Adventure together

The Multistrada V4 Rally is the ideal bike for two-up travel and has been designed to maximize the level of comfort for the rider and their travel companion. The windscreen has been redesigned and the case attachment now faces rearward to offer the passenger more room. The vast range of rider and passenger seats available as accessories ensure real ergonomic flexibility, with seat heights varying from31.7 in to 35.6 in.

Air protection

The entire front section is now more prominent, for greater air protection. The new deflectors help generate an elongated air bubble that can limit turbulence for the rider and particularly for the passenger.

 

Thermal comfort

The wings that carry fresh air to the rider’s legs can be closed to reduce air flow in cold weather and minimize splash on rainy days. Deactivation of the rear bank that acts to turn off the rear cylinders is now also extended to low-speed travel, when engine speed and the accelerator’s demand for torque are contained. This reduces consumption, emissions, and the heat transmitted to rider and passenger.

 

Comfort on any surface

With increased travel and fork sensor, the suspension ensures a comfortable ride on any type of surface, even in suboptimal conditions.
Off-road riding is facilitated with the new load mode dedicated to the Enduro riding mode, for riding ease that amateurs and experts alike will appreciate.

Globetrotter by Ducati
The greatest adventures begin in places you’ve never been before.
Reliable, robust, and as efficient through the turns as the Multistrada V4, the bike is designed to take on even longer distances and tackle the most challenging routes in total comfort, without compromising the dynamics.

 

Details that make the difference
Within the Multistrada range, the Multistrada V4 Rally stands out as the model best equipped to take you anywhere your sense of adventure might lead. Ducati has come up with a series of details to ensure epic adventures, in total comfort.

Ergonomics for long-range travel
In addition to a more comfortable seat, the ergonomics are redefined to guarantee both rider and passenger a more enjoyable ride. The Ducati Performance catalogue includes a vast range of rider and passenger seats available as accessories, to ensure the ideal ergonomics and the utmost comfort.

 

Minimum Preload and Easy Lift
The rider can “lower” the bike when stationary or travelling at low speed by reducing shock preload to a minimum with the electronic Minimum Preload system. The Easy Lift function makes it easier to lift the bike off the side stand, acting on the suspension when the ignition is on.

 

Travel-oriented electronics
The Multistrada V4 Rally was the first bike to be equipped with a front and rear radar system to support the Adaptive Cruise Control and Blind Spot Detection functions, systems that make long-range travel on the highway more enjoyable and less tiring. Vehicle Hold Control facilitates hill starts.

Push yourself to expand your horizons
A wonderful journey to Kenya riding the Multistrada V4 Rally: breathtaking landscapes and unique settings, with the reassuring reliability and safety of a motorcycle designed to unleash the spirit of adventure.

 

Easy low-speed riding and manoeuvring from a standstill

Multistrada V4 Rally features two new functions designed to facilitate low-speed riding and manoeuvring from a standstill.
Minimum Preload allows suspension preload to be reduced to zero, lowering the bike, while Easy Lift acts on the hydraulics, fully opening the suspension valves for a limited time after the engine is turned on so the bike can be more easily lifted off the side stand.

 

Adaptive Cruise Control: long-range travel without fatigue

The front radar, perfectly integrated into the front end of the Multistrada V4 Rally, controls the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) function that, by means of controlled braking and acceleration, automatically maintains the distance from other vehicles (set by the rider according to 4 levels) when riding at speeds between 30 and 100 mph.

 

Blind Spot Detection: all-encompassing safety

The rear radar, positioned under the light, can detect vehicles located in the so-called blind spot, or rather the area that cannot be seen by the rider directly or in the rear-view mirror. The BSD (Blind Spot Detection) system warns the rider with LED lights on the rear-view mirrors that light up on the relevant side every time a vehicle is detected in the blind spot.

 

Ducati Cornering Lights: even greater visibility

The Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally is equipped as standard with full LED lights and a front headlight complete with DRL and Cornering Lights. The rear light integrates the Ducati Brake Light function which automatically begins to flash if there is any sudden braking, to provide sufficient warning as to the sudden deceleration. The turn indicators, also LED, automatically switch off after use thanks to the auto-off system.

 

Designed to go far: V4 Granturismo

A valve clearance interval of 36,000 miles and a scheduled oil change every 9000 miles means only one thing – more time to enjoy the ride.

 

Heated hand grips and seat

The heated hand grips and seat mean that the bike can be used year-round. These elements are included as standard with the Adventure Travel & Radar and Full Adventure trims and are available as an accessory with the Radar trim.

Smooth power and lightness

The 1158 cc V4 Granturismo engine delivers 170 hp (125 kW) at 10,500 rpm and 125 Nm (12.7 kgm) at 8750 rpm and weighs in at just 147 lbs. Power and lightness that set a new benchmark for bikes in the category and ensure smooth and linear delivery at low rpm.

 

From 170 to 115 horsepower: off-road riding mode

Multistrada V4 Rally adopts a new off-road power mode that limits engine power to 115 hp for a more dynamic, direct response during the initial phase of throttle travel.

 

Lower consumption compared to the Multistrada V4

In addition to shutting off the rear cylinders when the bike is stationary, the new deactivation strategy extends to the entire rear bank even at low speeds, when engine speed and torque demand from the accelerator are low. This reduces consumption with respect to the Multistrada V4 S and extends range, thanks also to the increased tank capacity.
