Ducati Malaysia invited a group of 22 riders from BMW GS Owners Club Malaysia to get up close and personal with the all-new Ducati Multistrada V4 S on Saturday.
The initiative was to allow every owner from other major brands to try out the new adventure bike capabilities, including understanding the electronics and features and radar sensor technology.
Also present was an automotive celebrity, Hezeri Samsuri from Careta, who owns the BMW F 850 GS.
The new Ducati Multistrada V4 S is the all-new adventure bike introduced globally in November last year and quickly garnered attention as the best ADV bike instead of the ever-popular BMW R 1250 GS range.
The Multistrada V4 is available in two variants, V4 and V4 S, priced at RM135,900 and RM146,900, respectively.
Finally, you can get your hands on the all-new 2021 Ducati Monster almost a year since its global reveal back in December 2020.
Going back to its roots when the first Monster was launched back in 1993, the 2021 Ducati Monster is now sportier than ever thanks to its superbike-derived frame. Its engine is now an integral stress member of the chassis which is directly connected to its front frame and rear tail, just like the Panigale V4.
Compared to the previous 821, the new Monster is a whopping 18kg lighter thanks to this new setup (166kg dry, the same weight as a fully fuelled Yamaha YZF-R25).
A part of that new weight loss regime consists of a new 937cc engine which is bigger and more powerful than the 821, but 2.4kg lighter.
The 937cc twin-cylinder Desmodromic Testastretta 11° engine is tuned to produce 111hp at 9,250rpm and 93Nm torque at 6,500rpm.
That’s an extra 3hp and 7Nm more on a bike that’s considerably lighter. This also means that the new 2021 Monster has a much better power-to-weight ratio.
In terms of design, the new Monster is now more compact and narrower on the sides that make it easier to ride and place your foot on the ground for easier handling. Other specs include:
Cornering ABS, riding modes, Ducati Traction Control, Ducati Wheelie Control
Ducati Quick Shift, Ducati Power Launch, dynamic turn indicator + more
There’s also the 2021 Ducati Monster +, which is essentially similar to the base Monster with the addition of a flyscreen and passenger seat cover. Customers can choose between three base colours as well as a number of cover and sticker kits for that ‘custom’ look.
The 2021 Ducati Monster is available for a promotional price of RM69,900.
Ducati Malaysia announced a 3-months warranty extension for Ducati owners whose warranty periods are ending between August and September 2021.
The 3-months extension is an initiative by Ducati Malaysia to help owners who might have struggled to meet maintenance requirements during the Movement Control Order (MCO).
“Our owners and customers have maintained strong support for the Ducati brand in Malaysia, and we felt that it was our responsibility to extend as much assistance as we could in return as we navigate through the challenges of the recent pandemic.
“This ecosystem of supportiveness is the kind of collaboration that will pave the way for even more joyous experiences ahead,” said Dennis Michael, Head of Company Ducati Malaysia.
Ducati customers can reach out to any official Ducati Service centre to schedule an appointment.
Any identified issue will be repaired within the scope of the warranty coverage only. However, Ducati Malaysia will offer a 15% discount on spare parts and non-warrantable components.
Customers who have scheduled appointments will also be entitled to a 35% discount on Ducati Accessories and Apparel.

Fast forward into September, Next Bike Sdn Bhd the official distributor of the Ducati brand in Malaysia has finally unveiled the all-new Multistrada V4 for the local market.
Starting with the design, the new 2021 Ducati Multistrada V4 still carries that iconic Italian ADV bike looks where form blends exceptionally well with function.
At the front, the headlight is inspired by the very sporty Panigale series thanks to its full-LED setup and daytime-running lights with cornering illumination functions.
You’ll also see a strange square box embedded upfront, which is the bike’s internal radar system linked to its Adaptive Cruise Control and Blind Spot Detection systems.
A more sporty appeal is seen on the sides thanks to those wind-shaped curves that not only looks superb but also helps to increase stability as well as provide thermal and aerodynamic comfort.
This also helps with the overall riding ergonomics due to its slim subframe for ‘greater control and riding pleasure.
The heart of the new Multistrada V4 lies a 1,158cc Ducati Granturismo V4 engine that puts out 170hp at 10,500rpm and 125Nm of torque at 8,750rpm.
Features like a counter-rotating crankshaft (MotoGP inspired) and dedicated gearshift (Panigale V4 inspired) offer even more versatility, especially with its shorter first gear and longer sixth gear.
