DUCATI RAISES THE BAR
The Multistrada V4 RS Redefines Sport-Touring
accommodating a touring top case.
Visually, the Multistrada V4 RS wears its performance credentials with pride. Carbon fibre handguards, heat shields, mudguards, and front beak complement forged wheels, a lightweight lithium-ion battery, and a technopolymer tail fairing. Together, these touches reduce weight by 2 kg compared to the Multistrada Pikes Peak. The RS livery adds exclusivity, matched by numbered production plates that mark each model as part of a limited series.
Every detail has been sharpened to underline the RS’ s mission: to be the sportiest Multistrada ever built, without compromising the comfort and long-range ability that define the family.
The Multistrada V4 RS shares the stage with the Diavel V4 RS, a dragstrip-inspired powerhouse that boasts a blistering 0 – 100 km / h time of just 2.52 seconds in the hands of Marc Márquez. Both models underline Ducati’ s intent with the RS designation: to create machines that embody the ultimate expression of style, lightness, and performance within their categories.
But it’ s the Multistrada that signals the most intriguing evolution. What began two decades ago as Ducati’ s answer to do-it-all motorcycling has now reached a point where long-distance comfort, cutting-edge electronics, and racetrack DNA live in perfect tension.
Deliveries of the Multistrada V4 RS will begin in Europe in November 2025, followed shortly after by the United States and other global markets. As with all Multistrada models, Ducati includes its 4Ever Multistrada warranty, offering four years of unlimited mileage coverage across its European dealer network.
For riders who want a motorcycle that devours distance but thrills like a superbike, the Multistrada V4 RS is more than just the latest chapter in the Ducati story— it’ s the new benchmark for what a sport-touring machine can be.
