Ducati Multistrada 1200 Enduro 2018

Ducati Multistrada 1200 Enduro 2018

Anyone who has always been annoyed that the Ducati Multistrada 1200 is so much, not to say only, designed for on-road use without any off-road ambitions can now finally breathe a sigh of relief - the Multistrada 1200 Enduro actually cuts a good figure off-road. Longer suspension travel, a higher handlebar, twin-sided swingarm and fine-tuning of the electronics allow the bike to take on rougher terrain despite weighing 254 kilos ready to ride. The huge 30-litre tank also allows a range of up to 450 kilometres - good conditions for a round-the-world trip. What is particularly surprising and pleasing is that such a universal talent does not necessarily have to look clunky and rugged, but can be as pretty as the Mulitstrada 1200 Enduro.
