What does the Ducati Multistrada 1200 Enduro offer
The Multistrada 1200 Enduro sits on a tubular steel trellis frame and features an angular-looking front apron, muscular fuel tank, stepped-up seat, and an attractive paint job as well as graphics work. The tires, skid plates, and decent ground clearance make it suitable for off-roading purposes. Further, it houses a digital instrument cluster and all-LED fitments for lighting.
