Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Multistrada V2 S 2023

The Ducati Multistrada V2 S impresses with its sporty DNA, state-of-the-art technology and agile riding performance. It is the first choice for dynamic riders who value performance and precision when travelling. Despite its lower weight, it impresses with its high stability and comprehensive electronics package. Minor weaknesses such as the limited comfort at lower speeds or the somewhat clunky quickshifter in tight hairpins hardly spoil the positive overall picture.

Versatile, semi-active suspension

well-modulated brakes

sporty yet comfortable riding position

well suited for smaller riders

extensive standard equipment comfortable for pillion riders

sporty, revvy engine with typical Ducati character

light weight of only 225 kg - ideal for sporty handling

extensive electronics package including cornering ABS, traction control and quickshifter

narrow waist, optimum ergonomics for smaller riders

Torque somewhat restrained at low revs

quickshifter not always liquid at low speeds

seat comfort on long lengths less pronounced than on touring-orientated competitors

Ducati Multistrada 1260 S Grand Tour 2020

The Italian all-rounder with plenty of engine power, semi-active chassis, lots of sophisticated technology and endless riding fun in almost every situation! The Ducati Multistrada 1260 S in its maximum Grand Tour configuration leaves virtually nothing to be desired. For a touring enduro of this calibre, it really is surprisingly light and at the same time quite agile. The adjustable seat allows even smaller riders to get a foothold in the saddle, and the Multistrada's intuitive menu navigation makes manuals a thing of the past. The top-class Italian racing enduro steed is truly a jack-of-all-trades! Only the wind protection could be a bit more rider-friendly and the tank could do with a few more litres - complaining at the highest level. Get on it, start the engine, enjoy, have fun!

Incredibly powerful and fun power unit - 158 hp and 129 Nm catapult you forward in every area

Italian all-rounder with just the right touch of temperament

outstanding electronic assistance systems provide a considerable plus in safety

Grand Tour version of the Multistrada is definitely more than just suitable for touring

handling surprisingly "easy" even for smaller pilots

For us one of the most beautiful touring enduros (nevertheless a matter of taste)

4-year warranty!

The windshield could be a little more pronounced, but accessories can help

the tank capacity of 20 litres is a little tight for a touring enduro

fully equipped, you need the necessary "small change".
