It was just last week that Ducati India had opened its order books for the Multistrada V4. The company had started accepting pre-bookings for its flagship adventure motorcycle for a token amount of INR 1 lakh. This was a clear indication that the launch of the V4-powered Multistrada is just around the corner. And now, Ducati India has finally revealed the official date.
Powering the Ducati Multistrada V4 is a 1158cc engine that’s called the V4 Granturismo. It is capable of producing 170 hp at 10,500 rpm and 125 Nm at 8750 rpm. It is quite impressive how Ducati has managed to keep the overall weight of the engine at just 66.7 kg. The company claims that on the new Multistrada V4, the oil change is scheduled every 15,000 km, while the valve clearance check and eventual adjustment is required every 60,000 km. No bike in production goes that far.
