In terms of raw performance, these two are evenly matched. The S 1000 XR and Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak produce nearly identical power figures, meaning the real-world difference will come down to gearing and torque delivery rather than peak horsepower. When it comes to agility, the S 1000 XR has a clear advantage. Weighing in 12kg less than the Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the s1000xr if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the multistrada-v4 if you want the alternative brand character.
