For 2017, Ducati offers the Multistrada 1200 Enduro as an enduro / off-road motorcycle with 1198.40 cc on tap. The 2017 Ducati Multistrada 1200 Enduro is built around a V2, four-stroke engine running Desmodromic valve control valve actuation, a compression ratio of 12.5:1. Internally, bore and stroke are 106 x 67.9 mm. Out on the road, the Multistrada 1200 Enduro delivers 136 Nm @ 7500 Revolutions of torque. In everyday use, the 2017 Multistrada 1200 Enduro tips the scales at 254 kg, carries a 30-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 870 mm and spans a 1,594 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 55.2 kg heavier than the average enduro / off-road motorcycle in our database. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2017 Ducati Multistrada 1200 Enduro spec sheet below.
2017 Multistrada 1200 Enduro - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
🔧
Fuel injection: No choke, no jetting, no altitude compensation to think about - fuel injection just works across a wider range of conditions than carburetion.
-
⛽
Large fuel range: With a 30-litre tank, this isn't a bike you'll be stopping for fuel every hour - a real asset on longer trips.
Considerations
-
📏
Tall seat height: A 870 mm seat puts flat-footing out of reach for a lot of riders - sit on it in person before committing.
-
⚙️
Chain final drive upkeep: A chain drivetrain is the most common setup in its class, but it's also the one that demands the most regular hands-on maintenance.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Fuelling & injector care
Fuelling on the Multistrada 1200 Enduro comes from fuel injection. Cold starts and throttle response stay consistent across altitude and temperature, the main practical edge over a carbureted equivalent.
Brake disc and pad wear
Double disc. ABS. Bremo. Floating discs. Four-piston calipers. Radially mounted. up front provides the primary stopping power; inspect disc thickness and pad wear at each tyre change to catch scoring before it becomes a rotor replacement.
Suspension condition on used examples
Suspension duties are handled by Sachs 48 mm fully adjustable usd forks. Electronic compression and rebound damping adjustment with Ducati Skyhook Suspension up front and Fully adjustable Sachs unit. Electronic compression and rebound damping adjustment. Electronic spring pre-load adjustment with Ducati Skyhook Suspension at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.
Final drive maintenance
Chain final drive on the Multistrada 1200 Enduro means routine lubing and tension checks are part of ownership - skip them and sprocket wear accelerates noticeably.
Frame & chassis check
The Tubular steel Trellis frame chassis holds up well with normal use; on a used bike it's still worth checking the head-stock and swingarm pivot area for impact damage or corrosion.
Handling the weight at a standstill
The Multistrada 1200 Enduro's 254 kg kerb weight is worth factoring into how you handle it at a standstill - parking-lot manoeuvres need a bit more deliberate technique than on a lighter machine.
Multistrada 1200 Enduro - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
A pre-purchase check on the 2017 Ducati Multistrada 1200 Enduro should cover the same ground every time: service history, chain and sprocket condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept Multistrada 1200 Enduro settles to a smooth idle within seconds.
Oil and filter changes
Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for a Multistrada 1200 Enduro's engine - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.
Fuel system care
Injector systems like the Multistrada 1200 Enduro's hold up well with basic care - decent fuel, an occasional cleaner additive, and draining old fuel before any layup longer than three months.
