powering the Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour is the Grandturismo V4 engine that pumps 170hp and 125Nm.

At the core of the 2024 Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour lies the robust 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine, delivering a claimed 170hp and 125Nm of torque.

Notably, this powertrain has been engineered with an emphasis on the convenience of long-distance touring, boasting extended maintenance intervals. Ducati recommends oil changes for this engine every two years or after covering 15,000 kilometers with valve clearance checks suggested at the 60,000-kilometer mark.

This touring marvel comes equipped with four distinct ride modes: Sport, Touring, Enduro, and Urban. Sport and Touring modes provide access to the full spectrum of the V4 GT’s power, while Enduro and Urban modes adjust the output to a more manageable 112.6hp to suit varying riding conditions.

Setting a new standard for functionality and touring comfort, the 2024 Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour arrives from the factory with Travel and Radar packages pre-installed.

Notably, this motorcycle features Ducati’s adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitoring as standard, along with the Skyhook semi-active suspension system. Additionally, the Minimum Preload and Easy Lift functions are included to enhance the overall riding experience.

If the Ducati DesertX already turned heads with its distinctive design, the Rally version is set to elevate the off-road experience with a host of notable enhancements. Its unique appearance, reminiscent of the Cagiva Elefante, features a towering stance and muscular side panels. However, it seems that the stock DesertX may not be as bash-friendly as some riders would prefer, and this is precisely where the Rally steps in to address these concerns.

One of the standout improvements is the elongated, motocross-style front fender that graces the new model. This significant addition is complemented by robust fork protectors, extending upward to shield the upper tubes and embrace the stanchions, reducing the likelihood of oil seal damage – a welcome sight for off-road adventurers.

Another alteration to note is the revamped windshield, which, though maintaining its characteristic polka-dot pattern, appears taller compared to the standard DesertX. For those who dare to venture further off the beaten path, a new engine bash plate takes center stage. Reinforced with the trellis chassis and featuring a forged carbon construction, it ensures durability while adding a touch of rugged sophistication.

Ducatisti will also appreciate the inclusion of the Rally saddle from the accessory catalog. This dual-tone (red-black) flat, single-piece seat replaces the stock split setup, providing greater ease of movement when navigating through dirt and challenging landscapes. While the seat height may see a slight increase, the overall riding experience and triangle should remain largely unchanged.

When it comes to the bike’s rear, it bears a familiar look, with the fender and lights closely resembling those found on the existing DesertX. However, keen-eyed observers will spot the addition of side racks as the only noteworthy update.

To top it all off, the Ducati DesertX Rally flaunts a striking special livery that is sure to turn heads. The keen observer will notice a hidden red hue beneath the surface of the covered plastics, while the subframe and pillion grab rail proudly sport a vibrant red finish. In contrast, the tank and rear fender appear to embrace a sleek white shade, resulting in a captivating dual-tone livery that showcases Ducati’s signature red in all its glory.

Ducati To Expand The SuperSport 950 Family With A Touring Variant

As the automotive world continues to evolve, manufacturers are constantly seeking ways to meet the diverse needs of riders. In a recent move that has sparked intrigue among enthusiasts, Ducati has submitted an Executive Order to the California Air Resources Board (CARB), hinting at a potential expansion of its SuperSport 950 range.

While CARB’s regulations primarily pertain to emissions standards for vehicles sold within California, their influence often extends nationwide.
Traditionally, models released for the US market tend to find their way into the global market as well, making this development of significant interest to motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide.

Although details are limited, the CARB documentation sheds light on Ducati’s intentions for the 2024 SuperSport family.

A closer look at Ducati’s current lineup reveals a diverse array of models catering to different segments of riders. From sport-oriented Panigale machines to adventure-ready Multistradas and the retro charm of the Scrambler series, Ducati has managed to offer options for a wide range of preferences.

However, one notable gap in their lineup has been the absence of a robust Touring or Sport Touring option. This omission hasn’t gone unnoticed by motorcycle enthusiasts who often seek to adapt their bikes for touring purposes, even if the design wasn’t explicitly intended for it. The CARB filings for the 2024 SuperSport family hint at a possible solution to this gap. The new model designations, “Ducati SuperSport S T” and “Ducati SuperSport T,” suggest that Ducati might be gearing up to address the touring segment.

