Ducati Multistrada 1260 S Grand Tour 2020

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".
