From Ducati web-site:

The Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour combines the distinctive lines of the Multistrada V4 with equipment dedicated to long-range touring. The exclusive Grand Tour livery and equipment seamlessly integrated into the design make for a travel-ready bike that effectively combines functionality, comfort and attention to detail.

Every detail of the Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour is designed to support the rider and passenger as they discover new destinations. The dedicated touring equipment integrates seamlessly into the design of the bike, retaining the distinctive Multistrada character and providing all the essentials for comfortable and practical long-distance travel.

Dedicated Grand Tour livery
Designed especially for this version, the Grand Tour livery showcases the lines of the Multistrada V4 with a combination of details and finishes that strengthen its touring identity.

Accessories integrated into the design
Seamlessly integrated into the bike’s proportions and complementing its livery, the side cases are designed to be spacious and secure both when mounted on the bike and when removed as luggage. The cases are anchored to the bike via a sophisticated tilting system, ensuring complete stability even at motorway speeds.

Rounding out the equipment are front and rear LED fog lights, to heighten visibility in more challenging riding conditions.

The 1158 cc V4 Granturismo engine combines power and extraordinary control. Smooth, progressive response across the rev range ensures an exhilarating riding experience.

Strategies to reduce consumption
Thanks to extended rear bank deactivation, the V4 Granturismo engine automatically switches off the two rear cylinders when power demand is reduced. A solution that contributes to lowering consumption when travelling at constant speed, while always ensuring the performance and smoothness for which the Ducati four-cylinder stands out. A tangible advantage for those who love to travel long distance, with greater efficiency and less fuel stops.

Valve clearance check at 60,000 km
The V4 Granturismo is an engine designed to carry you far. All V4 Granturismo components are conceived to guarantee the utmost reliability. This allows for longer service intervals, like the valve clearance check at 60,000km, a benchmark well above the segment average.

Intuitive shifting. Smoother riding
Ducati Quick Shift allows for upshifting without using the clutch, for smoother, more precise gear shifting. A system that comes into its own on long trips and on winding routes, improving comfort and continuity so that the rider can focus solely on the road.

Engineered for comfort.
The Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour is designed to deliver riding pleasure and control in every situation. From long-distance travel with a passenger and bags, to tackling the most winding roads, every element is developed to ensure a precise, predictable response.

Greater precision, even at full load
For stable riding even at full load, the aluminium double-sided swingarm’s pivot position helps reduce rear-end squad in acceleration, improving bike balance and riding precision out of the turn. This is particularly valuable on trips with a passenger and luggage, where stability and control become even more important.

Powerful, progressive braking
The Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour adopts a 280 mm rear disc and progressive rear brake lever with optimised pedal, designed to improve control grip, sensitivity and modulation. This makes for braking that is more efficient, progressive and easily controlled in all conditions of use.

Mechanical performance is combined with advanced electronics that support the rider in different riding situations. The Front to Rear function optimises the distribution of braking force between the front and rear wheels based on the bike’s load, helping to maintain stability and balance even with a passenger and luggage.

The Rear to Front function intervenes in specific lean conditions and depending on the chosen Riding Mode, automatically applying a degree of braking force at the front when the rear brake is activated. A system developed to heighten precision, stability and control, particularly when touring. (Only with ABS set at level 3)

Ergonomics designed to travel
The Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour promises exceptional comfort, even during the longest days on the road. The seat shape and profile and the available leg space are designed to ensure a natural, relaxed position, to the benefit of both rider and passenger.

To adapt to different ergonomic needs, the rider seat and passenger seat can be adjusted according to two positions. A solution that helps improve travel comfort and make every route more enjoyable, from everyday rides to long-range adventures on the road.

In addition, with Ducati Factory Made, the rider can further customise bike configuration with seats of different heights and a suspension lowering kit.

Travel-oriented technology.
The Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour integrates the most advanced Ducati technologies to make every trip easier, safer and more engaging. From rider assistance systems to connectivity, as well as functions dedicated to comfort and bike management, every solution is designed to help rider and passenger enjoy every mile, with greater control and peace of mind.

Front and rear radar system
The Multistrada V4 S was the world’s first bike to integrate both front and rear radar, activating advanced rider assistance systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning and Blind Spot Detection. Adaptive Cruise Control automatically maintains a safe distance from the vehicle in front, while Forward Collision Warning warns the rider in case of sudden approach. Blind Spot Detection further heightens safety by identifying vehicles coming from behind.

