Ducati Unveils 2026 Multistrada V4 Rally With Forward Collision Warning and Longer-Travel Suspension

Global deliveries begin in November, with India slated for the second quarter of 2026.

Overview

  • The adventure-touring model retains the 1,158 cc V4 Granturismo engine rated at about 170 hp and 121 Nm, with extended rear‑cylinder deactivation to cut heat and fuel use at low load.
  • An expanded electronics suite adds radar-based Forward Collision Warning alongside Adaptive Cruise Control and Blind Spot Detection, while the Ducati Vehicle Observer uses data from roughly 70 sensors to refine cornering ABS and wheelie control.
  • Semi-active Marzocchi Skyhook Suspension EVO now offers 200 mm of travel with road and riding-style detection, plus an Automatic Lowering Device, Easy Lift function, and a larger 280 mm rear brake with revised linked braking.
  • Ducati will sell three trims—Radar; Adventure Travel & Radar (aluminium panniers and heated seats); and Full Adventure (Akrapovič muffler and carbon-fibre front mudguard)—with Ducati Red and Jade Green/Brushed Aluminium color options.
  • Outlets report a starting price around US$31,995, and touring-focused equipment includes a 30‑litre tank, a 6.5‑inch TFT with Ducati Connect, heated grips, cornering lights, and refreshed interface and controls.
