Ducati Launches ‘Ducati Link’ Smartphone App

With the app, riders can now record their travel routes, create a highlight and share it with other bikers

Just days after the launch of the Multistrada 1260, Ducati has launched a companion app to make motorcycle touring experiences more intuitive. Available on both Android and iOS platforms, “Ducati Link” communicates with the Multistrada’s onboard unit to record information like power delivery, lean angle and acceleration. Afterwards, you can check all aspects of the ride you just had using the data collected by the application. 

The rider can also customize different riding modes: ABS, Ducati Traction Control (DTC) directly from the smartphone. For added practicality, it also notifies riders of their next service date, stores owner's manual and locates nearby Ducati store.

Then there’re the functions that don’t require you to be the owner of a Multistrada. You can record various travel routes and create a highlight. The app also allows you to integrate photos and comments, which can be used later to share with other bikers.  

The Italian marque partnered up with technology firm e-Novia from Milan to develop the 'Ducati Link App.' While the idea sounds promising, it remains to be seen how practical it turns out for Indian customers. For now, the Ducati Link app is limited only to the Multistrada 1260 family. However, the company has stated that it will extend it to other models as well.
