Ducati Multistrada 1260 Enduro launched at Rs 19.99 lakh

The bike gets 19 inch spoked wheels at the front and 17 inch wheels at the rear. Featuring electronic semi-active Sachs suspension (with 185 mm of travel both front and rear) and a 30-litre fuel tank, the Multistrada 1260 Enduro is, with a range of 450 km (280 miles) and beyond, an unstoppable globetrotter on any terrain. The tourer comes with dual 320mm semi-floating disc with Brembo monobloc M4 32-piston calipers at the front and 265mm disc with a 2-piston floating caliper at the rear. Cornering ABS is being offered as standard equipment on the new Ducati Multistrada 1260 Enduro.

The new Multistrada is more comfortable and fun to ride in any condition due to the revised ergonomics - seat, handlebar, and centre of gravity (all lower than on the 1200 version) and a new suspension setup. The new Multistrada 1260 Enduro boasts of the most advanced electronics package in the segment. The new 6-axis Bosch Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) controls Bosch ABS Cornering, Ducati Cornering Lights (DCL) and Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC). Riders can set both DWC and DTC to one of 8 different levels, or simply deactivate them. Also, as-standard on the Multistrada 1260 Enduro is Vehicle Hold Control (VHC), which makes uphill starts easier, especially with a full load.

A sophisticated new Human Machine Interface (HMI) is ensured via a 5inch TFT colour display, user- friendly switchgear controls and Ducati Multimedia System (DMS). The DMS connects the bike to the rider's smartphone via Bluetooth, giving access to all key multimedia functions (incoming calls, text messaging, music). It also features cruise control and a hands-free system for easy and comfortable riding.
