The only
way to really
make sure
the 1200
Enduro
stacks up
is to get it
really, really
dirty!
I
f ever you needed proof
Italy's most revered
motorcycle manufac-
turer is forging ahead to new
grounds, you need only look
at Ducati's 2016 model range.
No less than nine new bikes
have been created this year,
but this one, in my opinion, is
their most important.
And it's not an entirely
new bike.
The Multistrada 1200
Enduro represents the
realization of a long-held
dream developed deep within
Bologna's hallowed halls.
When the Multistrada 1200 S
of 2010 broke new ground for
Ducati by being "four-bikes-
in-one," it was primarily still
a road-going motorcycle with
a touch of dirt road potential.
It was far from the beast you
now see before you, a ma-
chine truly capable of taking
the heavyweight adventure
fight to the kings of the class,
the BMW R 1200 GS and
KTM 1190 Adventure.
