The Multistrada 950 is the ideal motorcycle for experiencing and enjoying the beauty of travelling every day thanks to the mix of Ducati riding pleasure and versatility that make it perfect for every use. The low weight, and the 19” front wheel ensure agility and ease of riding, while advanced technology ensures maximum safety and comfort in all conditions.
For the 2021 Model year, the Multistrada 950 S introduces the new “GP White” livery inspired by the MotoGP racing bike, which joins the classic Ducati Red version.
Based on a colour scheme that alternates between white and grey while maintaining the distinctive Ducati touch with some red accents on the frame and in the graphics on the alloy rims, this new version adds a sporty flair to the 950 S Multistrada, making elegance, flow and balance of the lines one of its strengths.
The engine on the Multistrada 950 is a 937 cm³ twin cylinder Testastretta 11° with Desmodromic valve. Euro 5 compliant (in Countries where the Euro 5 regulation is applicable), it features four valves per cylinder, a liquid cooling system and bore and stroke values of respectively 94 mm and 67.5 mm.

This engine can deliver a maximum power of 113 hp at 9,000 rpm and the compression ratio is 12.6:1. The Multistrada 950 engine breathes thanks to cylindrical-section throttle bodies with a diameter of 53 mm and a state of the art full Ride-by-Wire system.
Maintenance intervals are expected to be every 15,000 km (or 12 months), while valve play must be checked every 30,000 km.
The Multistrada 950 S comes standard with Ducati Quick Shift Up & Down (DQS), the system that lets you shift gear up and down without using the clutch, which translates into superior riding pleasure, greater ease handling off-road trails and a more relaxing ride in the city.
Read moreThe system works both when upshifting, for full throttle racing accelerations, and downshifting, with the reduction being more fluid thanks to the "blipper" that harmonises the engine's revolutions with the rotation speed of the primary shaft to avoid jamming, all supported by a clutch with anti-hop system. DQS is available as an accessory on Multistrada 950.
The Multistrada 950 is equipped with a wet clutch with self-servo action and anti-hop function. Its new hydraulic control system with adjustable lever help reduce lever effort. Because of this, the Multistrada 950 is easier on the gears, especially on city streets where acceleration and downshifting are more frequent.
The exhaust system layout consists of two primary manifolds converging directly into the 2-chamber muffler that acts as union, houses the catalytic converter and ends with a single side tailpipe, which was redesigned and made smaller in order to optimise the performance and noise output.
The "layout" adopted for the frame of the Multistrada 950 consists of a front trellis with large diameter thinner tubes, two cast side subframes enclosed by a rear support element made of fibre loaded engineering plastic for maximum torsional rigidity.
Read moreThe Multistrada 950 features minimum ground clearance of 183.5 mm. The 1,594 mm wheelbase ensures optimal load balance, which consists of the rider and the side panniers, where available, with ensuing benefits in terms of dynamic performance.
The new, lighter double-sided swinging arm is made of shell cast aluminium.
The Multistrada 950 S suspension is semi-active, controlled by the Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DSS) Evo system and, thanks to complete adjustability using the new intuitive HMI interface, it can be set to 400 different configurations. No other bike in the class allows such precision.
Read moreThe DSS Evo system acts continuously to guarantee the perfect balance of the vehicle in all road and load conditions, providing both rider and passenger with maximum comfort.
The DSS Evo system makes it possible to vary the bike's setup in a practical, intuitive and quick manner using the new HMI interface, to have the ideal suspension in any conditions. Simply select the riding mode – Touring, Sport, Urban or Enduro – and the load condition – single rider, rider with panniers, rider with passenger and rider with passenger and panniers. Moreover, it is also possible to act separately on the fork and on the shock absorber to make a fine adjustment of the front and rear suspension without the need for complicated settings. The system configuration possibilities are almost unlimited and there are up to 400 combinations of the parameters that can be electronically selected by the rider via the new interface.
