V4 Gran Turismo Engine
The engine, which is light and compact at 66.7 kg, is very smooth while delivering overwhelming power and is characterized by smooth operation at low rpm, strong torque at mid rpm, and an exciting character at high rpm.
The 1,158cc engine has a maximum output of 170ps (125kW) @ 10,500rpm and a maximum torque of 125Nm (12.7kgm) @ 8,750rpm. this engine allows for a much longer maintenance interval. On the Multistrada V4, oil changes are scheduled every 15,000 km, and valve clearance checks and adjustments are scheduled every 60,000 km. No other engine on the market today has such a long maintenance interval.
State-of-the-art electronics
The inertial platform (IMU) manages the operation of the cornering ABS, Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) and Ducati Traction Control (DTC) (cornering version). In addition to Cornering Light (DCL), the Multistrada V4 S also comes with Vehicle Hold Control (VHC) as standard, which makes hill starts easier, especially when fully loaded. Furthermore, the Multistrada V4 S's inertial platform is also linked to the semi-active Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DSS) control system with auto-leveling.
It is the world's first motorcycle to feature an innovative forward and rearward radar system with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Blind Spot Detection (BSD). The radar is an advanced assistance system, developed in close cooperation with leading technology partners such as Bosch, that allows riders to ride more safely and comfortably by constantly monitoring traffic conditions around the motorcycle.
