Ducati has once again set the bar higher for adventure touring with the unveiling of its 2025 Multistrada V4, V4S, and V4 Pikes Peak models. Combining advanced technology, comfort, and sportiness, these machines offer enhanced performance, fuel efficiency, and riding experience. Whether you’re cruising on highways or carving through twisty mountain roads, Ducati’s latest models cater to every adventure enthusiast’s desires.
Multistrada V4 & V4S: A Leap in Touring Excellence
The 2025 Multistrada V4 is engineered for those who crave the thrill of exploration. Ducati’s new extended deactivation system cuts fuel consumption by up to 6%, making this bike an eco-friendlier choice for long-distance travelers. This fuel-saving mechanism operates even while the bike is moving, deactivating the rear cylinders during low-demand situations.
Beyond its improved fuel efficiency, the Multistrada V4 features new design elements that emphasize a sportier aesthetic, borrowing cues from Ducati’s Panigale V4. The sharper exhaust and redesigned front end give the bike a more aggressive stance. But it’s not just about looks—the Multistrada V4 S also features Ducati’s Automatic Lowering Device, enhancing low-speed maneuverability by adjusting the ride height automatically.
The Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO) adds a layer of intelligence by predicting and reacting to riding conditions. With features like Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), and the newly introduced Forward Collision Warning (FCW), the bike aims to offer riders a safer, more relaxed experience on long journeys.
The Multistrada V4S excels in comfort, both for the rider and passenger. The semi-active Skyhook EVO suspension system ensures a smooth ride on rough terrains while self-levelling capabilities adapt the suspension based on the load configuration. The updated 6.5-inch TFT display integrates navigation, calls, and music seamlessly, ensuring that riders stay connected even on the go.
The V4 Pikes Peak: Improved Sportiness
For the thrill-seekers who enjoy pushing the limits on the racetrack or winding mountain roads, Ducati introduces the 2025 V4 Pikes Peak. Sporting a single-sided swingarm, 17-inch wheels, and a MotoGP-inspired livery, this model celebrates Ducati’s racing pedigree.
The Pikes Peak version builds on the advancements of the V4 and V4S models but takes performance to a new level with Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension, optimized for sporty handling. A special Akrapovič titanium silencer, along with carbon fiber components, further saves weight and emphasizes a race-ready persona.
Enduro and Wet Riding Modes
Ducati has also enhanced the Multistrada V4’s versatility with an improved Enduro mode and the addition of a Wet mode. These settings allow the bike to adapt to off-road conditions or wet, slippery surfaces, ensuring that no matter the terrain, the Multistrada remains in control. The Enduro mode caps power at 114 hp, turning off certain safety features like ABS on the rear wheel to give riders the raw feel needed for rugged terrains.
Technological Triumphs
Incorporating advanced electronic systems, the 2025 Multistrada lineup is a showcase of Ducati’s commitment to rider safety and performance. The new Forward Collision Warning system helps prevent accidents by alerting the rider to potential dangers, while the Ducati Brake Light system activates both the brake light and indicators during emergency braking.
Ducati’s Vehicle Observer system takes rider support to the next level by estimating ground forces and loads in real-time. This system enhances ABS Cornering, Wheelie Control, and Traction Control for a safer and smoother ride.
Comfort for Every Journey
The Multistrada V4 models aren’t just about performance—they’re also designed for long-distance comfort. The bike offers adjustable seat heights and repositioned panniers to ensure ample legroom for the passenger. Heated grips and seats, along with a variety of available accessories, make the Multistrada an ideal choice for extended trips.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re planning a cross-country adventure or tackling your favorite twisties, the 2025 Ducati Multistrada lineup delivers a perfect balance of performance, comfort, and cutting-edge technology. With its combination of touring capabilities and sporty prowess, the V4, V4S, and Pikes Peak models are set to redefine the adventure bike category.
