This new advanced LED headlight system with Cornering Light provides superior visibility by eliminating shadow areas in the area near the front wheel. The new dual headlight configuration gives the bike a more distinctive and modern look, integrating aesthetics and functionality in perfect harmony.

With an innovative seven-spoke design, the new forged wheels - 19’’ at the front and 17’’ at the rear - are light and sporty. The wheels make for a 2kg weight saving compared to standard types, for a more agile and precise bike that promises authentic and responsive sports performance. Equipped with Pirelli SCORPION™ Trail II tyres to ensure excellent performance on any terrain. 

Multistrada V4 exhaust flaunts tauter lines, complementing the slender profile of the tail section. The aggressive looking silencer produces an even more unique sound, amplifying that typical Ducati sports attitude.

The Granturismo V4 engine is Euro 5+ approved. Emissions and fuel consumption are reduced by up to 6% with respect to the previous model, without compromising the power. All this is possible thanks to the rear bank extended deactivation strategy. 

The V4 Granturismo engine of Multistrada V4 is equipped with a counter-rotating crankshaft, technology deriving from Ducati’s experience in MotoGP. This innovation acts “against” the gyroscopic inertia of the wheels, improving handling and riding precision.

The gear ratios have been very carefully calibrated. First gear is short to facilitate handling at low speed and off-road, while sixth gear is longer to ensure ideal engine speed during motorway travel. This combination ensures smooth and controlled riding, both on challenging terrain and over long range.

To reduce emissions and fuel consumption (the latter by up to 6%* with respect to the previous model), Multistrada V4 introduces the rear bank extended deactivation strategy. The two rear cylinders now not only deactivate when the bike is stationary but also when travelling at low speed. As the speed increases, or when the rider wants to fully exploit the power of the engine, the cylinders are reactivated, unleashing all the V4 Granturismo character and performance.

The exhaust has been refined by careful sound quality work, with an upgrade to meet Euro 5+ regulations*.

The new exhaust has been redesigned to create a sound that combines the sportiness of Ducati's DNA and the acoustic comfort derived from lowering the frequencies that could be fatiguing on long rides.

*only in countries where Euro 5 regulation applies.

The rear brake disc increases from 265 to 280 compared to the previous generation. The regressive rear lever has a new foot pedal that provides more grip and generates a better feeling of efficiency: greater braking force and increased modulability.

Braking is improved not only mechanically, but also electronically: the Front to Rear system already present among Ducati features, evolves by distributing braking according to the load on the bike.

Also introduced is the new Rear to Front system in the S version: in particular situations of lean angle and Riding Mode, when braking at the rear, the system will also intervene on the front brake.

All frame elements and engine components are optimised to reduce vibration and afford rider and passenger the most comfortable ride possible.

Climbing aboard the Multistrada V4 means being enveloped by a “bubble of comfort”, inside which you can ride without background noise even at high speeds. Minimal vibration reduces riding stress, particularly over long distances, as does reduced engine gear noise.

The seat, seat shape, and legroom are designed to make any rider comfortable while improving the passenger experience. Both the rider and passenger seat are adjustable according to two positions. No two motorcyclists are the same, which is why it is important to ensure every Multistrada rider is at ease on any type of road.

Both the rider and passenger seats are quickly adjustable to two positions, and thanks to the optional rider saddles, the height range is from 810mm to 890mm (with no active automatic lowering device nor suspension lowering kit) to ensure an excellent ergonomic saddle-handlebar-pedals triangle for people of all statures. 

The saddles are seamless to minimize high-pressure areas, contributing to less fatigue especially on long rides.

Multistrada V4 was the world’s first bike to integrate both front and rear radar, activating advanced rider assistance systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning and Blind Spot Detection. Adaptive Cruise Control automatically maintains a safe distance from the vehicle in front, while Forward Collision Warning warns the rider in case of a sudden approach. Blind Spot Detection helps to identity vehicles coming from behind, further improving safety.

*S Version Radar

Multistrada V4 S comes complete with a 6.5” TFT dashboard designed to offer excellent readability in all conditions thanks to optical bonding technology. The graphics are complete and provide the rider with all the necessary information.

The system features integrated navigation with the Sygic GPS app, implemented thanks to a phone’s mirroring function, which also allows the rider to manage calls, view their contact list, or listen to music via the Ducati Multimedia System (DMS).

The standard version is equipped with a 5-inch TFT.

Management is via a joystick positioned on the left block, for quick and simple menu navigation. There are dedicated buttons with which to switch Riding Mode and adjust the suspension, while Adaptive Cruise Control is managed using the classic button and + and – keys, which serve to increase or reduce the distance a rider wants to maintain from the vehicle ahead while travelling.
