The Ducati Multistrada V2 is the accessible, twin-cylinder member of the Multistrada adventure-tourer family, offering versatility and Ducati sportiness in a lighter package. It is aimed at riders who love a manageable V-twin ADV that is exhilarating yet approachable across conditions. New Panigale-inspired headlights and DRLs give it an aggressive, modern front end. For riders who want a premium adventure tourer that is lighter and easier to handle than the V4, it is a compelling choice.
Power comes from a latest-generation 890cc V-twin, delivering accessible yet exhilarating performance suited to touring, commuting and spirited riding. The new model is lighter than before, weighing around 199kg without fuel, which sharpens handling and usability. Strong mid-range makes overtaking and varied riding effortless. It balances Ducati sportiness with genuine everyday versatility. The reduced weight and revised chassis make it noticeably easier to manage at low speeds and in traffic than the larger V4, without losing Ducati’s signature sporty edge.
This bike suits riders who want a versatile, manageable adventure tourer for touring, commuting and light off-road use. It is ideal for those who find the V4 too large or powerful and prefer a lighter, more accessible twin. Riders who value Ducati character with everyday usability will appreciate it. It is less suited to those wanting maximum touring range or hardcore off-road ability.
Braking uses Brembo discs with cornering ABS, supported by Ducati Traction Control, wheelie control and engine-brake control, with five ride modes including Enduro and Wet. The S variant adds semi-active Skyhook suspension with a minimum-preload lowering function. A monocoque front frame sharpens handling. For a mid-weight ADV, the safety and electronics package is comprehensive.
The Multistrada V2 comes with a 5-inch TFT display with a revamped interface, full-LED lighting and five ride modes, with the S adding semi-active suspension.

For riders wanting a feature-rich mid-weight ADV, the equipment is comprehensive.
As a premium imported ADV, the Multistrada V2 should be bought with a Ducati service centre confirmed nearby, as coverage is smaller than mass-market brands. The V-twin is proven and reliable with timely service. Service, tyres and consumables are premium-priced. Budget for premium-brand upkeep.

If you want a versatile, manageable premium ADV, the Multistrada V2 is a strong pick. Cross-shop the BMW F 900 GS, Triumph Tiger 900 and the Multistrada V4 for more power. Choose the V2 for its lighter weight and accessibility.
Ducati generally recommends servicing at set intervals, with valve checks at longer intervals per the owner's manual. Following the schedule protects the warranty and keeps the V-twin healthy.
With regular servicing and care, the Multistrada V2 can comfortably last well over a decade and 90,000 km or more. Its lifespan depends most on timely maintenance and access to Ducati genuine parts.
