Ducati Multistrada V4 S (2024): The high-tech benchmark in adventure touring

The 2024 Ducati Multistrada V4 S blends superbike-derived power with long-distance comfort and class-leading electronics. Anchored by Ducati’s 1158 cc V4 Granturismo and packed with semi‑active Skyhook suspension plus available radar for Adaptive Cruise Control and Blind Spot Detection, it’s the do‑everything flagship many riders use as their single bike for road, touring, and light off‑piste.

Key specs (2024)

  • Engine: 1158 cc V4 Granturismo (90° V4), counter‑rotating crank, cylinder deactivation
  • Power: 170 hp (125 kW) at 10,500 rpm
  • Torque: 125 Nm at 8,750 rpm
  • Transmission: 6‑speed with Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) up/down; slipper/assist clutch
  • Curb weight (claimed): ~243 kg
  • Seat height: 840–860 mm (two‑position, adjustable; lower options available)
  • Fuel tank: 22 L
  • Wheels/tires: 19 in front, 17 in rear (cast or optional spoked); 120/70 R19 and 170/60 R17
  • Suspension: Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DSS) EVO semi‑active
    • Travel: approx. 170 mm front / 180 mm rear
  • Brakes: Dual 330 mm fronts with Brembo Stylema monobloc calipers; 265 mm rear
  • Rider aids (IMU‑based): Cornering ABS, Ducati Traction Control, Ducati Wheelie Control, Vehicle Hold Control, 4 Riding Modes (Sport, Touring, Urban, Enduro)
  • Radar tech: Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Blind Spot Detection (BSD) available
  • Display and connectivity: 6.5” full‑color TFT, Ducati Connect, smartphone navigation integration
  • Maintenance: Oil service every 15,000 km; valve clearance checks every 60,000 km (manufacturer‑claimed)
  • Emissions: Euro 5

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.
