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. CN WIND IN THE P32 Ducati's new Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour retails for $28,395.
