The new Multistrada V2 is equipped with a dedicated gear ratio: a short first gear for greater agility at low speeds and a long sixth gear to reduce consumption and heighten comfort when travelling on the motorway. 

The new Ducati Quick Shift 2.0 uses a sensor positioned directly on the gear drum, for an immediate connection between pedal and transmission. The result is more precise feeling and rapid shifting, for a better overall riding experience.

Sport Riding Mode

The best for road-going performance. In this mode, the new Multistrada V2 delivers the full 115 hp with a direct, spirited response, managed with a Skyhook sports suspension set-up on the S version. Ducati Traction Control and Ducati Wheelie Control invention are reduced to a minimum and the ABS, set to level 2, allows for controlled lifting of the rear wheel to maximize braking performance, while retaining the Cornering function. The ideal choice for expert riders who want to fully exploit the motorcycle’s potential.

Touring Riding Mode

In Touring Riding Mode, the Ducati Multistrada V2 unleashes its full 115 hp but delivery is smoother and more progressive. Higher DTC and DWC intervention levels satisfy the needs of touring use. The ABS is set to level 3, the safest and most prudential thanks to rear-wheel lift detection. On the S version, the suspension setting is specifically calibrated for long-range travel, ensuring maximum rider and passenger comfort. 

Urban Riding Mode

In Urban Riding Mode power output is reduced to a maximum of 95 hp with a particularly gentle and progressive response (Low Engine Mode), while in the S version, the suspension setting adapts to urban obstacles such as speed bumps, potholes and manhole covers, effectively managing the continuous changes in surface. DTC and DWC are set to high levels, while ABS is set to level 3.

Enduro Riding Mode

The Enduro Riding Mode allows the new Multistrada V2 to make the most of its off-road potential. This Riding Mode limits engine power to 95 hp with a dedicated Engine Mode (Offroad), for a more dynamic and direct response with respect to Urban Mode, despite equal power. On the S version, this mode also sets up the electronics suspension for dedicated off-road use. The DTC and DWC systems are set to the specific off-road level, while the ABS is set at level 1, suitable for off-road use on low grip terrain. In this case, Cornering ABS functionality, and rear wheel intervention are all disabled. 

New Wet Riding Mode

The new Wet Riding Mode is designed for riding in the wet. This mode limits maximum power to 95 hp with a particularly gentle throttle response (Low Power Mode). The predefined level of the electronic controls is set to offer maximum safety in wet conditions.

With its numerous configuration combinations, the exclusive Ducati Skyhook semi-active suspension system on the S version allows the riding experience to be customised based on a specific route and riding style. The advantage of electronic suspension lies in the possibility to change the bike’s behaviour in a matter of seconds and identify the ideal configuration for every type of use. 

Thanks to the Minimum Preload function, the rider can choose to “lower” the bike in stops and low-speed riding, thanks to a dedicated button, bringing the preload of the shock absorber down to a minimum to make it easier for the feet to contact the ground. 

The handlebar controls on the new Multistrada V2 are designed to ensure easy, intuitive access to all the bike’s main functions. Ergonomically positioned, these allow for management of the Riding Modes, Suspension Modes, Cruise Control and Turn-by-Turn navigation with a simple action, heightening both comfort and safety. The optimized design and clear tactile feedback allow for rapid and precise control, even when riding with gloves, without distracting the rider from the road.

Integrated into the instrument panel, the USB port allows you to charge electronic devices such as a smartphone or GPS system while travelling. A simple but useful tool, which adds practicality during long-range trips and busy days. 

The Coming Home function ensures the front lights stay on for 30 seconds once the bike is switched off, serving as a courtesy light. This function is especially useful when parking in poorly lit areas, facilitating dismount and ensuring visibility in the surrounding area, improving safety also once you reach your destination.

Available via the Ducati Multimedia System (as standard on the S version), the Turn-by-Turn navigation system (accessory) guides you to your destination, step by step, directly on the bike’s display. Thanks to clear and precise indications, you can focus on the road without worrying about distractions or getting lost. 

The Multistrada V2 S is available with the Travel trim, which includes plastic side cases, centre stand and heated handgrips.

The Urban package is ideal for those who ride mainly in the city. It includes a practical tank bag and Tanklock flange for the safe storage of items, as well as a plastic top case for the handy transportation of personal effects. This package is functional and practical, not to mention stylish.

The Touring package is designed for travellers who like to cover long distances in total comfort. It includes the plastic side cases to ensure ample storage space, a centre stand for safe and secure parking, and heated handgrips, ideal on the coldest days.

  Dedicated to adventurers and off-road lovers, it includes an aluminium radiator guard and engine protection plate, for peace of mind on challenging surfaces. There is also a bullbar for extra protection and additional LED lights that improve visibility in conditions of poor lighting, for safety and performance in even the most extreme conditions.
