Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour: full-optional travel

• The Multistrada V4 is designed for long-distance travelers seeking maximum comfort and safety, thanks to a comprehensive, no-compromise specification
• The Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour is arriving at dealerships featuring an exclusive livery with dedicated finishes

Sunnyvale, Calif., October 1, 2026 – Ducati presents the new Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour. A model for Ducatisti who love limitless travel—in total comfort and safety—and see every departure as the start of a discovery. Designed to tackle long journeys from the first mile, the Multistrada V4 Grand Tour offers a comprehensive configuration and an exclusive, unmistakably Ducati identity, defined by a unique livery that blends elegance with sportiness.

Designed around the rider, it comes fully equipped with the accessories needed to cover long distances "first class." These features are integrated into a dedicated package that enhances the bike's overall quality, making every leg of the journey simpler, more comfortable, and more engaging.

Whatever the destination, the Multistrada V4 Grand Tour retains the character that distinguishes every Ducati: V4 engine performance, handling precision, and the thrill of tackling every curve. State-of-the-art assistance systems and technologies dedicated to visibility and vehicle control inspire confidence and peace of mind on the road, leaving room for what truly matters: experiencing the journey as an adventure of freedom, exploration and limitless discovery.

The Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour is instantly recognizable thanks to its dedicated livery, rich in details such as the black finish on the handlebars, risers, and triple clamps, as well as the "Grand Tour" branding on the rims. It comes standard with a radar system featuring Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), and Forward Collision Warning (FCW)—functions that enhance safety and riding comfort on long-distance trips. Also standard for safety are the TPMS (which displays tire pressure on the dashboard), auxiliary LED lights, dynamic turn signals**, and a rear fog light; these features improve visibility and make the bike easier to spot at night or in fog and bad weather.

The techno polymer side cases, standard on the Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour, are integrated into the bike's livery. With a combined capacity of 16 gallons, they let you carry everything you need, even on the longest journeys. The standard center stand makes handling the cases easier and safer, whether mounting and removing them or opening and closing them.

Standard heated grips and heated seats for both rider and passenger further enhance comfort on the Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour. Additionally, the hands-free fuel cap simplifies refueling, so you can keep the bike key in your pocket at all times.

As with all motorcycles in the Multistrada V4 family, the Grand Tour features a phone-mirroring navigation system, turning the 6.5-inch TFT dashboard into a color, map-based navigator that also displays essential riding data.

The Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour features the Automatic Lowering Device, making the bike easier to handle at low speeds and at stops. The system automatically lowers the bike by up to 30 mm when speeds drop below 6 mph and returns it to riding height above 30 mph. Meanwhile, the Easy Lift function reduces the effort required to lift the bike off the side stand by opening the suspension hydraulics when the ignition is turned on.

Appearance
The Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour features dedicated graphics that are both elegant and dynamic. The bodywork livery is complemented by a black finish on the frame, swingarm, triple clamps, side cases, and handlebar. The rider and passenger seats feature special detailing.

Engine
The 1,158 cc V4 Granturismo engine delivers 170 hp at 10,750 rpm and 91 ft-lb of torque at 9,000 rpm. Thanks to the Extended Cylinder Deactivation strategy, the rear cylinder bank is deactivated not only at idle when stationary but also under specific riding conditions; this helps reduce fuel consumption and emissions by up to 6% compared to the previous generation, without compromising the engine's character or performance.

These figures are supported by sophisticated technical solutions, such as a counter-rotating crankshaft, which works against the wheels' gyroscopic inertia. The result is smooth power delivery at low rpm, strong torque in the mid-range and high-power output at the top end.

Safety and Electronics
The Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour benefits from Ducati's latest electronic advancements. The Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO) estimates the forces acting on the vehicle by simulating inputs from numerous virtual sensors, thereby improving the effectiveness of the electronic controls and refining the ABS Cornering and Ducati Wheelie Control strategies.

The advanced Electronic Combined Braking System manages brake distribution between the front and rear to ensure optimal performance based on riding conditions and load. The rider can also customize the Engine Brake Control level by choosing from three different intervention settings.

During emergency braking, the Ducati Brake Light EVO also activates the turn signals, improving the vehicle's visibility to traffic behind.

On the Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour, the inertial platform communicates continuously with the Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DSS) EVO system. With a new fork position sensor and predictive logic such as bump detection, the system adjusts suspension response in real time based on road surface conditions, improving both comfort and riding precision.

The Auto-leveling function automatically detects the motorcycle's load and maintains a consistent stance across various usage configurations. Riders can also adjust suspension response while riding by using a dedicated control on the left handlebar switchgear.

Finally, smartphone mirroring capabilities—implemented via the Ducati Connect system—allow for simple, intuitive control of phone functions and music.

Colors and Availability
The new Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour will be available at North American dealerships starting in February 2027 and start at $30,995, exclusively in the Grand Tour livery.

Further information and images of the new model are available at Ducati Media House.
