The 1103 cc 180 hp Desmosedici Stradale, with limiter at 13,500 rpm and latest-generation desmodromic timing, guarantees sports performance while preserving the balance that has always set the Multistrada model apart. The billet aluminum STM-EVO SBK dry clutch makes for a smoother ride when braking and shifting, while also ensuring that unmistakable Ducati sound to amplify every riding sensation.

The most exclusive components yet

The new Ducati Multistrada V4 RS combines the unmistakable Multistrada lines with the new RS livery. The various carbon fiber components, such as the front fender, hand guards, heat shields, and the front “beak,” combined with forged wheels, a lightweight lithium-ion battery, and a technopolymer tail (designed specifically for this model) mounted on the titanium subframe, contribute to a weight reduction of 4.4 lbs. (2 kg) compared to the Multistrada Pikes Peak.

Aluminum single-sided swingarm

Multistrada V4 RS stands out for its aluminum single-sided swingarm, designed with a dedicated rear measurement that allows for the mounting of 190 tires, with respect to the 170 of the Multistrada V4 S. A technical choice that further highlights the bike’s dynamic performance and sports attitude.

RS look for maximum sports attitude

The numbered plate, in black anodized aluminum and enhanced with the Italian flag, is applied to the steering plate for an added touch of prestige.

17” Marchesini aluminum forged wheels

New 17” Marchesini aluminum forged wheels, approximately 6 lbs. (2.7 kg) lighter with respect to the cast rims of the Multistrada V4 S, ensure the balance that has always set the Multistrada family apart, improving the bike’s dynamic efficiency. The Diablo Rosso IV Corsa tires - 120/70 at the front and 190/55 at the rear – ensure excellent grip in acceleration and mid-turn, for unique riding sensations and unprecedented lightness.

Upgraded braking system

The Multistrada V4 RS flaunts a braking system that derives directly from that of the Panigale V4, confirming its sports DNA. 330 mm discs and Brembo Stylema monobloc calipers at the front are combined with a single 280 mm disc and Brembo floating caliper at the rear. The system is managed by the Bosch-Brembo 10.3ME Cornering ABS to ensure ultimate safety and control even when turning.

Supersport electronics for extreme performance

The electronic package has been updated with the Ducati Vehicle Observer algorithm, derived from Ducati's experience in MotoGP and inherited from the Panigale V4, which simulates the presence of 70 sensors to achieve more precise and safer electronic controls. The Suspension Modes are managed separately from the Riding Modes, and the braking system adopts a “Front-to-rear” strategy. The electronic controls act even more precisely, increasing safety, efficiency, and riding enjoyment.

The most extreme Multistrada Crossover

Designed to offer the ultimate in sports performance even when travelling, Multistrada V4 RS is the very symbol of sports touring. A range of accessories are designed to underline the riding comfort, not least the top case, which can be mounted on an RS for the first time. The perfect blend of adrenaline and riding pleasure.
