Ducati has launched its 2025 Ducati Multistrada V4 lineup in India, with the standard model priced from ₹22.98 lakh (ex-showroom) and the top-spec V4 S reaching ₹28.64 lakh — enough to make you pause and picture that gleaming red fairing under showroom lights. Buyers can choose a new spoked-wheel version, nudging the top-end price to ₹30.18 lakh — about the cost of a small city car.
The adventure tourer runs on a 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine, producing 170 bhp and 123.8 Nm of torque with a deep, throaty growl. Ducati’s new cylinder deactivation system now kicks in even while you’re riding, trimming fuel use by about 6% over the last model — enough to smell less gas at every stoplight. The bike also features an automatic lowering system that drops the seat by up to 30mm at low speeds, making it easier to handle in city traffic and during stop-and-go moments, like waiting at a red light.
The Multistrada V4 S now comes with the latest Skyhook DSS EVO semi-active suspension, tuned with predictive tricks like sensing a bump before you feel it, plus a self-levelling system that keeps the bike steady when you’ve got luggage or a passenger on board. The new Forward Collision Warning adds another layer of protection, working alongside Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Detection, and the Ducati Brake Light — like an extra pair of eyes watching the road ahead. The braking system has also been fine-tuned to send power where it’s needed, shifting smoothly between the front and rear wheels based on the load and how the rider handles the levers.
The 2025 model gets a sharper Panigale V4-inspired front, a new silencer design, and improved LED headlights with cornering functionality. Inside, the 6.5-inch TFT screen still runs Ducati Connect, letting you pull up maps, take calls, or stream music with a quick tap. The pillion now rides in greater comfort, thanks to a reshaped seat and panniers and top case set a little farther back for better posture.
