Design Designed to conquer all roads, following an approach that combines aesthetics, ergonomics and aerodynamics, the Multistrada V4 strikes at first sight for the fluidity of its lines, the lightness and the compactness. And for the unmistakable Ducati personality. The compact and sophisticated front, with its characteristic DRL, shows the resolute look of someone who is ready to take on any terrain. Its surfaces convey a feeling of solidity without heaviness. The arrows integrated in the side panels, the doublesided swingarm and the rear trellis frame are cycling solutions leading to an extremely robust result, from both an aesthetic and a functional point of view.

Engine The heart of the Multistrada V4 is the V4 Granturismo, the latest creation in Ducati’s long motoring history, a new technological pillar that elevates the sportiness imprinted in the Ducati DNA towards new horizons of usability and solidity. Derived from the experience of the Desmosedici Stradale, made lighter and more compact than the Testastretta DVT by a meticulous work in the design and development phase, the new V4 Granturismo is an engine with 1,158 cc and 170 hp of power, smooth and regular at low revs, exciting and performing when you want to open the throttle. Designed for long mileage, its spring-loaded timing system extends the main maintenance interval to 36,000 miles, a value that has no equal in today’s motorcycling world. Pag. 15
