Ducati

Ducati off-road riding academy

In a sure sign that brand development knows no bounds, Ducati is hosting a series of off-road riding courses on the Multistrada 1200 Enduro for riders to learn and improve safe off-road riding skills whatever the terrain.




Beppe Gualini and a highly qualified team of instructors will head-up the courses, with courses for riders of all levels of experience from novices to expert enduro enthusiasts.

Located at Castello di Nipozzano in Tuscany, the historical estate of the Marquis of Frescobaldi, DRE (Ducati Riding Experience) Enduro, an off-road Academy will be designed to let participants "develop the skills needed to leave the asphalt behind and deal with low-grip conditions, building up a store of experience and sensitivity that will also make road riding safer".

From June to September 2016, DRE Enduro will hold eight technical, theoretical and practical sessions over a total of 36 hours. Participants will be divided up into small groups according to experience and riding skill; they'll then ride the new Multistrada 1200 Enduro and "enjoy an extraordinary opportunity to learn and improve their riding skills thanks to the know-how and experience of their qualified instructors, headed by former Paris-Dakar rider Beppe Gualini".




Courses are designed for all riders, whatever their level of skill or experience - "everyone will be able to enjoy the outstanding versatility of the new Ducati maxi-enduro, improve their riding style on every type of terrain, and do so in complete safety".

Castello di Nipozzano is an ancient fort 30 km from Florence, and the vast grounds surrounding the Castle, with awesome views and wide open spaces make it the perfect venue for the Ducati Academy. 



Beppe Gualini has taken part in over 65 such races (having competed in no less than ten Paris-Dakar events) and he'll be offering participants the benefits of all his experience in both the theoretical and practical sessions.

The DRE Enduro package also includes the food and wine experience: during daytime and evening meals at the Castello, participants will be able to savour the traditional dishes of Tuscany with their distinctive flavours and first-class ingredients.
