The design of Multistrada V4 Rally flaunts the distinctive traits that make the Multistrada family so iconic: front-loaded mass, a slim and lightweight tail, and a compact front end. Elements that take the language of Ducati Superbikes and add a crossover-type twist. The front view showcases the double headlight, emphasised by new painted surfaces that add to the stage presence. A new silencer, a sharper profile, and a sound that only adds to the Ducati sports DNA round out the design.

On the Multistrada V4 Rally, form follows function. The need for greater range led to a redesign of the bike’s front end, with more powerful shoulders that, no higher than before, integrate perfectly with the narrow, ergonomic central section. From side on, the tank becomes a key design feature. Produced in brushed aluminium, it is enhanced with updated “Rally” lettering on the fin and protected by a lateral plate that, as well as protecting surfaces against any knee rubbing, takes on an aesthetic role. The combination of different surfaces and materials gives the front-end a technical, muscular look, highlighting the bike’s distinctive character. Given the Multistrada V4 Rally’s propensity for adventurous travel, the lower skid plate is larger with respect to the Multistrada V4, better protecting the engine from any impacts.

The ideal choice for long-range two-up travel, the Multistrada V4 Rally guarantees optimum comfort for the passenger, with side and top case fittings that maximise leg and torso space, to significantly increase the freedom of movement and comfort of the person sitting behind. In addition, a new die-cast support makes the top case more stable and secure, better supporting the passenger. Customisation is also possible, with a choice of different seat heights for rider and passenger as well as a lower suspension kit to suit any two-up configuration. To improve thermal comfort aboard the Multistrada V4 Rally, ducts in the leg area are adjustable and can use the heat released by the engine during the coldest months. The two heat shields, positioned respectively on the rear subframe and on the swingarm, reduce the heat perceived by both rider and passenger. Lastly, two new deflectors located close to where hot air exits the radiator, adjacent to the tank’s aluminium fin, help to keep heat away from the legs, reducing the perceived temperature.

The Multistrada V4 Rally harnesses all the aerodynamics knowledge and experience Ducati has gained in MotoGP to improve comfort, quality and riding pleasure. The front-end features aerodynamic deflectors to increase protection, particularly for the passenger, dragging the aerodynamic air flow further back with respect to the Multistrada V4 and V4 S and extending the area of calm air behind the fairing.
