Ducati Multistrada V4

Ducati India has announced that it will launch the Multistrada V4 on 22 July. The Italian brand has already started accepting bookings for a token of Rs 1 lakh. For more details, read this story.

It packs a new 1158cc V4 Granturismo motor that makes 170PS and 125Nm of torque. It gets tech features like cylinder deactivation and has its valve service interval at a whopping 60,000km. The V4 motor makes less power but more torque than the Streetfighter V4.

The Ducati Multistrada V4 will be the third motorcycle in Ducati’s portfolio to feature a V4 engine after the Ducati Panigale V4 and the Ducati Streetfighter V4. Spy pics suggest the Multistrada V4 won’t stray away from the Multistrada 1260 in terms of styling. 

Of course, a couple of tweaks have been made to the fairing, LED headlight, side panels, and rear subframe help differentiate it from the older model. More importantly, it’s the first bike to feature radar-based adaptive cruise control tech.

The Ducati Multistrada V4 is likely to be priced at around Rs 20 lakh (ex-showroom). It will compete against the BMW R 1250 GS Adventure and the Harley Davidson Pan America 1250.