While the official details remain under wraps, these designations could be indicative of a “Touring” or “Turismo” variant. This potential addition aligns with Ducati’s commitment to innovation and its eagerness to cater to a broader spectrum of riders. The term “Turismo” offers a more mellifluous alternative to the straightforward “Touring,” and its adoption could lend a touch of Italian flair to the new model.

As of August 21, 2023, the anticipation is building for Ducati’s 2024 World Première calendar, set to kick off in September. Unlike the previous year, where each premier event came with its own teaser, this time around, Ducati has opted for a more mysterious approach. This absence of direct cues leaves room for speculation about how the CARB information might correlate with the upcoming announcements.

Teammate Enea Bastianini, who started from 13th on the grid, showcased his determination as he battled with five other riders for a sixth-place finish. Despite facing challenges, Bastianini secured a commendable top-ten finish, closing in at 10th place.

Reflecting on his victory, Bagnaia shared his thoughts, “Sincerely, I’m very happy. We managed to do an incredible job all weekend, the engineers and my team gave me everything I asked for, and this was the result.” He also expressed his excitement for the upcoming challenges in the season and his dedication to maintaining this momentum.

Ducati Achieves Record-Breaking First Half-Year Sales, Delivers 34,976 Motorcycles Globally

Ducati has experienced unprecedented success in the first half of 2023, surpassing all previous records with its remarkable sales figures.

Delivering an impressive 34,976 motorcycles worldwide, the Italian-based company has achieved a 5 percent growth compared to the same period last year.
The Ducati Multistrada V4 continue to hold its ground as the firm’s most in-demand motorcycle.

Francesco Milicia, Ducati VP Global Sales and Aftersales, expressed his satisfaction with the outstanding performance.

“This first half-year marked Ducati’s best-ever delivery record, with 34,976 bikes successfully reaching our passionate clients. This achievement demonstrates the continued appreciation for our wide-ranging product lineup.

“Although we faced supply bottlenecks last year, the intense competition in the post-Covid era, coupled with improved product availability, has motivated us to enhance customer satisfaction further. We are inspired by the trust our Ducatisti place in us,” he said.

Analyzing the market performance, Italy emerged as the leading market for Ducati, with 6,639 motorcycles delivered during the first half of 2023, representing a growth of 10 percent compared to the same period in 2022.

The United States ranked second, witnessing an 11 percent increase in sales with 4,505 bikes delivered. Germany secured the third position, experiencing an impressive 13 percent growth with 4,217 motorcycles delivered.

Ducati Easy Lift Function To Be Available On The Multistrada V4

Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati has unveiled a new standard feature, the Easy Lift Function, aimed at making it easier for riders to stand their bikes up from the kickstand.

This innovative addition is set to enhance accessibility levels and cater to a wider range of riders, particularly those who may face challenges due to the weight and seat height of the Multistrada V4.
The Easy Lift Function is designed to lower the seat height of the Multistrada V4, thereby facilitating a more comfortable riding experience for individuals with different heights and body types.

Recognizing the need for improved accessibility, Ducati is also offering additional options such as lowering kits and lowered seat alternatives at its dealerships.

The inspiration behind this feature originated from the Multistrada Rally, which presented difficulties for vertically-challenged riders due to its relatively high seat height. In response, Ducati developed a solution that leverages the hydraulics of the suspension system.

By fully opening the valves of the semi-active dampers for approximately three minutes, the function allows the bike to squat, enabling riders to easily lift the motorcycle from a stationary position. This user-friendly feature grants riders the ability to firmly plant their feet on the ground, facilitating a smooth transition to an upright position and enhancing overall stability while riding.

Building upon the success of the Minimum Preload function introduced in 2022 on the Multistrada V4 Rally, Ducati’s Easy Lift Function offers another layer of accessibility for riders. The height reduction feature was met with enthusiasm, further augmenting the already impressive array of features offered by this large tourer.

One notable aspect of the Easy Lift Function is that it does not require any additional hardware installation on the bike for 2022 V4 S models. Owners of 2022 or later Multistrada V4 S motorcycles can enjoy this feature at no additional cost by having the function loaded into their bike’s system at their Ducati dealer.

As for future Multistrada V4 models, the Easy Lift Function will come as a standard feature. Ducati will notify owners about their bike’s eligibility for the update through the MyDucati app or via email.

Ducati’s commitment to enhancing accessibility through the Easy Lift Function demonstrates its dedication to accommodating a diverse range of riders.
