The Ducati Multistrada V4 is the brand’s flagship do-it-all adventure tourer, one of the fastest, most comfortable and technologically advanced ADVs on sale. It blends sportbike performance with genuine touring comfort and light off-road ability. A tall stance, adjustable screen and purposeful design give it commanding presence. For riders who want a premium big-capacity ADV that can circumnavigate the globe, it is a top choice.
Power comes from a 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine producing around 168 to 170hp and 123Nm, with a rear-cylinder deactivation feature at standstill to reduce heat. It delivers effortless, refined power for relaxed cruising and rapid overtaking, with a wonderful exhaust note. The long-service V4 is tuned for touring durability. It is remarkably agile and comfortable for such a capable machine. The result is an adventure tourer that feels as happy carving mountain passes as it does eating up motorway miles two-up with luggage.
This bike suits experienced riders who want a premium, versatile adventure tourer for long-distance travel, sport riding and light trails. It is ideal for those who value comfort, technology and effortless performance across varied conditions. Riders planning big tours will appreciate its range and refinement. It is less suited to beginners or those on a modest budget, given its size and price.
Braking uses strong Brembo discs with cornering ABS, complemented by radar-assisted aids like adaptive cruise control and blind-spot detection. Semi-active Ducati Skyhook Suspension adapts to road and riding style, while five ride modes tailor the character. The advanced electronics keep the big ADV composed on any surface. For a flagship tourer, the safety suite is state of the art.
The Multistrada V4 is loaded with a large TFT display, multiple ride modes, semi-active suspension, radar aids and full-LED lighting. Rider comfort features like heated grips and an adjustable screen enhance long-distance ability. Its blend of touring and sport tech is class-leading. For riders wanting cutting-edge ADV features, the equipment is comprehensive.
As an imported flagship, the Multistrada V4 needs an experienced Ducati service centre, so confirm dealer support before buying. Service, tyres and consumables are premium-priced, though the V4 Granturismo’s long service intervals help. The advanced electronics benefit from expert care. Buyers should budget for the upkeep of a top-tier large-capacity ADV.
With an ARAI figure near 15kmpl and a large tank, the Multistrada V4 offers a usable touring range, though a big V4 is naturally thirstier than a twin. Premium adventure tyres, chain care and periodic service form the main running costs. The rear-cylinder deactivation aids efficiency and cooling. For a flagship ADV, the usage cost fits its premium role.
The Multistrada V4 is offered in Standard and S variants, priced from about Rs. 27.45 lakh to Rs. 36.90 lakh (ex-showroom), with the Rally and RS versions sitting above. On-road prices climb higher in metros. It rivals the BMW R 1300 GS and KTM 1390 Super Adventure. Use our EMI calculator and city-wise price tools for the exact on-road cost.
Yes. The Multistrada V4 is engineered for durable, long-distance touring with a long-service V4, so it holds up well when serviced on schedule. As a flagship imported ADV, long-term ownership depends on access to an experienced Ducati service centre.
It is superb for long-distance touring and capable across terrain, and it can commute, but its size and weight make dense city traffic harder work. It suits riders who mainly tour and explore rather than those doing only short city trips.
It is a premium flagship, so service, tyres and consumables are expensive, and the big V4 uses more fuel than a twin, though long service intervals help. Budgeting for premium upkeep is important before buying.
If you want a fast, versatile premium ADV, the Multistrada V4 is a top pick. Cross-shop the BMW R 1300 GS, KTM 1390 Super Adventure and Triumph Tiger 1200 for character. Choose the Multistrada for its V4 performance and technology.
Ducati generally recommends servicing at set intervals, with the V4 Granturismo offering longer service and valve-check intervals per the owner's manual. Following the schedule protects the warranty and keeps the engine healthy.
With disciplined servicing and care, the Multistrada V4 can comfortably last well over a decade and 1,00,000 km or more. Longevity depends most on timely maintenance and access to Ducati genuine parts.
