Ducati India has launched a new colour for the 2022 Multistrada V4S. This is the new Iceberg White colour option that comes with a price tag of INR 27 lakh (ex-showroom). This price figure makes it around INR 1.5 lakh more expensive than the existing colour options in the S variant. Besides the new colour, the 2022 Multistrada V4S also gets key upgrades in other areas. This includes minimum preload setup and changes in the infotainment system. Moreover, the accessory catalogue now has two new elements – lowered suspension kit and aluminium bags.
Other than this, the motorcycle remains pretty much the same. Thus, the Multistrada V4S continues with the 1,158cc, Gran Turismo V4 engine. The performance output of the motor reads as 167.6 BHP at 10,750 RPM and 121 Nm of peak torque at 8,750 RPM. The motorcycle uses wire-spoke wheels supported by Ducati Skyhook Suspension EVO (DSS). This setup has a travel of 220mm at both ends. Also, the fuel tank of this variant is of 30-litre capacity, thus enhancing the riding range significantly.
Typical of a Ducati, the Multistrada V4S comes loaded with electronic aids. Of which the key safety features include Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Blind Spot Detection (BSD). The motorcycle also benefits from a host of other rider-centric aids. This list includes riding modes namely, Sport, Touring, Urban, and Enduro, cornering ABS, wheelie control, cornering lights, and traction control. To further the list is the pretty usable 6.5-inch full-colour TFT console. With this, the rider can access navigation, calls, and music in a much more seamless manner.
In India, customers looking at the Ducati Multistrada V4S have other options as well. This includes the likes of the BMW R 1250 GS Adventure, Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250, and Triumph Tiger 1200.
