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.
