Multistrada V4 Photos

The Ducati Multistrada V4's design takes clear cues from the Panigale superbike family - sharper and more angular than its predecessors, with a twin-element LED headlight cluster featuring Ducati Cornering Lights (DCL) that is immediately recognisable day or night.

From the front, the wide fairing and electrically adjustable screen (V4 S and above) give the bike a purposeful, touring-capable stance without looking bulky. The handlebars are wide-set at a comfortable height for an upright, ergonomic riding position - less aggressive than a sportsbike, but far from the upright neutrality of a standard-geometry ADV.

In profile, the 22-litre fuel tank is clearly a structural element of the chassis - large and purposefully shaped, with clean side panels that accept Ducati's optional aluminium pannier system without the bike looking like a loaded mule. The Rally variant shows an even taller, more planted side profile due to the 21-inch front wheel and increased suspension travel.

At the rear, the high-mounted exhaust and compact LED tail light assembly keep visual weight low. The exposed aluminium swingarm is a design highlight - engineering made visible.

The 6.5-inch TFT instrument cluster is one of the most capable in the segment. Full-colour, bright in direct Indian sunlight, with a navigation map that fills the screen. The user interface is controlled via a left-handlebar switchgear that takes one ride to master.