The Multistrada 950 is fitted with new aluminium alloy rims, which were redesigned after the previous model and are approximately 500 g lighter in total. The sizes are 3.0” x 19’’ on the front and 4.5” x 17” on the rear, with Pirelli Scorpio Trail II tyres in sizes 120/70 ZR19 on the front and 170/60 ZR17 on the rear.
Read moreThis tyre was designed for the most demanding riders; its strengths include durability, consistency of performance throughout its life cycle and top performance on wet surfaces.
The Multistrada 950 S is available with alloy rims or in the version with tubeless spokes, aluminium grooves wheels featuring 40 crossing spokes and gravity cast hubs; it was developed and homologated with Pirelli Scorpion Rally studded tyres as well.
The Multistrada 950 is equipped with the Brembo braking system fitted with the Bosch ABS 9.1ME Cornering device, an integral part of the Ducati Safety Pack (DSP) together with Traction Control.
Read moreABS Cornering exploits Bosch's 6 axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) platform to maximise balancing of the braking power delivered to the front and rear wheels even in critical situations and with the motorcycle in a leaning position. By interacting with the Riding Modes, the system is able to provide the ideal solution for every situation and riding condition. Thanks to an ABS control processor, the Multistrada 950 boasts a front and rear Electronic Combined Braking System, optimised for Urban and Touring Riding Modes, but with reduced action in Sport mode, a context where preference is given to non-fully automated control.
The combined braking system increases braking stability by using four pressure gauges, to best distribute the braking power between the front and rear wheels. Conceived to improve rear tyre control in abrupt braking situations, the "lift-up prevention" function of the ABS system is fully enabled in Urban and Touring Riding Modes, while it is deactivated for use in Sport and Enduro mode. The ABS function is also available for front brakes only, a feature that Multistrada exploits in the Enduro Riding Mode in order to allow rear drifts when braking on bumpy ground. The system integrates perfectly with the Ducati Riding Modes and interacts on three different levels. Level 1 offers the highest performance for off-road use, eliminating rear lift-up detection and allowing the drift during braking with the ABS applied to the front only.
Level 2 ensures the balance between the front and rear without the rear wheel lift-up detection when riding in Sport mode, but with the cornering feature enabled and calibrated for a sporting character riding style, level 3 allows optimisation of the combined braking action in the Touring and Urban modes with rear wheel lift-up detection and the cornering feature enabled and calibrated for ultimate safety.
The Ducati Traction Control (DTC) on the Multistrada 950 is able to detect and subsequently control the sliding of the rear wheel, helping to increase the bike's performance and safety.
Read moreThe ABS that is installed on the Multistrada 950 is equipped with the Vehicle Hold Control (VHC) system. When activated, the system keeps the vehicle still by activating the rear brake (and automatically deactivates after a few seconds).
Read moreThe Multistrada 950 S is equipped with a high-resolution colour TFT instrument panel that is easy to read even in sunlight.
Read moreThe full-LED headlight of the Multistrada 950 S guarantees great efficiency and excellent stability (unaffected by voltage variations) compared to a traditional lamp-type headlight.
Read moreMoreover, the Multistrada 950 S headlight is a equipped with the Ducati Cornering Lights (DCL) function that optimises illumination of the road when riding around a bend based on the leaning angle of the bike.
The whole Multistrada 950 range features automatic switch-off of indicators based on the leaning angle of the bike. Thanks to the use of the IMU inertial platform, the turn signals turn off after finishing the turn or after having travelled a certain distance.
The Multistrada 950 is compatible with the new Ducati Link app, thanks to which it is possible to simply and intuitively set the travel mode (combination of Load and Riding Mode) and customise the parameters of each Riding Mode (ABS, Ducati Traction Control, etc.) using your smartphone.
Read moreIn order to ensure the highest riding comfort during long trips on the motorway, the Multistrada 950 S is equipped with a Cruise Control system, handled by backlit controls on the handlebar.
Read moreThe Multistrada 950 S can be turned on without a key thanks to a Hands Free system that raises safety standards. Just get walk towards your bike with the electronic key in your pocket. When you are about 2 metres away the bike will recognise the key code and allow activation. At this point you can press the key-on button to turn on the instrument panel and then start the engine.
