    Ladies and gentlemen, here’s your first proper look at the Ducati Multistrada V4 in all its glory. It’s been thoroughly revamped for 2020, which means it gets a brand new motor with record maintenance intervals, looks better and features improved ergos and electronics. It’s the first bike to be unveiled through Ducati’s World Première web series. There’s a lot more to follow.

    The biggest change by far is the new 1158cc V4 Granturismo motor that not only has a smaller footprint than the previous V-twin engine, but is also a whole 1.2kg lighter. While it doesn’t surpass the 200PS barrier it’s been tuned to deliver more torque than the Streetfighter V4 at lower revs -- 170PS at 10,500rpm and 125Nm at 8750rpm. Read more about the engine here.

    Its electronic package includes measures for safety, comfort, performance, and connectivity. So you have a 6-axis IMU that manages cornering ABS, Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC), Ducati Traction Control (DTC) and Vehicle Hold Control (VHC). The system also tweaks the semi-active Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DSS) to auto level itself when it detects more load. If that’s not enough, you could opt for Ducati’s radar-based cruise control which comes with one of the top-spec trims.

    The Multistrada V4 uses an aluminium monocoque frame, a 19-inch front wheel and double-sided swingarm that can accommodate both spoke and alloy wheels. The wheelbase is now shorter -- 1,567mm as opposed to 1592mm. It also has more room to play with a higher ground clearance of 220mm. Ducati’s semi-active Skyhook Suspension (DSS) with its auto Leveling function handles suspension duties. The entire package weighs in at 215kg (dry), which is 10kg lighter than the Multistrada 1260 Enduro.

    In terms of design, the Multistrada V4 is sleeker and more compact than before. The muscular fuel tank can actually accommodate 22 litres of fuel, while its slim tail section has been designed to offer an optimal riding position even when the rider is standing up in off-road sections. There are a series of ducts which channel air towards the engine for better thermal management. The Multistrada V4 has the ability to deactivate the rear cylinders when the bike is idling.
