Ducati has officially launched its most advanced and performance-driven Multistrada to date, the Multistrada V4 RS, in India. Priced at INR 38,40,600 (ex-showroom), this new addition to Ducati’s lineup stands as the sportiest and most exclusive Multistrada ever produced, marking a significant milestone for the iconic brand as it celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Multistrada family.
Engine
The Multistrada V4 RS is powered by the Desmosedici Stradale engine, a unit derived from the Panigale V4 superbike. This engine is paired with a dry clutch, delivering an exhilarating blend of power and precision that is typically reserved for Ducati’s racing machines. The 1103 cc engine produces 180 bhp and 119 Nm of peak torque. The motorcycle also comes equipped with a distinctive Akrapovic silencer, enhancing both its performance and its unmistakable sound.
Design and Exclusivity
The Multistrada V4 RS features a striking livery designed by Ducati Centro Stile, drawing inspiration from the brand’s MotoGP heritage. This attention to detail extends to the RS logo, which is prominently displayed in the livery, on the key, and within the dashboard graphics. The bike’s slim, streamlined tail, designed exclusively for this model, adds to its aggressive, sporty character.
In keeping with its exclusive nature, the Multistrada V4 RS is produced in a numbered series. Each bike features a plate on the triple clamp indicating its unique production number, underscoring its status as a collector’s item.
Features
The Multistrada V4 RS is not just about power; it’s also engineered to provide an exceptional riding experience. The motorcycle is equipped with Ohlins suspension, a single-sided aluminum swingarm, and forged rims, all of which contribute to superior handling and stability. The advanced electronic package, which includes radar technology, ensures that the rider has access to cutting-edge safety and performance features.
Availability
The Ducati Multistrada V4 RS will begin deliveries in early September 2024 across Ducati India’s dealership network.
