Ducati, the official motorcycle partner of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC), is honoring the centennial of this historic race as well as commemorating its six PPIHC victories and current course record by releasing a limited edition Pikes Peak 100th Anniversary Replica Kit. For decades, the PPIHC has brought competitors together from all over the world to race against the clock while enduring unpredictable weather conditions, 156 treacherous turns and traversing at extreme speeds with hopes to be named the "King of the Mountain" once they reach the 14,115-foot summit. Earning multiple victories at the race since 2010, the Ducati Multistrada 1200 Pikes Peak is one of the most significant race bikes that represents Ducati North America's racing heritage. Created specifically for the centennial anniversary of the PPIHC and exclusively for North America, production will be limited to 400 replica kits; each kit is included with the purchase of a new 2016 Ducati Multistrada 1200 Pikes Peak, available only at authorized Ducati dealerships.
