Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits experienced riders who are comfortable managing a tall, powerful, and heavy adventure machine with strong torque delivery.
PurposeBuilt as a flagship adventure-touring enduro, it excels at covering long distances in comfort while retaining genuine off-road capability.
Rider FitIts tall seat height and substantial weight demand good rider strength and confidence, especially at low speeds or on uneven terrain.
CharacterIt has the personality of a muscular, tech-laden grand tourer that can also credibly venture off the beaten path thanks to long-travel suspension and a torquey V2 engine.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for shorter or less experienced riders seeking a light, nimble city commuter or a budget-friendly first big bike.

2018 Ducati Multistrada 1200 Enduro Pro Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 870mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2018 Ducati Multistrada 1200 Enduro Pro, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
