The future of riding is here

At the cutting edge of safety.
Now and always.

The Multistrada has always steered technological innovation towards performance and safety. The S Radar version, already including front and rear radar and an already state-of-the-art technological package, adds further tools and features designed to provide unparalleled control and riding pleasure. 

Connected intelligence.
Front and rear radar system with new Forward Collision Warning

The Multistrada V4 was the world’s first bike to integrate both front and rear radar, activating advanced rider assistance systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning and Blind Spot Detection. Adaptive Cruise Control automatically maintains a safe distance from the vehicle in front, while Forward Collision Warning warns the rider in case of a sudden approach. Blind Spot Detection helps to identity vehicles coming from behind, further improving safety.

*S Version Radar

6.5-inch dashboard with integrated map navigator

The Multistrada V4 S comes complete with a 6.5” TFT dashboard designed to offer excellent readability in all conditions thanks to optical bonding technology. The graphics are complete and provide the rider with all the necessary information.

The system features integrated navigation with the Sygic GPS app, implemented thanks to a phone’s mirroring function, which also allows the rider to manage calls, view their contact list, or listen to music via the Ducati Multimedia System (DMS).

The standard version is equipped with a 5-inch TFT.

Ducati Connect

The system maintains its map navigation functions by way of the Ducati Connect app, which also supports use of a phone to manage calls and listen to music, all via an intercom-equipped helmet.

Joystick control

Management is via a joystick positioned on the left block, for quick and simple menu navigation. There are dedicated buttons with which to switch Riding Mode and adjust the suspension, while Adaptive Cruise Control is managed using the classic button and + and – keys, which serve to increase or reduce the distance a rider wants to maintain from the vehicle ahead while travelling. 

Electronic riding aid systems

Many of the electronic systems that are now standard on motorbikes in the various segments were pioneered by Ducati, which over the years has earned a place among the most advanced companies in the sector. Safety, comfort and performance improved year after year thanks to the continuous improvement and search for innovation.

    Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Forward Collision Warning
    Adaptive cruise control, also known by the acronym ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control), is an electronic control system that adjusts the speed of the vehicle while automatically maintaining a safe distance (selectable on four levels) from the vehicles in front. This makes it possible to ride at a constant speed on a motorway, for example, without twisting the throttle. The new Forward Collision Warning system warns the rider in case of a sudden approach.

    Automatic Lowering Device
    System that automatically adjusts the preload of the monoshock to change the height of the bike. At low speeds (ed. below 10 km/h) the preload is instantly raised to the minimum to make it easier for the rider to touch the ground. When speed increases (ed. above 50 km/h) the preload is returned to the preset value, returning the bike to the optimum set-up for the riding dynamics. The function can be disabled by the user.

Comfortable in any conditions.

To harness the full potential of Multistrada V4 in any context, Ducati has developed five Riding Modes, which, on the Multistrada V4 MY2025, include an evolved Enduro mode and a brand-new Wet mode, designed for wet or low-grip surfaces. Each mode is designed to offer an impeccable, intuitive riding experience, customised to suit all terrains and conditions.

Sport Riding Mode

The best for road-going performance. In this mode, the new Multistrada V4 MY2025 delivers the full 170 hp with a direct, spirited response, managed with a sports suspension set-up in 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 in order 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 V4 unleashes its full 170 hp but delivery is smoother and more progressive. Higher DTC and DWC intervention levels make for better vehicle control. The ABS is set to level 3, the safest and most prudential thanks to rear-wheel lift detection, Cornering ABS functionality, and an optimised front/rear combined braking effect. The suspension set-up is designed, in the S version, for long journeys and offers maximum comfort to rider and passenger.

Urban Riding Mode

In Urban Riding Mode power output is reduced to a maximum of 114 hp with a particularly gentle and progressive response (Low Engine Mode), while the suspension calibration,in the S version, adapts to the roughness of city bottoms such as bumps, potholes and manholes, handling the constant surface changes better. 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 V4 MY2025 to make the most of its off-road potential. This Riding Mode limits engine power to 114 hp with a dedicated Engine Mode (Offroad), for a more dynamic and direct response with respect to Urban Mode, despite equal power. This mode also sets, in the S version, the DSS Evolution specifically for off-road driving. DTC and DWC intervention is low, while the ABS is set at level 1, suitable for off-road use on low grip terrain. In this case, rear-wheel lift detection, Cornering ABS functionality, and rear wheel intervention are all disabled. 

Wet Riding Mode

The new Riding Mode Wet is designed for riding on low-grip surfaces, specifically in the wet. This mode limits maximum power to 114 hp with an especially smooth throttle response (Power Mode: Low). The default level of electronic controls is set to provide maximum stability and best grip.

Dynamic intelligence.

Whether it is solo or two-up long-range touring, off-roading, sports riding, or an everyday urban commute, the electronics on the new Multistrada V4 MY2025 ensure the ideal bike to suit any conditions or usage.

New Automatic Lowering Device

The Automatic Lowering Device automatically and quickly lowers the vehicle when going below 10 km/h, and then returns to riding trim once 50 km/h has been passed, providing greater safety whenever it is necessary to put the foot down. The system allows seat lowering from 15 to 30 mm, depending on load (seat height: 810mm-825mm standard seat; 780mm-795mm lowered seat; 765mm-780mm lowered seat + suspension lowering kit). 

Available in S version. 

Easy stationary manoeuvres with Easy Lift functionality

This feature acts on the suspension hydraulics by fully opening the semi-active unit valves for approximately three minutes when the ignition is switched on. This softens the suspension, making it easier to lift the bike off the stand.

Available in S version.

Skyhook suspension with Bump Detection

The exclusive Ducati Skyhook semi-active suspension system and its numerous configuration combinations allow 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 bike behaviour in a matter of seconds and identify the ideal configuration for every type of use. Added to this is the new Bump Detection system, which automatically identifies any uneven terrain and transmits this information to the rear to instantly adjust suspension behaviour.

Available in S version.

Electronic Combined Braking System

The Multistrada V4 S's Electronic Combined Braking System (eCBS) greatly improves stability and safety. With its dual operational logic, front-to-rear and rear-to-front, the system optimizes combined front and rear braking. Front-to-rear logic activates the rear brake when the front brake is applied, improving stability and effectiveness in high decelerations. Rear-to-front logic, on the other hand, supports deceleration and promotes greater cornering stability. This contributes to a more relaxed ride and more effective braking management. The rider can choose to take advantage of front-to-rear braking only by selecting abs 2 or take advantage of both front-to-rear and rear-to-front braking by choosing abs 3.
