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 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 2020 Ducati Multistrada 1260 Enduro spec sheet below.
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.
-
⛽
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 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 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 1260 Enduro settles to a smooth idle within seconds.
Oil and filter changes
Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for a Multistrada 1260 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 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.
