2026 Ducati Multistrada V4 RS

The 2026 Ducati Multistrada V4 RS is a performance-focused adventure bike infused with superbike technology, featuring the 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale engine from the Panigale V4, paired with a dry STM-EVO clutch and Akrapovič exhaust. Producing around 177.5 bhp at 13,500 rpm in Euro5+ spec, it benefits from a shortened final drive for quicker acceleration. Weighing approximately 211 kg—3 kg less than the Pikes Peak—it achieves this through lightweight components like a titanium subframe and lithium-ion battery. It comes equipped with 17-inch forged Marchesini wheels wrapped in Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV Corsa tyres, a single-sided swingarm, and semi-active Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension. Braking is handled by twin 330 mm discs with Brembo Stylema calipers and cornering ABS. With more aggressive ergonomics, including raised foot-pegs and narrower handlebars, the RS also features distinct visual touches like carbon fiber accents, RS badging, and a numbered plate. Its advanced electronics package includes five riding modes, radar-based adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning, and Ducati's new “Vehicle Observer” predictive system. European deliveries begin in November 2025, followed by international markets in early 2026.
