DUCATI DRE Experience
After six successful years , the DRE Adventure format returns in 2023 with eight appointments included in the Ducati Riding Academy calendar .
The DRE Adventure is a course dedicated to adventouring enthusiasts who want to learn the secrets of on and off-road riding , experiencing the qualities of Ducati models in the beautiful scenery of the Tuscan hills . The bikeset confirms the tried and tested Multistrada V4 S and DesertX , and introduces the protagonist of the third episode of the Ducati World Premier 2023 , the new Multistrada V4 Rally .
The Multistrada V4 Rally is the ideal travelling companion , designed to be easy and intuitive also in off-road use , with greater comfort for rider and passenger and an increased range compared to the Multistrada V4 . The ultimate bike to satisfy the most tireless motorcyclists and accompany them on their great adventures without stopping at anything . Also , the perfect bike to learn the techniques of off-road riding , and enjoy to the max the emotions of touring far from tarmac roads .
The DRE Adventure format is characterised by a wide-ranging program that includes practice sessions alongside an evocative tour through the countryside where it is possible to appreciate the dynamic characteristics of Ducati motorbikes on different terrains . Thanks to high-level teaching , the course aims to provide riders with the opportunity to discover the secrets of the adventouring world : from the correct position on the bike , to learning the most effective off-road riding techniques , through to technical and logistical advice in preparation for the trip and the management of any unforeseen events that may arise during the ride . Furthermore , thanks to the extensive customisation options for saddle and suspension , with different raised and lowered solutions , each of the bikes used in the DRE Adventure courses is tailored to the physique of each participant .
All DRE Adventure events are based in the stunning location of Castello di Nipozzano , in the province of Florence . Owned by the family of the Marchesi de ' Frescobaldi , this castle is a perfect place to enjoy a complete experience , combining the pleasure of riding on the roads of Tuscany with its breathtaking views and the opportunity of discovering the excellent local food and wine . There are eight appointments for 2023 : the first two in May ( 25-26 and 27-28 May ), four in July ( 13- 14 , 15-16 , 20-21 and 22-23 July ), followed by two more in September ( 7-8 and 9-10 September ).
The DRE Adventure program is spread over two days . The first day is dedicated to establishing contact with the bike and carrying out technical exercises to gain confidence in off-road riding , while the second day includes a tour with both on- and off-road stretches , which immediately puts the riders in a position to put into practice what they have learned on the course .
A team of excellent instructors has always been one of the strong points of the DRE formats . The DRE Adventure is in fact part of the DRE Academy program , an activity that has reached a comprehensiveness of offer unparalleled in the two-wheel panorama , which in its twenty years of activity has trained and entertained over 28,000 enthusiasts . Even in the case of the DRE Adventure , the team , led by Andrea Rossi ( winner of the Transanatolia Rally for two consecutive years and Italian Motorally and TT raid champion for twin-cylinder bikes ), is made up of Ducati champions and official test riders .
