Ducati Begins 2022 Chapter With The New Multistrada V2

Ducati rolls out the first episode of the Ducati World Premier 2022 (DWP 2022) web series with the new Multistrada V2.

While it may look like the current 950S, the Multistrada V2 is a far technologically advanced motorcycle thanks to an all-new electronic package.

According to the Bologna-based company, the entire build was focus on ergonomics, weight reduction, and engine updates.

As a result, the new Multistrada V2 is equipped with the latest 937cc Testastretta 11° with desmodromic distribution and a water-cooled unit that delivers 113hp and 98Nm.

The twin-cylinder engine offers linear and manageable power at low-revs while also capable of pumping greater torque when needed.

Ducati claimed the engine has an extended maintenance interval, with a regular oil change at every 15,000km and Ducati Desmo service (valve clearance check) at every 30,000km.

This is contributed by using new connecting rods, a new 8-disc hydraulic clutch and an updated gearbox that guarantees better precision during shifting.

In order to achieve maximum comfort, the Multistrada V2 features a 19″ front wheel and Ducati Skyhook Suspension EVO semi-active suspension that adjust the suspensions settings according to the road conditions.

Shorter riders will also benefit from the shorter 830mm seat height and narrower saddle, allowing you to touch the ground with your feet easily.

Interestingly, the Multistrada V2 also features a new footpeg taken from its bigger cousin, the Multistrada V4 and a 5kg weight reduction compared to the current Multistrada 950.

Moving on to the best bits, the Multistrada V2 is packed with a host of electronics packages, beginning with ABS Cornering, Vehicle Hold Control, Ducati Traction Control, four Riding Modes and Ducati Brake Light System that flickers in the event of sudden braking.

Meanwhile, the S version gets you the Ducati semi-active suspension, Cruise Control, LED headlight with Ducati Cornering Lights, quickshifter, a hands-free system, and a 5″ full-colour TFT display.
