In terms of dimensions, the Multistrada V4 is has a reduced wheelbase length of 1,567 mm, ground clearance of 220 mm, and a dry weight of 215 kg.

Compared to previous Multistrada models, the rider is now placed in an even more “dominant” position.

The central section of the bike is particularly narrow and allows an ideal riding position even when riding standing in off-road sections.

Ergonomics

New ergonomics also provide solid support when the rider puts his/her feet on the ground to better manoeuvre the bike when stationary.

For this reason, seat height now comes with two-position adjustability at 840 mm and 860 mm (810 mm low seat and 875 mm high seat are also available as accessories).

This added value is crucial especially in low-speed manoeuvres, even when fully loaded, also because the all-new Multistrada V4 can load over 230 kg.

Noise, vibration, harshness

Ducati engineers have also improved the level of Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH). The result is the incorporation of an aerodynamic Perspex screen which can be adjusted with a single finger.
