The Ducati Multistrada V2 continues the Italian brand’s legacy of delivering capable, refined, and performance-oriented motorcycles for adventure touring lovers. Designed for those who demand versatility on all terrains, the Multistrada V2 is a lighter, more approachable alternative to the larger V4 sibling — without compromising on Ducati’s signature performance and sophistication.
Priced starting from ₹15.49 lakh (ex-showroom, India), this motorcycle is aimed at both experienced riders and those stepping into the adventure-touring segment with big aspirations.
Premium Styling with Practical Form
Visually, the Multistrada V2 is unmistakably a Ducati — sharp, muscular, and aerodynamic. The tall stance, aggressive front beak, and wide fairing panels give it a rugged ADV (adventure) look, while still maintaining Italian elegance.
The split LED headlamp, large windscreen, and ergonomic seating position highlight the bike’s touring credentials. Even with its commanding road presence, Ducati has shaved off weight (approx. 5 kg less than the previous 950 model), making the V2 more agile and balanced.
Proven Performance from the Testastretta Engine
At the heart of the Multistrada V2 lies the tried-and-tested 937cc Testastretta 11° L-Twin engine. This engine churns out 113 hp at 9,000 rpm and 96 Nm of torque at 6,750 rpm, offering a smooth yet punchy power delivery across the rev range.
Mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a bi-directional quickshifter (in the V2 S variant), the Multistrada V2 makes long-distance riding, city commuting, and spirited weekend rides equally enjoyable.
Rider-Focused Ergonomics and Comfort
Ducati has reworked the ergonomics to make the Multistrada V2 more accessible. The seat height is now lower (830 mm), and the footpegs are redesigned to allow better legroom. Combined with the upright riding posture and plush saddle, long rides become more enjoyable with reduced fatigue.
Suspension duties are handled by a fully adjustable 48mm USD fork at the front and a monoshock at the rear, giving the bike excellent handling on tarmac and rougher roads alike.
Packed with Technology
As expected from Ducati, the Multistrada V2 is loaded with rider-focused technology. The base variant comes with:
- Bosch cornering ABS
- Ducati Traction Control (DTC)
- Vehicle Hold Control (VHC)
- Multiple riding modes (Sport, Touring, Urban, Enduro)
- Full LCD instrument cluster
The V2 S variant further adds:
- A full TFT color display
- Cruise control
- Ducati Quick Shift (DQS)
- Cornering lights
- Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DSS) electronic suspension system
Touring Capabilities
With a 20-liter fuel tank, aerodynamic windscreen, and optional panniers and top box, the Multistrada V2 is built for long-distance touring. Whether it’s mountain curves or open highways, the bike delivers stability and confidence in every scenario.
Who Should Buy It?
The Ducati Multistrada V2 is for riders who want a premium adventure-touring motorcycle that can handle both daily duties and ambitious road trips. It’s a smart choice for those who find the Multistrada V4 too intimidating or expensive but still want top-tier Ducati engineering and performance.
Final Verdict
The Ducati Multistrada V2 strikes a near-perfect balance between agility, comfort, and all-road capability. It’s not just an adventure bike — it’s a lifestyle statement for riders who want freedom, performance, and Italian style rolled into one premium machine.
