2020 Ducati Multistrada 1260 Enduro Overview

For 2020, Ducati offers the Multistrada 1260 Enduro as an enduro / off-road motorcycle with 1262 cc on tap. The 2020 Ducati Multistrada 1260 Enduro is built around a Four stroke, 90° °L° twin cylinders,Testastretta DVT with Desmodromic Variable Timing, DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder engine, a compression ratio of 13.0:1. Out on the road, the Multistrada 1260 Enduro delivers 158 hp @ 9500 rpm of peak power and 128 Nm @ 7500 rpm of torque. In everyday use, the 2020 Multistrada 1260 Enduro tips the scales at 254 kg, carries a 30-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 861 mm and spans a 1592 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 84.5 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 2020 Ducati Multistrada 1260 Enduro spec sheet below.

2020 Ducati Multistrada 1260 Enduro compared with other bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category

Measured against other bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category in our database (up to 1434 models, one entry per model), the 2020 Ducati Multistrada 1260 Enduro comes out as follows.

With 1262 cc, the Multistrada 1260 Enduro has the joint 8th largest engine displacement of 1434 bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category, 160% above the category average of 486 cc.
Power output of 116.2 kW is higher than that of 779 of the other 799 bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category.
Only 33 of the other 815 bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category have a higher torque than the 128 Nm of the Multistrada 1260 Enduro.
Narrowing the field to the 473 models within five model years of it, the engine displacement of 1262 cc is larger than that of 461 of the other 472.

Versus the 2019 model

The figures we track are unchanged from the 2019 model: peak power, peak torque, wet weight, displacement and seat height all match.

2020 Multistrada 1260 Enduro - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Strong power output: Peak output on the Multistrada 1260 Enduro is 158 hp @ 9500 rpm and 128 Nm @ 7500 rpm of torque - strong numbers for what it is.
Fuel injection: No choke, no jetting, no altitude compensation to think about - fuel injection just works across a wider range of conditions than carburetion.
Strong front braking: The disc front brake bites hard and stays consistent - a solid foundation whether it's stock or upgraded with braided lines.
ABS fitted: With ABS on board, hard braking on a damp or gravelly surface is far less likely to end in a locked wheel.
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: An 861 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

Cooling system servicing

With Liquid cooled, thermal management is largely automatic, but the coolant has a service life of its own - replace it on the manufacturer's interval to protect the water passages and thermostat.

Fuelling & injector care

Fuelling on the Multistrada 1260 Enduro comes from Bosch electronic fuel injection system. Cold starts and throttle response stay consistent across altitude and temperature, the main practical edge over a carbureted equivalent.

Brake disc and pad wear

2 x 330 mm Semi-floating discs, radially mounted Brembo monobloc Evo M50 4-piston callipers, 2-pad, radial pump with cornering ABS as standard equipment 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 Electronically adjustable semi-active inverted 48mm Sachs fork up front and Electronically adjustable semi-active Sachs shock 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 1260 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 1260 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 1260 Enduro - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

A pre-purchase check on the 2020 Ducati Multistrada 1260 Enduro with its 1262 cc enduro / off-road should cover the same ground every time: service history, drivetrain condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. This model runs chain final drive, so check chain slack and sprocket tooth profile specifically - a worn sprocket is a cheaper fix now than after it's chewed up the next chain. Now 6 years old, this enduro / off-road is as likely to show age-related wear (perished rubber, seized fasteners, degraded seals) as mileage-related wear. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept Multistrada 1260 Enduro settles to a smooth idle within seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for the Multistrada 1260 Enduro's 1262 cc four stroke, 90° °l° twin cylinders,testastretta dvt with desmodromic variable timing, dohc, 4 valves per cylinder - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. With a 13.0:1 compression ratio, running the octane grade specified in the manual matters more than on a lower-compression engine. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.

Fuel system care

Injector systems like the Multistrada 1260 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.
