2016 Ducati Multistrada 1200s ENDURO

The 2016 Ducati Multistrada 1200 Enduro is a premium adventure touring motorcycle that combines Ducati's sportbike heritage with off-road capabilities. It was designed to offer a balanced mix of high-performance on-road handling and rugged off-road prowess, making it ideal for riders who enjoy long-distance touring and exploring varied terrains.

Key Features of the 2016 Ducati Multistrada 1200 Enduro:

1. Engine and Performance:

• Engine: The 2016 Multistrada 1200 Enduro is powered by Ducati's Testastretta DVT 1198cc V-twin engine. It produces 160 horsepower and 100 lb-ft of torque, providing excellent power for both on-road and off-road adventures.
• Desmodromic Variable Timing (DVT): The DVT system helps optimize the intake and exhaust valve timing to improve performance, efficiency, and emissions. It adjusts depending on engine speed, offering smooth and responsive power delivery.
• Transmission: The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox and is equipped with Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) for smoother and faster gear changes.

2. Off-Road Capabilities:

• Suspension: The Multistrada 1200 Enduro is equipped with long-travel, fully adjustable front (50mm Marzocchi fork) and rear (Sachs monoshock) suspension, providing excellent comfort and handling on rough terrains. The suspension offers up to 200mm of travel, allowing it to handle bumps, rocks, and other obstacles with ease.
• Wheels: The bike comes with 19-inch front and 17-inch rear spoked wheels (versus the road-based Multistrada's cast alloy wheels), making it more capable for off-road riding, especially on gravel or dirt roads.
• Tires: The Multistrada 1200 Enduro uses Pirelli Scorpion Trail II tires, offering a great balance between off-road grip and on-road performance.

3. Electronics and Technology:

• Ride Modes: The Multistrada 1200 Enduro features four ride modes: Urban, Touring, Sport, and Enduro. The Enduro mode optimizes power delivery and throttle response for off-road conditions, providing a smoother ride on rough surfaces.
• Ducati Safety Pack (DSP): This includes advanced features like Bosch Cornering ABS and Ducati Traction Control (DTC), which help maintain stability during braking and improve grip during acceleration, particularly in off-road scenarios.
• Skyhook Suspension: The bike features Ducati's Skyhook Suspension Evo system, which automatically adjusts the suspension based on road conditions for improved ride comfort and handling.
• Cruise Control: A handy feature for long-distance touring, making highway cruising more comfortable.
• Semi-active Suspension: The Multistrada 1200 Enduro is equipped with semi-active suspension, which automatically adjusts damping based on road conditions and rider input.

4. Design and Build:

• Chassis: The Enduro has a rugged, adventure-ready frame built to withstand the stresses of off-road riding. The bike features a tubular steel trellis frame combined with a large, upright stance that provides better visibility and control in various riding environments.
• Fuel Tank: It has an over-sized 30-liter (7.9 gallons) fuel tank, giving the bike a large range for long-distance rides, which is essential for adventure touring.
• Seat Height: The seat height is adjustable between 810mm and 830mm, offering flexibility for riders of different heights.

5. Comfort and Ergonomics:

• The riding position is designed for comfort over long distances, with an upright handlebar position and a relatively relaxed seat. The ergonomics are tailored for riders who want to spend extended hours riding, whether on highways or off-road trails.
• Passenger Comfort: The rear seat is spacious and cushioned, making the Multistrada 1200 Enduro suitable for two-up touring.

6. Advanced Instrumentation:

• The bike is equipped with a 5-inch color TFT display, which provides all essential ride data such as speed, engine revs, fuel level, and trip information.
• It also integrates navigation and Bluetooth connectivity with the Ducati Multimedia System, allowing you to connect your smartphone and access music, calls, and navigation.

7. Braking System:

• The 2016 Multistrada 1200 Enduro comes with powerful dual 320mm front discs with Brembo M50 monobloc calipers and a 265mm rear disc, offering excellent braking performance both on and off-road.
• The bike also comes equipped with cornering ABS, which ensures optimal braking in different lean angles, an essential feature for off-road and mountain roads.
