Intuitive agility meets solid stability

Part of the Ducati Skyhook Suspension Evolution, the Bump Detection system automatically identifies speed bumps and potholes using fork-mounted sensors. When the front suspension system detects a roughness in the terrain, it immediately adjusts the rear to absorb the impacts. This improves rider and passenger comfort, promoting a smooth ride even over rough terrain.

The new Suspension Modes can be adjusted while riding via a dedicated button, independently of the selected Riding Mode. This function allows the rider to customise suspension behaviour based on the riding conditions and personal preference, for greater flexibility and control while riding. With this option, the bike setting can be rapidly adapted to ensure the ideal response in every situation.

The rear shock on the new Multistrada V4 MY2025 has been optimized with an 8 mm increase in preload, extending the adjustment range from 12 to 20 mm. This improvement allows for more balanced calibration under different load conditions, optimising the suspension response both with a passenger and luggage and in normal riding conditions. This increase in preload significantly improves stability and precision, while heightening the effect of the Automatic Lowering Device for a comfortable and safe ride, even at full load.

Ducati Skyhook Suspension Evolution (DSS EVO) represents the latest evolution in Ducati semi-active suspension. This advanced system uses updated sensors to continuously monitor the road conditions and vehicle performance. Thanks to an ability to adapt in real time, the DSS EVO ensures superior riding comfort and excellent stability, improving the experience on any type of terrain.

The DSS EVO system further improves on the semi-active suspension with a fork-mounted sensor that supplies precise data in real time. This technology allows for predictive adjustment of the rear suspension, ensuring that the motorcycle responds in a smooth and stable way to variations in terrain and riding style. In this way, the DSS EVO optimises vehicle performance, for outstanding control and comfortable riding.

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 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.

The compact engine leaves more room to mount a seat that can be quickly adjusted to suit every requirement. The narrow centre section allows riders of all heights to touch the ground, a versatility that is heightened with two-position seat adjustment.

The seat is seamless to minimise any pressure zones, for a less tiring ride particularly over long distance. 

The seat-handlebar-footpeg ergonomic triangle is optimised to ensure maximum comfort even over long range.
