MULTISTRADA
V4 S
(price as tested $29,530.20)
The Ducati Multistrada won
Rennie's Bike of The Year
in 2021. It's a truly excellent
machine, and rated by Ducati
themselves as the finest they
have ever created.
Fitted with the raucous
1158cc Desmosedici Stradale
V4 that first saw light in the Pani-
gale a few years ago, you've got
a whopping 170 claimed horse-
power on tap and 92 lb-ft of
torque, putting it straight to the
top of the performance chart in
a package that weighs a mea-
sured 577 pounds without the
luggage that comes fitted as
standard (the only one of the
four to do so). With the luggage,
you're looking at 600 pounds
on the dot with a topped 5.8
gallons of gas. Seat height is a
claimed 33.1 inches, with a high
seat option of 33.9 inches.
The good thing with the Multi
V4 S is you get pretty much all
the bells and whistles as stan-
dard fitment. That means four
Riding Modes, Power Modes,
Cornering ABS, Ducati Trac-
tion Control, Ducati Wheelie
Control, Daytime Running Light,
Ducati Cornering Light, Ducati
Quick Shift, Ducati Brake Light,
