2025 Ducati Multistrada V2 Globally Debuts with New Engine, Lighter Weight and More Upgrades

Ducati has revealed the 2025 Multistrada V2 at the Intermot show in Cologne, with a new engine, an updated design, and a reduced weight of 18 kg. The updated model takes design inspiration from the larger V4, with a sharper, shorter beak and a taller windscreen. Other prominent features include bold, wide LED headlights, and more streamlined and compact taillights, which add to the overall look. The bike has two variants (the standard V2 and the S) and is available in two colour options (Ducati Red and Storm Green).

While the bike is set to go on sale globally starting in January, Ducati has yet to make any announcements regarding its availability in India. Currently, the Multistrada V2 is priced at Rs 16.35 lakh for the standard variant and Rs 18.99 lakh for the V2 S variant. Read on for more details.

2025 Ducati Multistrada V2: What’s More?

Powering the revamped Multistrada V2 is Ducati’s most recent V2 unit, which debuted earlier this year in the all-new Panigale V2. It is the lightest twin-cylinder produced by Ducati, weighing only 54.9 kg. This 890cc V2 generates 113.4bhp at 10,750rpm and 92Nm at 8,250rpm. The V2 engine's variable intake valve timing results in a wider power range and more responsive low-end performance. Designed to function well at low speeds, the Multistrada V2 has a bigger flywheel and revised gear ratios, which include shorter first and second gears for more agility and smoothness. In addition to improving fuel efficiency, the longer sixth gear makes extended voyages more comfortable. Furthermore, the new Multistrada features the state-of-the-art Ducati Quick Shift 2.0 system, which features a sensor mounted directly on the gear drum for faster and more seamless gear changes.

The engine is housed in a newly designed aluminium monocoque frame, complemented by a reworked steel trellis subframe and a double-sided swingarm made from cast aluminium. This updated frame enhances cornering stability while also contributing to a reduction in overall weight compared to its predecessor.

The all-new Multistrada V2 comes equipped with advanced braking and suspension systems, elevating its performance and handling. Braking is managed by twin 320mm front discs and a 265mm rear disc. The V2 S, the more premium variant, is outfitted with Ducati's cutting-edge electronic semi-active Skyhook Suspension, providing 170mm of front and rear wheel travel. In contrast, the standard V2 model is equipped with fully adjustable Marzocchi USD front forks and a rear shock. Both models use Pirelli Scorpion Trail II tyres, mounted on the 17-inch rear and 19-inch front wheels.

Ducati has packed the motorcycle with features and technology. These include the Ducati Brake Light EVO, a USB port built into the dashboard, five riding modes (sport, touring, urban, enduro, and wet), and a new 5-inch TFT colour dashboard.

The bike’s seat features two height-adjustable settings (850mm and 830mm) to guarantee the rider may safely place their feet on the ground. Ducati also provides an additional seat that can be lowered to 810mm or lifted to 870mm. The V2 S model's semi-active DSS (Ducati Skyhook Suspension) and Minimum Preload system allow the seat to be lowered to 790mm.
