The Ducati Multistrada V4 2025 has landed in India with new electronics, comfort focused updates and revised pricing to make it more appealing to long distance riders. Why it matters: these changes target daily usability – low speed ease, heat management and safety – without changing the core GranTurismo V4 character.

What’s new for 2025

Ducati has tweaked the ride with updated semi-active suspension logic, fork sensor for better surface reading and auto-lowering rear shock to make slow maneuvers and stops less of a stretch. There’s also a larger rear brake disc for more feel on descents and raised swingarm pivot for better stability when rolling on the throttle. The V4 S model’s radar suite now includes Forward Collision Warning in addition to Blind Spot monitoring, making it safer on the highway.

Engine and performance

The 1,158 cc Granturismo V4 engine still puts out 170 hp (125 kW) at 10,750 rpm and 123.8 Nm of torque at 9,000 rpm. Ducati has also worked on cleaner emissions and better city traffic performance. Extended rear-cylinder deactivation reduces heat and sips less fuel at idle and low speeds which is handy in summer traffic. Service intervals are a big ownership hook: long gaps between valve checks and regular oil changes support the bike’s touring brief.

Features and rider tech

A new 6.5-inch TFT anchors the cockpit with cleaner menus and phone connectivity, while suspension settings are easier to adjust on the go. Braking logic now coordinates front and rear more predictably in mixed conditions and the chassis updates reduce rider workload over long days in the saddle.

More Than Just a Price Tag: On-Road Costs & Ownership

While the Multistrada V4’s starting ex-showroom price of ₹22.98 lakh is tempting, the real cost to you includes taxes, registration and insurance. The final on-road price can vary greatly by city. For example, the base V4 starts at approximately ₹25.00 lakh in Mumbai and ₹26.26 lakh in Bangalore. To help manage these costs, Ducati offers a new “Ducati Protect” periodic maintenance contract which provides prepaid service packages that cover scheduled maintenance for up to 4 years or 30,000 km. This is a great way to have predictable ownership costs and peace of mind.

Customize Your Adventure: Official Accessories

To turn the Multistrada V4 into the ultimate long distance machine Ducati offers a wide range of official accessories. These are designed to increase comfort and touring capability. Key options include a set of aluminum panniers which offer 76 litres of storage space and are designed in collaboration with Givi. You can also add heated grips and seats for cold weather, center stand for maintenance and various protective guards to protect your bike. These accessories allow you to customize the Multistrada V4 to your travel needs and make it a true adventure companion.

Ducati Multistrada V4 2025 price in India and variants

• V4: ₹22.98 lakh ex-showroom
• V4 S: ₹28.64 lakh ex-showroom
• For the V4 S with spoked wheels, price goes up to ₹30.18 lakh ex-showroom for Thrilling Black or Arctic White colours.
  The gap creates a clearer step-up between trims and keeps the Multistrada competitive against big ADV rivals, for riders who prioritise comfort and tech over power bumps.

Closing note

If big miles with less fatigue is the brief, the 2025 Multistrada V4 makes a strong case: smarter suspenders, more city friendly and radar backed safety – without diluting the touring first DNA.
