Unveiling the 2024 Ducati Multistrada V4 RS: Where Superbike Power Meets Touring Versatility

Ducati has done it again, breaking boundaries and setting new standards in the world of motorcycles with the all-new 2024 Ducati Multistrada V4 RS. If you’re a motorcycling enthusiast, this bike is set to blow your mind.

The Heart of a Superbike

Under the sleek and elegant body of the Multistrada V4 RS lies the heart of a superbike – the Panigale V4-derived Desmosedici Stradale engine, complete with a dry clutch and dedicated electronic calibrations. This engine unleashes unique performance and riding sensations, making every ride memorable.

The Multistrada V4 RS is the only one in the family to adopt the 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale engine. It offers smooth and regular power delivery at low revs and an exhilarating experience near the limiter. The exhaust note through the Akrapovič silencer is deep at low levels and thrilling at high rpm.

According to Ducati, this engine (in this configuration) develops a maximum power of 180 hp, with limiter at 13,500 rpm.

Finally, in a nod to Ducati’s racing heritage, the 2024 Multistrada V4 RS features a STM-EVO SBK dry clutch made from billet aluminum. This not only smoothes out your ride but also enriches the exhaust sound with a characteristic metallic timbre.

The Perfect Balance

Ducati has maintained the perfect balance that has always distinguished the Multistrada family. The sportiest Multistrada boasts Öhlins suspension, a single-sided aluminum swingarm, and forged rims. This is a bike that’s ready to handle any road you throw at it.

The chassis of the Multistrada V4 RS is designed for precision and reactivity in sporty riding. Marchesini forged aluminum wheels make it more effective, and Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspensions self-adjust based on your riding style.

The V4 RS offers sportier ergonomics with higher and further back footrests for increased lean angles. The handlebar is lower, narrower, and rigidly fixed to the plate to enhance the riding feel, striking a perfect balance between sport and comfort.

Cutting-Edge Electronics

The Multistrada V4 RS comes with a sophisticated electronic package, including radar technology for Adaptive Cruise Control and Blind Spot Detection. With 4 Power Modes and various riding modes, you can customize your riding experience to suit your style and the road conditions.

Colors and Availability

This masterpiece will be available in dealerships starting from January 2024, featuring front and rear radar as standard in the stunning Iceberg White livery.

The 2024 Ducati Multistrada V4 RS is a motorcycling marvel, blending the soul of a superbike with the versatility of a tourer. It’s a symphony of power, style, and technology that will leave you in awe.
