The 2005 Ducati Multistrada 1000DS has a 992 cc air cooled 90° V-Twin with a 40 degree included valve angle, based on Ducati’s existing engines, with twin-spark plug heads, pressure fed plain camshaft bearings, redesigned crankshaft, higher oil pressure and volume, and new alloy clutch basket, drive and driven plates. The 2006 1000DS uses Ducati’s signature trellis frame with fully adjustable 165 mm travel Showa forks up front, and a single-sided swingarm, with an Öhlins fully-adjustable rear shock coupled with a rising rate, height-adjustable suspension system at the rear.

Brembo “Serie Oro” four piston brake callipers are used in the front and rear disc brakes. Front 320 mm discs, single 245 mm rear disc, and steel-braided brake lines are used throughout. The discs are now mounted directly to oversized hubs, eliminating the disc carriers.
