Ducati launches new 2025 Multistrada V2 at Rs 18.88 lakh onward

With the new Multistrada V2 2025, Ducati takes the touring attitude of the Multistrada to an even higher level, thanks to significant improvements in lightness, handling, and ease of riding. The new Multistrada V2 weighs a full 18 kg less than the previous model, achieving a class-leading weight of 199 kg in running order without fuel. This lightness, combined with the wide and full-bodied delivery of the variable-valve twin-cylinder V2 engine, a benchmark electronics package, and careful ergonomic and aerodynamic development, transforms every trip into an unforgettable journey.

The 2025 Multistrada V2 is also new in style. Its design draws inspiration from the stylistic concepts that have made the history of the Multistrada family, with horizontally balanced volumes, a light and short tail, and a front area characterized by sporty lines. The new headlights and DRL, inspired by the latest-generation Panigale and Multistrada V4, define a compact and aggressive front view, immediately recognizable. The new silencer has a sharper shape and an even more personal sound, helping to underline the Ducati sporting DNA of the new Multistrada.

At ease on any road

Living up to its name, the Multistrada V2 S is a bike that further improves its ability to tackle all roads, especially those with imperfect surfaces. This Multistrada can in fact count on semi-active suspension with Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DSS) electronic control, further improving comfort, safety, and performance thanks to new electronic strategies that limit diving during braking and the tendency to “sit” during acceleration, ensuring optimal riding precision.

The new Multistrada V2 S is equipped with the Minimum Preload function, which allows the rear suspension to be lowered to a minimum with the simple press of a button, facilitating contact of the feet on the ground especially when fully loaded and with a passenger.

Safety and technology

The new Multistrada V2 boasts of a complete electronics package, manageable via redesigned handlebar controls and the new 5” TFT colour dashboard, with a completely revamped multilingual interface based on three different Info modes.

The five available Riding Modes (Sport, Touring, Urban, Enduro, and Wet) offer the possibility of adapting the Multistrada V2 to any situation, setting the engine power and response to pre-configured and modifiable values. The Riding Modes, of course, set the cornering ABS, Ducati Traction Control (DTC), Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC), and Engine Brake Control (EBC) to pre-defined levels, which can be modified by the rider.

The Multistrada V2 is equipped as standard with Cruise Control, a USB socket integrated into the dashboard, the Ducati Brake Light EVO (which manages emergency flashing in sudden braking) and, in the case of the V2 S, the Ducati Multimedia System, with the possibility of activating the Turn-by-turn navigator accessory. Furthermore, the new Coming Home function keeps the low beams active when the ignition is turned off, to illuminate the area in front of the bike and make home entry easier.

The new Multistrada V2 is also easier to handle when stationary and at low speed. Thanks to the redesigned ergonomics and a lower seat height, riders can rest their feet on the ground more safely.

More comfortable for the passenger

The new Multistrada V2 S is the ideal bike for travelling as a couple and has been designed to provide even more comfort to the travelling companion. The passenger roominess has been improved compared to the previous model in terms of legroom and torso space, thanks to rearward top box and side case attachments. Furthermore, thanks to the availability of seats of different heights for both the rider and the passenger, the Multistrada V2 S can be customized to adapt to any couple configuration.

Enduro Riding Mode with dedicated Power Mode and new Wet Riding Mode

To make the most of the Multistrada V2's potential in any context, Ducati has developed five Riding Modes that on the Multistrada V2 see a significant evolution of the Enduro mode and the introduction of the Wet mode, designed for wet surfaces and reduced grip.

Selecting the Enduro Riding Mode activates a dedicated Power Mode, which limits power with a dynamic and direct response specific for off-road use. The DTC switches to a lower intervention level and the DWC is deactivated. The ABS on the rear wheel is also deactivated, and the cornering function and rear lift-up detection are inhibited to adapt to off-road use.

Engine and chassis

The new Multistrada V2 is equipped with the new Ducati V2 engine, a 90° V-twin, 890 cc, with IVT variable intake valve timing and distribution with coil spring valve recall. This new engine, extremely compact and lightweight – weighing only 54.9 kg – makes an important contribution to the reduction of the bike's weight. In this configuration it delivers 115 hp at 10,750 rpm and 92 Nm of torque at 8,250 rpm. Valve clearance is checked every 45,000 km, confirming the benchmark intervals for the segment.

Regarding the chassis, the new Multistrada V2 is equipped with a completely redesigned frame, rear subframe, and swingarm, which embrace the same construction philosophy as the Multistrada V4. The frame is an aluminium monocoque that uses the engine as a stressed element, the rear subframe is a steel trellis, and the swingarm is cast in aluminium. All this, combined with the new V2 engine, allows the Multistrada to arrive at an extremely low weight: only 199 kg, in running order without fuel, for the V2 version, and 202 kg for the V2 S version equipped with semi-active suspension.
