With its striking design and powerful presence, the Multistrada 1260 Enduro is not just a motorcycle; it’s an invitation to explore uncharted territories, offering riders the freedom to go wherever their spirit leads. At the heart of the Multistrada 1260 Enduro is the remarkable Testastretta DVT engine, boasting a displacement of 1262 cc. This powerhouse produces a staggering 158 horsepower at 9,500 RPM and a generous torque of 128 Nm at 7,500 RPM, ensuring exhilarating acceleration and smooth power delivery across the rev range.

Equipped with advanced rider aids, including Traction Control, Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC), and multiple Riding and Power Modes, this motorcycle adapts to the rider's skill level and the conditions at hand. The suspension system, featuring fully adjustable 48mm USD forks and a Sachs unit at the rear, provides 185 mm of travel, ensuring a smooth ride over rough terrain and excellent handling on the road. Additionally, the bike’s cornering lights and Vehicle Hold Control (VHC) enhance safety and confidence, especially during low-speed maneuvers and tricky conditions. With a robust tubular steel trellis frame and an impressive 30-litre fuel tank, the Multistrada is built for long, adventurous rides, all while offering a comfortable seat height of 840 mm. **
