The 2025 Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak has already entered the Indian market establishing a new mark in the sport based adventure motorcycles with price of 36.17 lakh (ex-showroom). It is an ultimate machine that brings the famous Multistrada family of Ducati to exciting new levels, incorporating MotoGP-based technology, sharpness, and a full range of electronics that excite both the biking field and the long-range touring scenarios.
Touring Soul Race-Bred Performance.
The Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak is powered by a very violent 1,158cc V4 Granturismo which produces a strong 170 horsepower at 10,750 rpm and a maximum torque of 123 Nm at 9,000 rpm. It is the same heart that is used in the superbikes of Ducati, but it is here that it is tuned to the optimum combination of violent power application and long-range touring. The crankshaft is ingeniously counter-rotating, which reduces the gyroscopic inertia making even the heavy adventure bike remarkably light and agile.
One of the best features of this engine is the greatly developed extended rear-cylinder deactivation system that improves fuel economy and engine temperatures during slow-speed riding which is a major advancement to the rider who spends a lot of time on the road.
Cutting-edge Suspension with Precision Handling.
In contrast to the conventional adventure models, the Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak has a modified chassis geometry, which is aimed at a high degree of on-road sharpness. It has a 17 inch forged aluminum front wheel to give it agile cornering, an adjustable steering head angle of 25.75 degrees and raised single sided swingarm pivot to enhance antibandsquat and enhance stability during acceleration.
The Ohlins Smart EC 2.0 electronic suspension of the bike offers the electronic compression and rebound damping adjustment with event based logic which adjusts in real time in accordance with the terrain conditions and rider dynamics. This state of the art suspension system is identical technology that the Ducati Panigale V4 S superbike uses and it has the same level of control and comfort on the twisty mountain roads or even on long highways.
Extensive Electronic and Safety Features.
Ducati has fitted the Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak with a huge electronic package based on the Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO) system that uses information collected by 70 sensors to tailor ABS, wheelie control and traction control to unprecedented accuracy. There is also the safety package comprising both front and back radar systems that allow Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, and Blind Spots Detection-functionality that very few motorcycles have, and this increases the safety of the riders to unprecedented levels.
The motorcycle has complete LED lighting, Ducati Cornering Lights to enhance visibility even around the corners and Brembo Stylema monobloc brake calipers on two 330mm front discs to provide race-quality stopping power. The high performance is completed with the lightweight Marchesini shod in Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tires.
Rider Comfort and Ergonomics.
The ergonomics of the Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak have been changed to a sporty comfortable riding position. The footpegs are further back and higher to encourage aggressive cornering, the handlebars smaller and lower to encourage control at higher speeds. The height of the seat is adjustable to suit the various riders and enhance the confidence of the pilot.
Racing DNA and Premium Finishes.
The Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak boasts of race-inspired livery including carbon fiber body parts, and the inclusion of a light weight Akrapovic titanium muffler which gives it a thrilling exhaust note similar to the Ducati racing heritage. The single-sided swingarm is not only much better in handling dynamics, but a unique, aggressive appearance as well, giving the motorcycle its unique profile.
Final Thoughts
Not any adventure bike, but the 2025 Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak is a highly-tuned combination of MotoGP technology, race-spec parts, and touring comforts. Its price of Rs 36.17 lakh makes it attractive as it entices riders who would want to enjoy uncompromising sports performance with state of the art electronics and safety support when undertaking long distance adventures. It is a motorbike that will thrill and make one feel inspired and it will be the new standard of sport-touring motorcycles in India, and the world.
