Ducati Multistrada V4 RS Specifications

Powering the Ducati Multistrada V4 RS is a 1,103-cc V4 engine that churns out a maximum power of 180 bhp at 12,250 rpm and a peak torque of 118 Nm at 9,500 rpm. Ducati has integrated some lightweight elements into the motorcycle, reducing its weight by 3 kg. The Multistrada V4 RS rolls on 17-inch forged aluminum wheels. The bike’s tail section has also been redesigned to remove the top box mounting bracket and pillion grab handle.

Suspension duties are done by newly designed 48 mm Ohlins forks at the front and a TTX36 fully adjustable monoshock at the back. For braking, the Ducati Multistrada V4 RS features a 265 mm disc at the rear and 330 mm dual front discs at the front, backed by advanced dual-channel ABS.

The Managing Director of Ducati India, Bipul Chandra, commented on the launch of the new Multistrada V4 RS and said, “The Multistrada V4 RS is born when superbike meets touring. It’s the pinnacle of the Multistrada V4 family, powered by the Panigale V4-derived Desmosedici Stradale engine with a dry clutch and dedicated electronic calibrations to offer an unprecedented riding experience. It’s a unique motorcycle in personality and substance and is without doubt the most exciting Multistrada ever created by Ducati. I am personally thrilled for all future Ducatisti who will be lucky enough to add this motorcycle to their garage and proud to introduce such a special motorcycle to the Indian audience."
