Introducing the 2019 Ducati Multistrada 1260 D-Air, a motorcycle that effortlessly straddles the line between adventure touring and everyday commuting. Renowned for its ability to tackle a variety of terrains with confidence, the Multistrada 1260 D-Air positions itself firmly in the allround category, catering to riders who seek versatility without compromising on performance or comfort. With its striking Ducati Red finish and aggressive lines, this bike is not just a mode of transportation; it's a statement on two wheels. At the heart of the Multistrada 1260 D-Air lies a potent 1262cc V-twin engine, delivering an exhilarating 158 horsepower at 9,500 RPM and a robust torque output of 129.5 Nm at 7,500 RPM. This dynamic powertrain ensures that the Multistrada responds eagerly to the twist of the throttle, providing riders with a thrilling experience whether navigating winding mountain roads or cruising on the highway.

Coupled with a sophisticated Bosch electronic fuel injection system, the Multistrada delivers impressive fuel efficiency of 5.20 liters per 100 km, allowing for extended journeys without frequent stops. Ducati has equipped the Multistrada 1260 D-Air with cutting-edge technology and features that elevate the riding experience. The motorcycle boasts fully adjustable 48mm USD forks in the front and a fully adjustable Sachs unit in the rear, both providing 170mm of travel to absorb bumps and ensure a smooth ride. The advanced braking system, featuring radially mounted, four-piston calipers and ABS, ensures maximum stopping power and safety in all conditions. Riders will appreciate the adjustable seat height of 825mm, which allows for a tailored fit, and the added D-Air technology, which enhances safety by integrating a wireless airbag system for added protection during rides. **
