TWENTY YEARS OF
Multistrada ( Multi-strada , meaning ' Multi-road '): never could a name have been more apt for a motorcycle destined to leave its mark like few others in Ducati ' s history . A dynasty that turns twenty in 2023 ; twenty years of innovative technology , performance , emotions , and adventures to tell .
The Multistrada was born in 2003 with the aim of offering a Ducati both versatile and sporty , capable of tackling any terrain with maximum safety and solidity . The first version of the bike was the Multistrada 1000 DS , the starting point of a family that has continued to evolve through four generations , the most recent based on the V2 and V4 Granturismo engines .
Over its twenty-year life , the Multistrada has brought with it a rich history of innovations and technological evolutions that have redefined the standards of the motorcycle industry , confirming itself , generation after generation , as the ideal companion for all enthusiasts who love to discover the beauties of the world and experience every journey in relation with the surrounding landscape and with the road , alone or in pairs .
Among the most important innovations introduced for the first time thanks to the Multistrada that must certainly be mentioned are the Riding Modes of the 2010 model , a solution now widespread on most high and medium range motorcycles . The Multistrada V4 , the technological benchmark of the Bologna-based manufacturer introduced on the market in 2020 , was at the time the first motorcycle in the world equipped with front and rear radar . A solution that has made it possible to introduce the Adaptive Cruise Control ( ACC ) and Blind Spot Detection ( BSD ) systems , which improve riding comfort and safety . Also on the same model , Ducati introduced the Phone Mirroring solution , which transformed the dashboard into a colour map navigator while keeping visible the information necessary for riding the bike .
