Ducati Multistrada V2 will make its world premiere in 2025, equipped with a new engine.

Ducati has unveiled the 2025 Multistrada V2 at the Intermot show in Cologne, which features a new engine, updated design and an 18kg weight reduction. The updated model takes design cues from the larger V4, with a sharper, shorter beak and taller windscreen. Other standout features include bold, wide LED headlights, and more streamlined and compact taillights, which add to the overall appearance. The bike comes in two models (standard V2 and S) and is available in two colors (Ducati Red and Storm Green).

While the bike will be available globally starting from January, Ducati is yet to make any announcement regarding its sales in India. Currently, the Multistrada V2 standard version is priced at 16.35 lakh rupees and the V2 S version is priced at 18.99 lakh rupees. Read on for more details.

2025 Ducati Multistrada V2: What else?

Powering the revised Multistrada V2 is Ducati’s latest V2 unit, which debuted earlier this year in the all-new Panigale V2. It is the lightest twin-cylinder engine produced by Ducati, weighing only 54.9 kg. The 890cc V2 engine produces 113.4bhp at 10,750rpm and 92Nm at 8,250rpm. The V2 engine’s variable intake valve timing allows for a wider powerband and more responsive low-end performance. Designed for low-speed operation, the Multistrada V2 features a larger flywheel and improved gear ratios, including shorter first and second gears for increased agility and smoothness. In addition to improving fuel efficiency, the longer sixth gear makes long journeys more comfortable. In addition, the new Multistrada is equipped with Ducati’s state-of-the-art Quick Shift 2.0 system, which has sensors mounted directly on the gear drum for faster and more seamless gear changes.

The engine is mounted in a newly designed aluminum monocoque frame, complemented by a modified steel trellis frame and a double-sided swingarm made of cast aluminum. The updated frame enhances cornering stability while also helping to reduce overall weight compared to its predecessor.

The new Multistrada V2 is equipped with advanced braking and suspension systems that enhance its performance and handling. Braking is handled by two 320mm front discs and a 265mm rear disc. The V2 S is the higher-end model, equipped with Ducati’s cutting-edge electronic semi-active Skyhook suspension, offering 170mm of front and rear wheel travel. In comparison, the standard V2 model comes with fully adjustable Marzocchi USD front forks and rear shock. Both models use Pirelli Scorpion Trail II tires mounted on 17-inch rear and 19-inch front wheels.

Ducati has packed the motorcycle with a wealth of features and technology. These include the Ducati Brake Light EVO, a USB port built into the dashboard, five riding modes (Sport, Touring, City, Enduro and Wet) and a new 5-inch TFT color instrument panel.

The bike’s seat features two height-adjustable settings (850mm and 830mm) to ensure the rider can place their feet safely on the ground. Ducati also offers an additional seat that can be lowered to 810mm or raised to 870mm. The V2 S model’s semi-active DSS (Ducati Skyhook Suspension) and minimum preload system allow the seat to be lowered to 790 mm.
