ROAD NEWS decided to participate in a demanding rally like the Transanatolia with a practically standard bike,” explained Andrea Rossi. “The rally proved to be even more challenging to complete than I thought. We had to tackle exhausting stages of slow, stony and technically punishing mountain, very fast stages on the Anatolian dirt tracks and stages on the sand of the Black Sea beaches. The Multistrada 1260 Enduro overcame all adversities in an excellent way. For me, it was a great joy to take it to victory in the Twin-cylinder category and in the top 10 of the overall classification”. In total the Multistrada 1260 Enduro covered the seven stages in seven days, with a daily average of 450km for eight hours of navigation per day. It climbed a mountain up to 3000 metres above sea level and reached a top speed of 203km/h on the salt lake of Tuz Golu. KIWI RIDER 89
