In a bold step, Ducati presents the Multistrada V4 RS, a remarkable addition to their iconic Multistrada family, marking its 20th anniversary. This extraordinary model boasts the Desmosedici Stradale engine, derived from the Panigale V4, redefining the sport-touring motorcycle genre.

The Multistrada V4 RS embraces performance, equipped with the Desmosedici Stradale engine, delivering an exhilarating 180 horsepower at 13,500 rpm, while maintaining the Multistrada’s characteristic smoothness and versatility. This powerhouse is accentuated by the unique and unmistakable Desmosedici Stradale exhaust note, complemented by an Akrapovič silencer and the STM-EVO SBK dry clutch, further enhancing the auditory experience.

Ducati has spared no detail in creating this superbike-inspired tourer. Lightweight components, such as carbon fiber superstructures and a titanium subframe, contribute to reduced weight. A captivating livery, influenced by MotoGP aesthetics, sets the Multistrada V4 RS apart. The RS logo, designed by Centro Stile, is a distinct signature throughout the model.

In the electronics department, radar technology enables Adaptive Cruise Control and Blind Spot Detection, making it safer and more convenient. The advanced TFT dashboard supports Ducati Connect, enhancing navigation capabilities. Ergonomically, the Multistrada V4 RS has sportier elements, such as higher footrests and a more aggressive handlebar.

This model is produced in a limited numbered series, each indicated by an anodized aluminum plate displaying the Italian flag on the triple clamp. The bike’s impressive capabilities are accompanied by a longer 30,000 km maintenance interval for valve clearance checks.

The Multistrada V4 RS combines sportbike technology with Ducati’s touring legacy, providing riders with the ultimate combination of performance, style, and sophistication. It’s available in a striking Iceberg White livery and will be in Ducati dealerships from January 2024. Ducati’s exclusive “4Ever Multistrada” warranty further emphasizes the brand’s commitment to quality and performance.
