POWERFUL GIANT - DUCATI MULTISTRADA 1260 ENDURO
Motown India|August 2020
The Ducati Multistrada 1260 Enduro which we were riding was not a BS VI model, rather the one before that. Thanks to the covid pandemic, all big global motorcycle makers are just beginning to introduce their BS VI models in the country. But then again, BS VI is just an engine with a cleaner emission.

So how do I describe this tall machine? Words like intimidating, mammoth, powerful, scary, come to your mind, the moment you get closer to it. And when you are seated on it, you wonder why God did not make you 6 foot 2 inches tall. Yes, I feel this machine is ideal for tall muscular people, but what if you are couple of inches less than 6 feet? Well, I am a couple of inches short of 6 feet and I must tell you it was just fun riding this very intimidating machine. It just gets better and better when you get the right ground to ride it and your fears seem to dissipate as the wheels keep moving. As for the sound emanating from the exhaust, it’s kind of very no nonsense and not irritatingly loud and boisterous.

First and foremost, this big motorcycle is obviously a pain if you are to ride it in choc a bloc traffic. The engine gets warm and handling the big machine in thick of traffic can tire you out completely.

The Ducati Testastretta desmodromic variable time (DVT) 1262 L-Twin cylinder, 4 valves per cylinder, dual spark, liquid cooled engine produces a peak power of 158hp@9500rpm and a peak torque of 128Nm @7500rpm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed transmission.
