VOL. 53 ISSUE 12 MARCH 29, 2016 P45 In creating the Enduro, Ducati has redesigned no less than 30 percent of the stan- dard 2016 Multistrada 1200, with 266 new part numbers out of a possible 840 now worked into the Ducati catalogue. And like the standard Multistrada, Ducati has given you four dif- ferent flavors for your Enduro palate—Touring, Enduro, Sport and Urban (check the sidebar for a full rundown of these models). The biggest differences between this and the standard Multistrada are the usual fodder you'd expect from a big dirt bike—tubeless spoked wheels now measuring 19 inches up front, 1.2 inches more ground clearance and three inches of extra wading depth, more relaxed steering geometry, longer travel suspension, body- work upgrades/reinforcements like aluminum side plates and underbody covers, and a wheelbase that's up 2.5 inches mainly thanks to a new stiffer and longer double-sided swing- A new seat adorns the Enduro. For our money it's much better than the standard Multistrada seat. Tarted up in traditional Ducati Red, the Enduro does look especially pretty. Note the Termi exhaust and crash bars that come as aftermarket extras.
