Ducati Multistrada V4 RS, launch details

The Multistrada V4 RS uses a 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale engine, also found on the Panigale V4. This motor produces 180hp at 12,250rpm and 118Nm at 9,500rpm, making it one of the most powerful ADV-style sport tourers currently on sale. The Multistrada V4 RS uses high-quality materials such as carbon fibre parts, a titanium subframe, and Marchesini forged wheels to keep the overall weight down, which tips the scale at 225kg excluding fuel.

Ducati has also given the V4 RS a unique livery designed by Centro Stile. Beneath the surface, an aluminium monocoque chassis is paired with electronically adjustable Ohlins suspension, while braking is handled by Brembo Stylema calipers on twin 330mm discs at the front and a 265mm disc with a Brembo two-piston caliper at the rear. Deliveries for the Multistrada V4 RS will begin early next month.
