Overview

Introducing the 2018 Ducati Multistrada 1200 Enduro, a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of adventure with a perfect blend of performance, technology, and versatility. Positioned firmly in the Enduro-offroad category, this bike is designed for riders who crave the thrill of exploration both on and off the beaten path. Whether you're navigating twisty mountain roads or tackling rugged terrain, the Multistrada 1200 Enduro stands ready to deliver a riding experience that is as exhilarating as it is comfortable. With its striking design and premium craftsmanship, this bike is not just a mode of transportation; it’s an invitation to embark on your next great journey. At the heart of the Multistrada 1200 Enduro lies a formidable 1198cc V2, four-stroke engine that churns out a remarkable 152 horsepower at 9,500 RPM and a robust 128 Nm of torque at 7,500 RPM. This power enables seamless acceleration and impressive responsiveness, making it a joy to ride in all conditions. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and features a dual-spark ignition system, ensuring smooth and reliable performance no matter the terrain. With an efficient fuel consumption rate of 5.60 liters per 100 km, you can expect the Multistrada to go the distance, allowing you to focus on the adventure ahead rather than the next fuel stop. The Multistrada 1200 Enduro is packed with cutting-edge technology that enhances both safety and comfort. Equipped with Ducati's innovative Skyhook Suspension (DSS), it features fully adjustable Sachs forks and rear suspension that automatically adapt to changing road conditions, providing optimal handling and stability. The braking system, featuring Brembo components with ABS, ensures you can stop confidently in any situation. Additionally, with a generous fuel capacity of 30 liters, long-distance touring becomes a breeze. The bike’s adjustable seat height of 870 mm allows for a personalized fit, catering to a variety of rider sizes, while its electric starter and three available color options—classic Red, sleek Grey, and elegant Silk White—add to its appeal. **
