New Testastretta DVT 1262
The latest evolution of the Ducati Testastretta engine, the Testastretta DVT 1262, lets you to enjoy maximum performances riding the new Multistrada 1260 Enduro. The increase in displacement and the use of the DVT (Desmodromic Variable Timing) system allow for torque delivery that is both full and fluid at low revs, guaranteeing sporty performance at medium-high speeds.
Ready to cross every continent
The chassis dimensions of the new Multistrada 1260 Enduro were redefined to achieve the best compromise in terms of off-road riding and handling, with a passenger or luggage. The fully adjustable suspensions managed with the Ducati Skyhook Suspension Evo (DSS) system allows unprecedented versatility.
Advanced electronics
The new Multistrada 1260 Enduro is equipped with an innovative electronic instrumentation that makes riding safe and comfortable. The redesigned interface is even more intuitive: Cruise Control, Hands-Free startup and backlit handlebar switches make the riding experience much more enjoyable and adapt perfectly to the rider’s needs.
Enduro inspiration, Ducati technology
The new Multistrada 1260 Enduro is equipped with the most advanced Ducati technology. Bosch Cornering ABS controls braking by maximising active safety even when the motorcycle is leaning into curves. The Ducati Traction Control modulates the slide of the rear wheel. But that’s not all: Ride By Wire, Ducati Wheelie Control, semi-active Ducati Skyhook Suspensions (DSS) Evolution.
Worry-free rides
The constant investment in quality guaranteed by the design, advanced materials and engineering has made it possible to modify the maintenance programme in a highly competitive manner, extending regular maintenance intervals to 15,000 km or one year and the valve clearance check at 30,000 km, with a great benefit for customers.
Testastretta DVT 1262
Thanks to its new displacement of 1262 cm³, the new Multistrada 1260 Enduro engine sets outstanding new riding and performance standards. In developing this engine, used also on the new Multistrada 1260, Ducati engineers focused on guaranteeing the maximum and best possible torque delivery at low and mid range engine speeds.
Ducati QuickShift (DQS)
The Multistrada 1260 Enduro comes standard with Ducati Quick Shift Up & Down (DQS), the system that lets you shift gear without using the clutch, which translates into superior riding pleasure, greater ease handling off-road trails and a more relaxing ride in the city.
Desmodromic Variable Timing (DVT)
Developed and fine-tuned by Ducati engineers, the DVT system optimises performance and fluidity of delivery at all end speed levels.
Exhaust system
In order to achieve the performance of the Multistrada 1260 Enduro, the exhaust and intake systems were also redesigned. The exhaust has a new pipe design, a new internal layout of the pre-damper and a new silencer, while the air intake inlet area has also been redesigned.
Chassis and ergonomics
The chassis of the Multistrada 1260 Enduro has been redesigned, reducing the suspension travel compared to the 1200 version: the travel of both wheels is 185 mm. This change led to a lowering of the seat height to 860 mm from the ground, making the bike easier to handle for all riders.
Ducati Skyhook Suspension Evo (DSS)
The Multistrada 1260 Enduro suspension is semi-active, controlled by the Ducati Skyhook Suspension Evolution (DSS) system and, thanks to complete adjustability using the new intuitive HMI interface, it can be set to 400 different configurations. No other bike in the class allows such precision.
Frame
The most important chassis dimensions like vehicle wheelbase, swinging arm length and steering geometry (trail and offset) were defined by seeking the best compromise between off-road riding, manoeuvrability and stability at high speeds.
Tyres and rims
The Multistrada 1260 Enduro comes standard with Pirelli Scorpion™ Trail II tyres in sizes 120/70 R19 on the front and 170/60 R17 on the rear.
Bosch ABS Cornering

Ducati Traction Control (DTC)
Ducati Traction Control is a system derived from racing that acts as a “filter” between the right hand of the rider and the rear tyre.
Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC)
Adjustable on eight levels, the system analyses the position of the bike (wheelie) and consequently manages torque and power to guarantee maximum acceleration in safety without misalignments. Like the DTC, it has eight levels and has been incorporated in the Riding Modes.
Vehicle Hold Control (VHC)
The ABS that is installed on the Multistrada 1260 Enduro is equipped with the Vehicle Hold Control (VHC) system. When activated, the system keeps the vehicle still by activating the rear brake (and automatically deactivates after a few seconds).
