Ducati Multistrada V2

Dimension-wise, the Multistrada V2 is a big adventure bike. The overall design and dimensions are big enough to make it difficult to ride within the city limits. The stance, the seat height, the USD forks with 48mm of travel, and the high-set rear design make it a perfect highway tourer or an off-road machine. Also, due to the dimensions, most of the short riders will find it difficult to ride especially within the city limits or even on the outskirts.

Engine construction and performance are the highlights of the Multistrada V2. The bike is now 5 kg lighter than the outgoing 950. The 937cc, L-twin, liquid-cooled, desmodromic distribution engine produces a peak power of 111.3hp and a peak torque of 94 Nm. The gearbox is a 6-speed slip-assist clutch with an 8-plate setup and quick-shifter embedded for fast upshifts as well downshifts. These figures and tech make the V2 a fast motorcycle on and off the road. Mileage figures of the V2 have still not been released from the Ducati itself.

Ducati offers a 19-inch front and a 17-inch rear tyre setup for the V2. These tyres make for a perfect ride and handling combination for the V2. Ducati also provides the 320mm dual-disc front brakes and a single-disc 240mm rear disc brake setup for braking duties. These brakes are stitched together with a dual-channel ABS, 8-step traction control, 4 riding modes, and a fully adjustable suspension. Other features include the likes of twin-pod LED headlights, a fully digital and coloured MID screen, an adjustable windscreen, etc.
