lift-up detection are inhibited to adapt to offroad use .
The Multistrada V4 is equipped with the extended deactivation strategy of the rear bank . In addition to switching off the rear cylinders when the bike is stationary and the engine is idling , the V4 Granturismo keeps the rear bank deactivated in other operating conditions , to the benefit of fuel consumption and emissions , which are reduced by 6 % compared to the previous model .*
With this strategy , deactivation also occurs when the bike is moving . As the speed increases or above a certain torque request from the throttle grip , the rear cylinders are reactivated , guaranteeing the character and performance of the V4 Granturismo . The system is active in all Riding Modes .
The 1,158 cc V4 Granturismo engine is now Euro 5 + homologated , keeping its performance unchanged . In the version mounted on the 2025 Multistrada V4 , it delivers 170 hp ( 125 kW ) at 10,750 rpm and 123.8 Nm at 9,000 rpm , with a particularly linear torque curve to ensure a smooth and progressive response at all speeds . The performance of this engine , combined with its total weight of just 66.7 kg , allows the V4 Granturismo to confirm itself as the category benchmark for power and lightness . These numbers are combined with refined technical solutions , such as a counter-rotating crankshaft , derived from the experience gained by Ducati Corse in MotoGP , which works " against " the gyroscopic inertia of the wheels , but also the torque curves dedicated to each individual ratio to combine smooth delivery at low speeds , robust torque at medium speeds and power at high speeds .
Regarding the chassis , the Multistrada V4 confirms the lightweight and compact aluminium monocoque frame , with a doublesided swingarm in shell-cast aluminium mounted on a pivot repositioned 1 millimetre higher , increasing the anti-squat effect of the suspension to make riding more precise and effective even when fully loaded .
In addition , on the Multistrada V4 S 2025 , the monoshock is able to manage a greater preload range , which goes from 12 to 20 mm . In this way , the standard calibration in the various load modes is more balanced , and increases the effect of the Automatic Lowering Device function in situations of greater load , when traveling with luggage and a passenger .
The new Multistrada V4 2025 is now also offered in new Sport Travel & Radar and Adventure Travel & Radar trims , which are added to the already known Radar and Travel & Radar . The new trims include a centre stand , heated grips and seats , and of course front and rear radar . The Sport trim adds panniers and forged rims , which thanks to a weight reduction of 2 kg make the Multistrada V4 nimbler and sportier , while the Adventure is characterized by aluminium panniers and spoked wheels .
The Ducati Multistrada V4 Model Year 2025 is available in dealerships starting from October 2024 in the three colours Ducati Red , Thrilling Black and Arctic White .
