on't be fooled. The model-year
2025 Ducati Multistrada V4 S
might look like the current model,
but beneath that distinctive and largely
unchanged silhouette lies a host of de
-
velopments that make the Bologna fac-
tory's best-selling adventure-tourer even
more efficient and rewarding to ride.
Predictably enough, a raft of electronic
updates sits center stage, all of them
aimed at boosting the versatility of the
Multistrada. Ducati Vehicle Observer
(DVO), the predictive electronic con
-
trol system developed by Ducati Corse
MotoGP team, and which debuted on the
2024 V4 Panigale, finds its way onboard
along with the Automatic Lowering De
-
vice, which lowers the ride height as the
road speed drops to allow better control
and more confident stops.
Ducati's electronic boffins have also
added a new Wet riding mode, which
sits alongside the Touring, Urban, Sport
modes as well as an updated Enduro
option. There is Engine Brake Control and
uprated linked brakes, with the rear lever
now also operating the front brake (in ad
-
dition to the front lever operating the rear).
