Multistrada Rally 60,000km European Tour
Ducati UK is pleased to announce its participation in the Multistrada Rally 60,000km European Tour.

Over 42 weeks, the project will see 30 riders take turns on the latest Multistrada V4 Rally, riding through Europe covering France, UK, Poland, Austria, Spain and Italy.
Ducati Multistrada will showcase its reliability, performance and comfort along the 60.000 km adventure, which corresponds to the Multistrada interval for checking valve clearance.

If you want to be one of the lucky 30 to ride a leg of this unique tour, you can apply for one of the limited places via the official Ducati channels opening on 6th March, 2024.

Five riders will be selected per country, each travelling 2000km per week, as well as recording their travel experiences, which will be shared on Ducati digital channels.

The UK leg will commence on 12th June at Ducati Bournemouth, after taking the baton from the final rider crossing the channel from France. Riders will then cover routes through England, Wales and Scotland with the final UK leg ending in Misano at World Ducati Week before handing the bike over to the riders from Poland.
