Powertrain: The new Ducati V2 engine
At the heart of the Multistrada V2 lies Ducati’s new 890 cc V-twin V2 engine, featuring variable intake valve timing (IVT). The engine produces 115 hp at 10,750 rpm and 92 Nm of torque at 8,250 rpm. Designed to be compact and efficient, it weighs only 54.9 kg and complies with India’s E20 fuel standards. Valve clearance intervals are an impressive 45,000 km, underlining Ducati’s focus on reliability.
Technology and electronics
The new Multistrada V2 comes with a state-of-the-art electronics suite, controlled via redesigned switchgear and a 5-inch full-TFT display. Riders can choose between five Riding Modes — Sport, Touring, Urban, Enduro, and Wet — which adjust throttle response, traction control, ABS, and engine braking.
The advanced electronics package includes:
6-axis IMU with cornering ABS, traction, and wheelie control
Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) 2.0

Comfort and handling
The Multistrada V2 S variant features Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DSS) — a semi-active electronic system that constantly adjusts damping based on road and riding conditions. The Minimum Preload function lowers the suspension at the touch of a button, improving reach and comfort for shorter riders.
The ergonomics have also been refined, offering a lower seat height and improved passenger comfort, including better legroom and revised seat options for both rider and pillion.
Designed for adventure
Built for long-distance touring, the Multistrada V2 features a 19-litre fuel tank, Pirelli Scorpion Trail II tyres, and options for spoked wheels for off-road capability. The Enduro Riding Mode optimises power delivery and traction for rough terrain, while the new Wet Mode is designed for slippery roads.
A wide range of official Ducati accessories—from aluminium cases and crash protection to riding gear—allows riders to tailor their setup for every journey.
