Pros and Cons in comparison

Aprilia Caponord 1200 ABS 2017

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

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.

Electronically adjustable Skyhook chassis

elegant look of the big 1260 sisters

cultivated engine

stable brakes

comfortable seating position

comprehensive electronics package

good, height-adjustable windshield.

Expensive

saddle integrated deep into the machine is not everyone's cup of tea

hardly suitable for off-road use on an enduro.
