Ducati's flagship adventure touring motorcycle - Multistrada 1200 Enduro - is now on sale in India for a starting price of INR 17.44 Lakhs, ex-showroom Delhi NCR. In an otherwise cruiser line-up of Ducati's stable, this bike is the brand's first off-road focused model designed to take the rider beyond the tarmac. Moreover, the Enduro is the fourth variant of the Multistrada 1200 series in India, and is around Rs. 80,000 expensive than the 1200 S tourer. Worth the price, the Enduro is packed with the far-famed riding style of Ducati, ride comfort, and class-leading technology.
Powered by a 1198.4cc Ducati Testastretta DVT (Desmodromic Variable Timing) L-twin engine that generates a maximum output of 58bhp at 9500rpm and 136Nm of torque at 7500rpm, the Enduro is uses 19-inch front and 17-inch rear spoked wheels, semi-active electronic front and rear Sachs suspension, and a whooping 200 mm wheel travel from the suspension - all aiding the bike's off-road aspirations along with retained on-road abilities. The liquid-cooled engine is paired to a 6-speed gearbox. Further, the bike boasts a 30-litre fuel tank that extends the driving range to 450 kms, so that adventure-lovers need not think twice before taking on less-traveled roads.
