Various websites reported earlier that Ducati registered the Multistrada S Corse name in the U.S., and motorcycle magazines suggested that there will be a more sportier version of the Multistrada, but the Italian manufacturer said the name was only registered as a back-up in case it couldn’t get the Pikes Peak name. „No, there is no Multistrada 1200 S Corse on the way, it is the Multistrada 1200 S Pikes Peak Special Edition,” said Diego Sgorbati, Director of Marketing at Ducati in Bologna.

“The Pikes Peak race victory was the one and only inspiration behind this version of the Multistrada, but the early stage of going through the homologation process was ahead of getting the official stamp of approval to use the special name. To be on the safe side, and show professional respect to all parties involved, we decided to also register the version under an additional name, but you will only see the Multistrada 1200 S Pikes Peak Special Edition as we have very kindly been granted permission from the legal holders of the title.”, he added.
