The 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 brand new forged wheels and a technopolymer tail (designed specifically for this model) mounted on the titanium subframe, contribute to a weight reduction of 2 kg compared to the Multistrada Pikes Peak.

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

An exclusive RS livery for this numbered Multistrada series. The RS logo, a distinct element designed by the Centro Stile, features on the livery and dash graphics. The numbered plate, in black anodised aluminium and enhanced with the Italian flag, is applied to the steering plate for an added touch of prestige.

New 17” Marchesini aluminium forged wheels, 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 tyres - 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.

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 callipers at the front are combined with a single 280 mm disc and Brembo floating calliper at the rear. The system is managed by the Bosch-Brembo 10.3ME Cornering ABS, to ensure ultimate safety and control even when turning.

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.

A range of accessories are designed to underline the riding comfort, not least the top case, which can be mounted on a RS for the first time. The perfect blend of adrenaline and riding pleasure.

With a dedicated button, the rider can select the desired Suspension Mode independently from the Riding Mode. In this way, the suspension response can be easily modified even on the move.

The Akrapovič titanium exhaust combines performance and lightness in a single solution. Conforming with the EU 5+ standard, its sound emissions are limited to allow access to areas with noise restrictions. The carbon fibre elements don’t just reduce weight but add a touch of sportiness and style.
