DUCATI MULTISTRADA 1200 ENDURO
FIRST RIDE
P50
seat height of 34.25 inches,
and this is the immediate fact
you notice when first straddling
the beast. This is a big bike to
take off road, yet thanks to the
revised suspension and rider
ergonomics including the rede-
signed seat, the Enduro carries
its extra girth superbly well. The
longer travel suspension, revised
geometry and larger front wheel
are the keys to unlocking the En-
duro's dirty habits, with off-road
poise the standard Multistrada
could only dream of.
It's pleasing to see just how
well the Enduro handles when
on a full 7.9-gallon tank, with the
weight integrated into a beautiful-
ly balanced chassis that makes
short work of light- to medium-
difficulty trails, although like any
big adventure bike I'd think twice
before taking it somewhere
really gnarly as the weight can
get away from you very quickly if
you're not careful.
The revised suspension will
take you places the standard
Multistrada simply can't reach
and in greater comfort to boot.
You've got the Ducati Skyhook
suspension system at your
service here, giving you the
usual options of varying preset
preloads for rider, rider with pas-
senger, rider with luggage, etc.
The overall suspension damping

HAS REDESIGNED NO LESS THAN 30
PERCENT OF THE STANDARD 2016
MULTISTRADA 1200, WITH 266
NEW PART NUMBERS."
