Why the V4 S hits the sweet spot
- Long‑haul comfort and range: A 22 L tank, excellent wind protection, and plush semi‑active suspension make consecutive 500+ km days easy.
- Tech that works: Radar‑assisted ACC and BSD (when equipped) reduce fatigue; the 6.5” TFT with Ducati Connect simplifies route guidance and media.
- Versatility first: The 19/17 wheel setup and DSS EVO tuning deliver road confidence and light off‑road capability; optional spoked wheels add durability.
V4 S vs. base Multistrada V4
The S builds on the base bike with semi‑active Skyhook suspension, the larger 6.5” TFT, cornering lights, and access to radar packages—making it the sweet spot for riders who want top-tier comfort and tech without jumping to a special edition.
