The 2026 Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally uses the 1,158 cc V4 Granturismo engine delivers 170 PS of power at 10,750 rpm and 121 Nm at 8,750 rpm. These figures are combined with the counter-rotating crankshaft derived from Ducati Corse's experience in MotoGP, which works against the gyroscopic inertia of the wheels.
The V4 Granturismo is equipped with an extended rear cylinder deactivation strategy, which keeps the rear cylinder bank deactivated at standstill and at low revs and thus fuel consumption and emissions are reduced.
The 2026 Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally is available in three different trim levels, Radar - features adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, and forward collision warning.
Adventure Travel & Radar - adds aluminium side cases and heated rider and passenger seats
Full Adventure trim level completes this package with a homologated Akrapovic muffler and a carbon fibre front mudguard.
The bike has introduced automatic lowering device which quickly and automatically lowers itself when speeds drop below 10 kmph, and when the speed exceeds 50 kmph on the road or 20 kmph off-road, the motorcycle automatically returns to its normal ride height. The system operates automatically or can be deactivated by the rider.
The rider aids list is long on the Multistrada V4 Rally, it gets forward collision warning, ABS electronic combined braking system, semi-active adaptive Ducati skyhook suspension EVO, wheelie control, cornering ABS, a 6.5-inch TFT dash, new windshield, a quickshifter, and TPMS to name a few. It also features Ducati Vehicle Observer that accurately estimates the motorcycle's position in space and its overall mass, simulating the input of 70 sensors to supplement the data provided by the inertial platform.
Suspension duties are handled by semi-active Marzocchi units which work in tandem with the Ducati skyhook suspension feature, this lets the rider adjust the suspension on-the-go by assessing the terrain in real-time. The bike gets 200 mm of travel on both ends which is a 30 mm hike when compared to the outgoing model. Braking is done by Brembo Stylema radial calipers biting on dual 330mm front discs and a 280mm rotor at the rear.
International deliveries are expected to start from November 2025 and its is likely to make to the Indian shore by sometime in 2026. It will be available in in two colour schemes: Ducati Red/Brushed Aluminium with black spoked wheels and Jade Green/Brushed Aluminium with gold spoked wheels, both with a 30-litre brushed aluminium fuel tank.
