The Ducati Multistrada V4 S is the flagship of Ducati’s adventure range, a motorcycle built to cross continents with the pace and precision of a sports bike. At its core sits the 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine, producing 170hp and a broad wave of torque while offering remarkably long valve-service intervals. Smooth, effortless and endlessly capable, it turns big miles into an event to look forward to rather than a chore to endure.
Choosing the S transforms the Multistrada V4 into a genuinely intelligent machine. The headline upgrade is Ducati Skyhook Suspension DSS EVO, a semi-active system with a new fork-mounted sensor and predictive functions. It reads bumps as they arrive and adjusts damping in real time, keeping the bike flat, planted and comfortable whether you are two-up with panniers or riding hard and solo. An Automatic Lowering Device drops the ride height below 10km/h so you can plant your feet with ease, then restores full stance as you pull away.
The S also brings a generous touring specification. A large TFT dashboard, Ducati Cornering Lights, keyless ignition, backlit switchgear and heated grips are all part of the package, alongside the full electronics suite of riding modes, cornering ABS, traction and wheelie control. Radar-assisted adaptive cruise control with blind-spot detection is available for added reassurance on long journeys. Brembo Stylema calipers grip twin 330mm front discs for strong, reassuring stops, and the riding position is roomy enough for the longest of days in the saddle.
Performance never comes at the expense of usability. The seat adjusts between 840 and 860mm, the screen is easily set on the move, and at 232kg the big Multistrada carries its weight low and feels lighter than the numbers suggest once rolling. Cruise control, cornering lights and refined wind protection make hundreds of motorway miles pass in comfort.
Available in Ducati Red, Thrilling Black and Arctic White, the Multistrada V4 S is one of the most complete motorcycles Ducati has ever built, equally at home on an Alpine pass or the daily commute.
