, average fuel consumption, average speed, air temperature, travel time and road ice warning.
