Ducati has been dominating the adventure motorcycle segment with its popular Multistrada lineup.
- With over 100,000 units sold, the Multistrada has been the bikemaker’s crowning glory and remains its best-selling motorcycle in 2023.
- The Multistrada V4 continue to be the firm’s most popular motorcycle since it’s introduction.
Given this resounding triumph, it comes as no surprise that Ducati plans to further expand its Multistrada offerings in 2024. Recently, the company confirmed its intentions by filing trademarks for two new models in the United States.
These motorcycles are set to be high-spec variants of the existing adventure bikes, and enthusiasts are eager to learn more.
One of the anticipated releases is the Ducati Multistrada V4 Grand Tour for the 2024 model year. Having received certification from the California Air Resources Board (CARB), this adventure-packed motorcycle promises to deliver a thrilling experience for riders.
Drawing inspiration from its predecessor, the 2020 Multistrada 1260 S Grand Tour, the V4 Grand Tour is expected to come equipped with practical features such as hard saddlebags, auxiliary lights, a center stand, and new saddles.
On top of that, riders can anticipate an array of creature comforts, including a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), electronic gas cap, heated grips, and keyless ignition.
Ducati is likely to adopt a similar approach to the 2024 Multistrada Grand Tour, building on the existing V4 S model by adding the missing elements that distinguish it from its standard counterpart. The addition of these premium features, coupled with a bespoke colorway for enhanced exclusivity, promises to make the Grand Tour a truly coveted adventure motorcycle.
Nevertheless, the Multistrada V4 Grand Tour is set to retain its powerhouse performance, maintaining the formidable Granturismo 1,158cc V4 engine capable of delivering 170hp @ 10,500rpm and 125Nm @ 8,750rpm via h a six-speed gearbox.
Similarly, riders can rely on a wide range of advanced rider aids, including various ride modes, power modes, wheelie control, radar-guided cruise control, and traction control.
Ducati enthusiasts can also rest assured that the suspension will remain unchanged, with the bike featuring 50mm USD forks and a monoshock at the rear, both equipped with Ducati’s Skyhook technology for electronic adjustability.
With the exciting prospect of the Multistrada V4 Grand Tour joining the illustrious Multistrada lineup, adventure motorcycle enthusiasts have even more to look forward to in 2024.
