                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Motorrad is the leading motorcycle publication in Germany. Known and respected worldwide as one of the most relevant, reliable and authoritative motorcycle motorcycle media, it is considered a reference by customers and manufacturers because of their testing protocol and “1000 points” evaluation system. Such system renders make it possible to evaluate and confront objectively any aspect of the motorcycles, guaranteeing a fair, demonstrable outcome in both single and comparative tests.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    It is all too relevant, then, that the Ducati Multistrada V4 S was declared the winner of the comparative test against the complete parterre of the adversaries in the segment, with clear areas of success against the competition, namely the engine and the safety of its chassis and electronic controls.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    What is especially relevant is that the Multistrada V4 S has been evaluated as definitely better against the second-placed rival – the BMW R 1300 GS – regarding the comfort of the seat, the ergonomics of the passenger, the aerodynamic protection, the equipment and the maintenance costs, thanks to the 60.000 km interval for valve clearance checking. And it is also worth noting that the areas in which the Multistrada was found lacking towards the respective best bikes in class are the pillion comfort and the fuel consumption – areas in which the new Multistrada V4 S MY 2025 has been substantially improve, thanks to the optimized DSS suspension, the repositioning of the side panniers system and the introduction of the Extended Deactivation strategy. Moreover, enhancements like the new, optimized chassis, the Automatic Lowering Device, the new Ducati Skyhook Suspension with Bump detection, the Ducati Brake Light Evo and the Forward Collision Warning render the new model even more effective, safe, enjoyable and comfortable.
