Ducati
team is running fairly stock Multistrada 1200 machines. it benefit from upgraded
brakes, which feature Brembo MotoGP radial master cylinders and brakes pads, as
well as the Ducati Superbike 1198′s monoblock brake calipers.
Suspension is stock, but has been
massaged by Paul Thede at Race Tech, while Akrapovic has built a special
Evolution exhaust for the Ducati Multistrada 1200 S Pikes Peak race bikes.
Glossy aluminum superbike wheels are courtesy of OZ Wheels, while the subframe
and bodywork have also been modified by the team.
It also feature a full-band
auto-tuning ECU system, which should help the Multistrada’s deal with the
massive altitude change over the course of the race. Ducati won’t talk openly
about modifications to the motor, though it was suggested that not much work has
been done to the machines internally. We can imagine that the bike have had
their engines blueprinted, and that none of the major components have been
altered.
