Last week, the news was reported that Ducati’s “Multistrada 1200 S” and “Multistrada 1200 Enduro,” were officially adopted in Italy’s Carabinieri (National Security Police Corps).

They made a debut at the G-7 Summit held in Taormina, Italy from May 26th to 27th, so that they would have served as Prime Minister Abe from Japan and President Trump.

It was an active part in the important event where the world leaders gather together and it would be honored for Ducati. Incidentally, carabinieri is an elite unit which is also translated as military police and is a separate organization from the general police.

Special specification suitable for Elite troops

Multistrada, which was adopted for carabinieri this time, will be deployed in large Italian cities such as Rome and Milan in the future, and it seems that they will strive to strengthen emergency response and security maintenance service.

These multistraders are equipped with dedicated equipment, color and logo also changed to carabinier specifications. Something like speakers, sirens, lights, vehicle radio, as well as being modified to fit firearms.

Blue warning lights, specially made frame guards, and the logo of “CARABINIERI” on the black body are equipped with suitable equipment and design for the elite troops, this Multistrada has fearless and cool appearance as pictures show.

Based on the ultimate all-purpose machine

With the concept of “4 bikes in 1” (meaning that the performance of 4 types of motorcycles is consolidated into one), the Multistrada 1200S has four riding modes of “Urban” “Touring” “Sports” and “Enduro”. It is the ultimate multi-purpose machine.

The high performance water cooled V twin cylinder engine derived from Super Bike generates the maximum output 160 horsepower and plenty of torque at wide range of large torque by adopting the continuously variable valve timing mechanism (Testastretta DVT).

Equipped with the latest Bosch inertia platform, equipped with a semi-active suspension so-called “sky hook” in addition to cornering ABS and traction control, Multistrada offers safe, comfortable, powerful and outstanding running performance in every situation.

Equipped with a large screen, hand guard, a pannier case, it has high comfortability and loadability.

Multistrada is one of the representative adventure models which is also a global trend, especially “Multistrada 1200 Enduro” is a full-scale off-road specification equipped with front 19 inch spoke wheel and long stroke suspension,and given the ability to run even more harsh situation.

Multistrada seems to be a model born with optimal qualities for duties such as guards for VIPs and emergency response.

With this introduction, we would like to wish for even a little deterrence of crime and terrorism. Let’s expect the activity of Multistrada•carabinieri which became the guardian of the Italian citizen.
