The Ducati Multistrada V4 family (V4, V4 S, V4 Pikes Peak, and V4 RS) represents the ultimate pinnacle in the versatile and high-performance motorcycle segment. Combining innovative engineering, cutting-edge electronics, and unmistakable Italian design, this range covers everything from comfortable long-distance touring to uncompromising track performance.
At the heart of the Multistrada V4, V4 S, and Pikes Peak models lies the impressive Ducati V4 Granturismo engine with a displacement of 1,158 cc, delivering 170 hp (125 kW) at 10,750 rpm and maximum torque of 124 Nm at 9,000 rpm. For true racing enthusiasts, the Multistrada V4 RS is powered by the Desmosedici Stradale 1,103 cc engine, boosting output to 180 hp at 12,250 rpm, paired with an STM EVO-SBK dry clutch and an Akrapovič titanium silencer. All models strictly comply with Euro 5+ emission standards.
The chassis layout is built around a lightweight aluminum monocoque frame paired with a single-sided aluminum swingarm. Depending on the intended focus, suspension setups range from fully manual USD forks on the V4, semi-active Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DSS) on the V4 S, to the advanced Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 electronic system on the Pikes Peak and V4 RS. While the V4 and V4 S utilize a 19-inch front wheel for excellent stability across all road conditions, the Pikes Peak and V4 RS feature sport-focused 17-inch front wheels with wider rear tires (190/55 ZR17) for supreme agility and cornering precision. Decisive stopping power is guaranteed by Brembo Stylema monobloc calipers clamping dual 330 mm front discs, governed by Cornering ABS.
The electronics suite sets benchmark standards: a 6.5-inch TFT color display, Ride-by-Wire, multiple Riding/Power Modes, DTC, DWC, and EBC. The advanced front and rear radar system (enabling Adaptive Cruise Control and Blind Spot Detection) comes standard on the V4 S, Pikes Peak, and V4 RS models, ensuring maximum safety on extended journeys.
Rider ergonomics are optimized with adjustable seat height options (840–860 mm, or 840 mm on Pikes Peak) and a generous 22-liter fuel tank for extended range. Dry weights range from 225 kg for the super-sporty V4 RS to 232 kg for the fully-featured V4 S.
Whether choosing the refined Touring focus of the V4/V4 S, the track-bred spirit of the Pikes Peak, or the ultra-exclusive V4 RS adorned with carbon fiber components, the Ducati Multistrada V4 line delivers an unparalleled blend of power, technology, and style.
