The new 1260 Enduro is lighter as well by 2 kg over the 1200 Enduro.

The 2019 Multistrada 1260 Enduro uses a recalibrated electronic semi-active Sachs suspension with 185 mm travel at the front and rear, while a 30 litre fuel tank makes for a range of 450 km. The bike continues to ride on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels, while the tyres have been upgraded to Pirelli Scorpion Trail II.
 
The 2019 Ducati Multistrada 1260 Enduro also comes with 5-inch TFT display for the instrument cluster, along with the Ducati Multimedia System that allows the rider to connect his smartphone. The Multistrada 1260 Enduro is being offered in two colour options - Ducati Red and Sand, while a host of accessories are also on offer. The adventure tourer will be making its public debut at the EICMA Motorcycle Show in Milan, Italy, next month while the India debut will happen sometime next year.
