The Multistrada has long been a secret weapon in Ducati's fleet.

It offers incredible, superbike-like on-road performance.

But it also packs undeniable comfort and the ability to hit the dirt.

Now, the Multistrada is getting its most substantial upgrade ever.

That upgrade comes in the form of a new V4 engine without Ducati's famous Desmo.

That V4 engine is good for 170 horsepower and the longest service intervals in the business.

The bike also has incredible technology on-board.

This includes industry-first adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring.

The Multi's semi-active electronic suspension also makes for a beautifully handling and comfortable bike.

We're also big fans of the Multi's one-hand, no-tool windscreen adjustment.
