2012 Ducati Multistrada Pikes Peak Edition (U.S.) – Click above for high-res image gallery
To celebrate Greg Tracy's win at the Pikes Peak Hill Climb last year, Ducati is releasing a commemorative special edition of its Multistrada 1200S for the U.S. and U.K.
Pikes Peak Edition bikes will get a custom paint scheme based on the Ducati Corse livery, along with an anodized black engine and black wheels with red pinstriping. To make things a little louder and introduce more carbon fiber, the bike will be delivered across the pond with an EU-approved carbon fiber silencer from Termignoni and a low profile carbon fiber windscreen.
*Update: Sadly, we won't be getting the exhaust system here in the States, but we will get a unique numbered engine crankcase cover. We've added a U.S.-specific image gallery below and included both U.S. and UK press releases after the break.
To top it off, Ducati is throwing on a carbon fiber front fender and a special seat with custom commemorative stitching(!). Ducati will start hawking the Pikes Peak Edition Multistradas here in the States in June for $21,995 and in the UK in May, with a starting price of just over $27k.

DUCATI UNVEILS THE MULTISTRADA 1200 S PIKES PEAK SPECIAL EDITION
Cupertino, Calif. (8 March 2011)- Ducati unveils today the Multistrada 1200 S Pikes Peak Special Edition, in celebration of Greg Tracy's victory in the 2010 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The Special Edition follows a massive first year success for the award-winning Multistrada 1200, which set a new industry benchmark in motorcycle technology with its four-bikes-in-one concept.
The Pikes Peak Special Edition is specially dressed in a stunning Ducati Corse paint scheme with red trellis frame; featuring red pin-striping on the wheels and the passenger foot-peg hangers plus an engine guard anodized in black finish. In addition to the original equipment silencer and windscreen, the Pikes Peak Special Edition comes with a race-derived carbon fiber low windscreen, a Ducati Performance carbon fiber front mudguard and custom made seats with red stitching to complete a fabulous package well worthy of a race-winning replica. Each Pikes Peak Special Edition Multistrada will come with a numbered badge on the engine crankcase cover, noting the individuality of the motorcycle.
Winning the highly challenging and multi-surface Pikes Peak race- that climbs a mountain track through 4,300 feet of altitude change- further underlines the exceptional all-terrain versatility of the Ducati Multistrada. The race demonstrated how its four different riding modes can immediately adapt the motorcycle to any environment. The Sport, Touring, Urban and Enduro riding modes are selected by the simple click of a button; instantly transforming the Multistrada's suspension, power output and traction control settings electronically- a feature that Greg Tracy will use again in 2011.
In conjunction with the launch of this striking new model, Ducati is excited to announce its entry in the 2011 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, featuring last year's winning line up of Greg Tracy and Alexander Smith. Preparations have already begun for the defense of the title, and Ducati will be fighting for top time up the mountain come June. In addition to racing the event, Ducati will be organizing a Multistrada owner tour to the race; dubbed "All Roads Lead To Pikes Peak." The event will be the first official Multistrada owner's gathering, and details will be on the www.ducatiusa.com website shortly.
