2025 Ducati Multistrada V4S

The 2025 V4 S is the updated generation of Ducati's flagship adventure-tourer, and the changes over the earlier bike are substantive. The Skyhook Suspension EVO system added Bump Detection, which uses a stroke sensor in the fork to preset the rear shock, and the Automatic Lowering Device, which drops the bike up to 1.2 inches as you slow to a stop and restores ride height as you accelerate. Suspension modes became selectable independently of riding modes. The rear disc grew to 280mm, and Cornering ABS gained a rear-to-front combined braking strategy.
The 1158 cc V4 Granturismo's extended rear-bank deactivation now works at low speed as well as at idle. Output is 170 hp at 10,750 rpm and 91 lb-ft of torque at 9000 rpm, and the valve check remains at 37,000 miles. Ducati Vehicle Observer feeds the traction and wheelie control, and a Wet riding mode joins Sport, Touring, Urban, and Enduro.
U.S. bikes ship in Travel & Radar trim, meaning Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Detection, Forward Collision Warning, and rigid side panniers, along with the 6.5-inch TFT dash with Ducati Connect, Brembo Stylema calipers, quick-shifter, cruise control, and hands-free ignition. Curb weight without fuel is 511 lbs.
At barely over 1000 miles, this is effectively a new bike without the new-bike price!
