Ducati Announces Multistrada
V4 S Grand Tour
D
ucati's Multistrada V4 line,
which is made up of the V4 S,
V4 Pikes Peak and V4 Rally, has
seen the circle completed with
the arrival of the V4 S Grand Tour.
Aimed squarely at long-dis
-
tance road riders, the V4 S Grand
Tour uses everything that comes
standard on the V4 S—including
the radar-adaptive cruise control
and blind spot detection soft-
ware—but packages it for the
country's mile eaters.
It has the same 170 hp/92
lb-ft, 1158cc V4 motor as the
others, as well as the same elec
-
tronic Ducati Skyhook Suspen-
sion, and all the usual things like
Cornering ABS and lights, Ducati
Traction Control, Vehicle Hold
Control, Ducati Wheelie Control,
all monitored by the bike's Iner-
tial Measurement Unit.
There's 15.85 gallons of
storage capacity thanks to new
integrated side cases, a center
stand, keyless ride, a rigid-
mounted handlebar, heat shields
on the swingarm and, on the left
side of the rear subframe, and
closable ducts in the leg area.
The smartphone charging com
-
partment is also now ventilated.
There is also the Minimum
Preload function, which allows
the rider to lower the motorcycle
when stopping and when travel-
ing at low speed by reducing
shock preload to a minimum. The
Easy Lift function, on the other
hand, reduces the effort required
to lift the motorbike from the side
stand by opening the suspension
hydraulics when the key is on.
The new Multistrada V4 S
Grand Tour is available in for
pre-ordering in dealerships in
the Ducati network with client
deliveries starting from February
2024. U.S. pricing will begin at
an MSRP of $28,395.
