Latest Updates
Wednesday, 16 October 2024 10:02 PM
The 2025 Ducati Multistrada V4 S has been updated with an auto-lowering function that drops the bike’s suspension when it travels below 6 mph, making it easier for shorter riders to handle. This feature softens the front and rear suspension, reducing the seat height by over an inch. I believe this is a significant improvement for accessibility and comfort.
Wednesday, 16 October 2024 08:27 AM
Ducati has introduced the Easy Lift function on the Multistrada V4 S, which softens the front and rear suspension when the ignition is turned on, making it easier to lift the bike from the side stand. This update is available free of charge for existing owners and as a standard feature on new bikes. I think this is a thoughtful move to enhance user experience.
Friday, 20 September 2024 08:46 AM
The 2025 Multistrada V4 S also features revised suspension and the introduction of a Wet riding mode, which offers more traction on slippery surfaces. The Enduro mode has been re-tuned with limited power output and adjusted traction control and ABS settings. I believe these updates will significantly enhance the bikes performance and safety.
Friday, 20 September 2024 09:04 AM
Ducati has updated the Multistrada V4 S with rear cylinder deactivation to improve fuel efficiency, a feature that can now activate even when the bike is moving. This, along with other tweaks, aims to make the bike more efficient and comfortable. I think this is a smart move towards better fuel economy without compromising performance.
Tuesday, 15 March 2022 11:27 PM
The Multistrada V4 S continues to boast state-of-the-art technology, including front and rear radar, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and Blind Spot Detection (BSD), which enhance riding comfort and safety. The bike also has benchmark maintenance intervals with valve clearance checks every 60,000 km. I believe these features make it one of the most advanced bikes in its class.
Mileage
Monday, 18 November 2024 07:10 PM
The mileage of the Ducati Multistrada V4 S is not its strongest suit, particularly when compared to other motorcycles in its class. In real-world conditions, owners have reported mileage figures ranging from 12 to 15.6 kmpl, with the higher end of this range achievable only when riding conservatively on highways. The bikes V4 engine, while powerful and efficient in terms of performance, does come at the cost of fuel efficiency. However, for those who prioritize the thrill of riding and the capabilities of an adventure bike, the slightly lower mileage may be a trade-off worth considering. Its also worth noting that the bikes fuel efficiency can vary significantly based on riding style and conditions.