5 Riding Mode: Sport, Touring, Urban, Enduro, Wet
The Sport, Touring, Urban, Enduro and Wet modes allow bike behaviour to be rapidly adjusted to the conditions of use.

Each Riding Mode acts on engine delivery, suspension, electronic controls and rider assistance systems to offer the best balance of performance, comfort and safety, from long-range touring to everyday riding.

Sport Riding Mode
The most performance-oriented on asphalt. In this Riding Mode, the new Multistrada V4 Grand Tour delivers its full 170 hp with a direct, dynamic response, managed by a sports Skyhook suspension setting. Ducati Traction Control and Ducati Wheelie Control intervention is reduced to a minimum. ABS, set at level 2, allows for controlled rear wheel lift to maximise performance under braking, while retaining the Cornering function. The ideal choice for expert riders wanting to fully exploit the bike’s performance.

Touring Riding Mode
In Touring Riding Mode, Ducati Multistrada V4 Grand Tour maximum power remains at 170 hp, but delivery is smoother and more progressive, while DTC and DWC intervention are higher for greater vehicle control. ABS is set at level 3, the safest thanks to active rear wheel lift detection, combined braking efficiency, and active Cornering function. The suspension setting is designed for long-range travel and offers both rider and passenger maximum comfort.

Urban Riding Mode
In Urban Riding Mode, power delivery is reduced to 114 hp with a particularly smooth and progressive response, while the suspension setting is ideal for tackling common urban obstacles such as speed bumps, potholes or drain covers, effectively managing the continuous changes in surface. DTC and DWC are at a high intervention level, while ABS is set at level 3.

Enduro Riding Mode
Enduro Riding Mode allows the new Multistrada V4 Grand Tour to fully exploit its off-road potential. This mode limits engine power to 114 hp with a dedicated Offroad Engine Mode, for a more dynamic and direct response with respect to Urban Mode, despite the same power. Enduro mode also delivers a specific off-road suspension setting. The DTC and DWC systems are set at a low intervention level, while ABS is set at level 1, ideal for off-road use on low-grip terrain. In this case, the rear wheel lift detection and Cornering functions are deactivated.

Wet Riding Mode
Wet Riding Mode is designed for wet weather riding. This mode reduces maximum power to 114 hp with a particularly smooth throttle response. The electronic controls are set to offer maximum stability and optimum grip.

Skyhook suspension with Bump Detection
Offering a wide range of configuration options, the exclusive Ducati Skyhook semi-active suspension system allows for significant customisation of the riding experience based on route and riding style. The key advantage of electronic suspension is its ability to significantly alter bike behaviour in a matter of seconds, allowing the rider to tailor the setup to every type of riding. In addition, the new Bump Detection system automatically identifies any rough terrain, transmitting the information to the rear and instantly adjusting the rear shock response.

Electronic Combined Braking System: intelligent braking
The Electronic Combined Braking System automatically manages the distribution of braking force between the front and rear wheels to optimise braking efficiency, stability and control.
The system integrates Front to Rear and Rear to Front logic, adjusting intervention based on the riding conditions, load, and selected Riding Mode, to offer a predictable and safe response in every situation.

Automatic Lowering Device
Greater safety when manoeuvring.

The Automatic Lowering Device automatically reduces bike height at low speeds and when stationary, making it easier for a rider’s feet to reach the ground.

As the speed increases, the system automatically restores the ideal setup to ensure stability and comfort while riding. A particularly useful function when travelling with a passenger and luggage.

Effortless handling when stationary with Easy Lift function
The Easy Lift function adjusts the suspension hydraulics to reduce the effort required when handling the bike or lifting it off the stand.

A practical aid that facilitates usage day to day and during travel breaks.

6.5” TFT with integrated navigation
All the information you need, right where you need it.

The 6.5-inch colour TFT display offers optimum readability in all lighting conditions thanks to Optical Bonding technology. With Ducati Connect, it is possible to view turn-by-turn navigation, manage calls and music, and access key travel information directly on the dash.

Ducati Connect app
Ducati Connect allows a smartphone to be connected to the bike to manage navigation, phone calls and multimedia content directly via the TFT display. A solution designed to simplify trips and ensure the rider’s focus is always on the road.
