Every journey becomes an unforgettable memory with the Multistrada V2 S, the ideal gateway to enter the Ducati tourer universe. Light, with its full-bodied and usable engine and with high-quality standard equipment, it is a motorcycle born to experience exciting adventures; in addition, it is just at ease in urban use thanks to a refined chassis that ensures a smooth ride and an always-responsive reaction to rider input.
For 2024, the Multistrada V2 S updates the color range with the new Thrilling Black and Street Grey livery, which joins the classic Ducati Red color scheme. The livery enhances the sporty spirit of the Multistrada with a color scheme that alternates the elegance of Street Grey with the energy of the GP19 Red. Completing the look are the red wheel rims and the new graphics of the model name.
The Multistrada V2 S boasts a significant focus on ergonomics, with Ducati engineers meticulously crafting features to enhance rider comfort. With its 32.7-inch (830-millimeter) seat height providing easy ground contact and thoughtfully positioned footpegs accommodating taller riders, the bike ensures maximum comfort, allowing enthusiasts to fully immerse themselves in the exhilaration of daily travel experiences.
Whether long distances or short daily trips, the 937cc Ducati Testastretta 11-degree twin-cylinder engine, robust and manageable in any situation, always guarantees riding pleasure. The Testastretta delivers maximum power of 113 horsepower at 9,000 rpm and maximum torque of 72.3 foot-pounds (10 kilogram-meters) at 6,750 rpm.
High-level electronics complete the configuration of the Multistrada V2 S. The package includes anit-lock brake system (ABS) Cornering, Vehicle Hold Control (VHC) and Ducati Traction Control. Compared to the standard version, the Multistrada V2 S is also fitted as standard with cruise control, Ducati Quick Shift Up and Down (DQS) and a dashboard with 5-inch color TFT screen. Present on both the V2 and V2 S models are the four riding modes (Sport, Touring, Urban and Enduro), a technology that first appeared on a motorcycle on a Multistrada in 2010.
To make the travel experience of every enthusiast unique, Ducati Performance has created a series of high-quality accessories that enhance both the touring spirit and the urban character of the Multistrada V2 S. All the accessories can be viewed in the “Configurator” section of the Ducati.com website, where there is also a wide selection of garments designed for tackling long journeys in any weather condition.
In addition to the V2 and V2 S models, the Multistrada family comprises the Multistrada V4, V4 S, V4 Pikes Peak and the latest addition: V4 Rally. 2023 is a special year for the entire range: the Multistrada family is 20 years old. Since the first model in 2003, more than 100,000 motorcycles have come out of Borgo Panigale, Italy, to accompany travelers on their exciting adventures worldwide. It is a range capable of leaving its mark on Ducati’s history, opening new paths and introducing innovative technologies that have helped raise standards throughout the motorcycling world.
The Multistrada V2 S in Thrilling Black and Street Grey is available from $19,295 and will be available in Ducati dealerships starting fall 2023.
