Ducati presented at Intermot , the Cologne motorcycle trade show , the new Multistrada V2 , the mid-size crossover designed for lovers of the twin-cylinder engine , which with the 2025 model significantly improves in terms of lightness , handling and ease of riding . The new Multistrada V2 maintains the 19-inch front wheel to remain safe and fun even on the roughest asphalt but has been completely redesigned around the new twin-cylinder V2 engine , becoming even more accessible and at the same time fun to ride .
Thanks to a project inspired by the search for maximum lightness and focused on the monocoque frame and the new Ducati V2 engine , the new Multistrada V2 weighs a full 18 kg less than the previous model . Its 199 kilogram in running order without fuel represent the lowest value in the category , benefitting handling and manoeuvres from a standstill and at low speed , even when fully loaded . Its lightness , combined with the wide and fullbodied delivery of the variable-valve twin-cylinder , a benchmark electronics package and a careful ergonomic and aerodynamic development , means that the riding pleasure , fuel consumption , performance and handling of the new Multistrada V2 transform every trip into an unforgettable journey .
Design
The design of the new V2 draws inspiration from the stylistic concepts that have made the history of the Multistrada family : horizontally balanced volumes , with a light and short tail , and a front area characterised by sporty lines , emphasised by the side panels that load the front end . The shoulder surfaces , the front masses and the ‘ beak ’ – historically distinctive characteristics of the Multistrada – have been made more harmonious .
Like all Ducatis , the Multistrada V2 also combines design and functionality . The Centro Stile Ducati defined its lines in close collaboration with R & D technicians , to integrate aerodynamic solutions into the design studied to improve thermal comfort and protection from the elements .
The windshield , highly protective and adjustable in height , was defined through careful aerodynamic research that also involved the deflectors , perfectly integrated into the front line .
For thermal comfort , as on the Multistrada V4 , upwash lateral air conveyors have been introduced , integrated into the design of the bike that help direct fresh air to the rider ’ s legs .
The new headlights and DRL inspired by the latestgeneration Panigale and Multistrada V4 help to define a compact and aggressive front view , immediately recognizable . The shorter “ beak ” is well integrated into the windshield and creates a more harmonious image . The direction indicators , thin and harmonized in the design of the side panels , have been completely redesigned and repositioned to offer optimal visibility and create a gap between them and the fairing that allows the passage of fresh air towards the rider .
The tail is very slim and light , thanks to a shorter rear grab handle , completely redesigned to guarantee functionality and ergonomics .
Ergonomics and comfort
The ergonomics of the Multistrada V2 have been completely revised with great attention paid to comfort . The rider and passenger seats have been redesigned , and passenger roominess has been improved compared to the previous model in terms of legroom and torso space , thanks to rearward top box and side case attachments . To allow the rider to rest their feet on the ground safely , the new Multistrada V2 has been equipped with a seat that can be adjusted to two positions , with heights of 850 and 830 mm . Furthermore , the Ducati Performance catalogue offers as an accessory a seat raised to 870 mm , and one lowered to 810 . On the S version , thanks to the semi-active DSS ( Ducati Skyhook Suspension ) and the Minimum Preload system , it is possible to lower the seat to 790 mm .
