Ducati Multistrada V4 RS
Ducati has taken its adventure-touring flagship to the next level with the new Multistrada V4 RS, blending sportbike DNA with long-haul comfort. At its heart sits the 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale engine, borrowed from Ducati’s superbikes, pushing 180 horsepower and 87 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a race-inspired dry clutch and titanium Akrapovič silencer, the sound alone is worth the ride.
But this isn’t just a track-hungry machine, it’s built for real-world travel. A lightweight titanium rear subframe supports a touring top case, while updated Oehlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension offers four modes, Track, Dynamic, Touring, and Low Grip, so you can dial in performance for any road or trail. The braking system also gets a boost with Brembo Stylema calipers up front and a beefier 280mm rear disc.
Electronics see a major upgrade with the new Ducati Vehicle Observer algorithm, adapted from MotoGP, for razor-sharp data analysis and improved rider assistance. Meanwhile, forged Marchesini wheels, a lithium-ion battery, and generous carbon fiber touches keep weight down while adding plenty of style.
The result? A motorcycle that’s as ready for cross-country expeditions as it is for carving canyon roads. With its blend of Italian performance, touring practicality, and race-bred engineering, the Multistrada V4 RS sets a new benchmark in the adventure bike world.
The Ducati Multistrada V4 RS will arrive in U.S. dealerships in December 2025, starting at $39,995.
