Ducati Multistrada 950 S 2019

Ducati Multistrada 950 S 2019

The Multistrada 950 S skilfully combines several Ducati models to create a superior touring enduro in the upper mid-range. The look remains almost unchanged from the big Multistrada 1260 - which of course gives it enormous prestige. The 114 hp engine comes from the Hypermotard series, and although the little Multi S has to carry 30 kilos more than the Hypermotard 950, it can still be ridden at a brisk pace. It should go without saying that comfort is a top priority on a touring enduro. Equipped with a wealth of electronics, it can do everything a modern touring bike has to do, and with the electronically adjustable Skyhook suspension, it also offers an extremely fine extra.
