LONG-TERM DUCATI MULTISTRADA

SKYHOOK

The quality of life and long distances

with the Multistrada were defi nitely

improved by the semi-active Skyhook

suspension. The ever-changing,

reactive damping mechanism adds

smoothness to touring and control

when you’re hammering it.

It does add a fair bit to the price of

the bike. The base-model Multi doesn’t

have it and if that’s where your

budget tops out, you’ll not regret the

purchase. If you have the money to

spend on any of the Skyhook models

you shouldn’t hesitate. The more miles

you clock up, the more you’ll be glad

you got it.

“On the eve of the arrival of the updated 2015 model, with its

variable valve timing and other upgrades, it’s time to review

the Multistrada after its long-term test”
