What’s new for 2025

Ducati’s new-generation 890 cc V2 platform debuts in India with more power, less weight, and revised ergonomics aimed at long-distance comfort. The chassis uses an aluminium monocoque with a steel trellis subframe and cast aluminium swingarm for improved mass centralisation and stability.

Powertrain and performance

The 890 cc twin delivers 115 hp at 10,750 rpm and 92 Nm at 8,250 rpm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox; Ducati Quick Shift 2.0 is available on higher trims. Compliance with India’s E20 norms and refined fueling target smoother response and lower running effort across riding modes.

Chassis, suspension, and brakes

A lighter, re-engineered frame and subframe contribute to a kerb-down running weight of 199 kg (without fuel), improving agility at low speeds and stability when loaded. The V2 S adds DSS Skyhook with electronic control, designed to reduce dive and squat, plus Minimum Preload to quickly lower the rear for easier footing.

Rider aids and electronics

Riders get Cornering ABS, Ducati Traction Control, Ducati Wheelie Control, Engine Brake Control, cruise control, USB charging, and a 5-inch TFT with updated switchgear. Five riding modes—Sport, Touring, Urban, Enduro, and Wet—tailor engine response and safety maps for mixed conditions.

Ergonomics and comfort

Ducati has lowered and narrowed the seat while improving padding and legroom to balance reach and long-haul comfort. Luggage mounting points have been set slightly rearward to enhance space and stability with panniers and a top box.

Variants and colours

• Multistrada V2: Ducati Red, ₹18,88,000.
• Multistrada V2 S: Ducati Red, ₹20,99,800; Storm Green, ₹21,29,700.

Market context

With pricing from ₹18.88 lakh, Ducati targets the premium middleweight adventure-touring segment where tech, weight savings, and everyday usability drive purchase decisions. The 18 kg weight reduction and expanded electronics suite position the V2 as a friendly yet capable alternative to larger multi-cylinder ADVs.

Expert view

Early ride reports for the MY25 platform highlight a more measured low-end, stronger midrange, and better-managed weight, supporting long-distance riders who value control over outright heft. The DSS Skyhook package on the V2 S continues to be a differentiator for mixed-surface touring without heavy manual setup.

Competitive snapshot

In the Indian premium middleweight ADV class, the Multistrada V2’s lighter chassis, full safety suite, and high-spec semi-active suspension on the S trim undercut the complexity of litre-class ADVs while preserving Ducati’s sporty character. Price-wise, the V2 S’s equipment aligns with expectations for semi-active hardware and comprehensive rider aids at the segment’s upper band.
