Days after releasing the teaser, Ducati Motor has pulled the wraps off the Multistrada 1260 Enduro for the 2019 model year. As it was with the Multistrada 1200 Enduro on sale, the 2019 Ducati Multistrada 1260 Enduro gets the additional treatment for off-road applications, while retaining the improvements from the standard Multistrada 1260. This means that power continues to come from the 1262 cc Testastretta DVT V-Twin engine shared with the XDiavel tuned for 156 bhp and 127 Nm of peak torque.
Like the standard 1260, the Multistrada 1260 Enduro also comes with a range of improvements including more 85 per cent of torque available from as low as 3500 rpm. This allows for less frequent gear shifts, allowing the rider to tackle broken roads with ease.
