It’s the pinnacle of the Multistrada V4 family, powered by the Panigale V4-derived Desmosedici Stradale engine, with a dry clutch and dedicated electronic calibrations, to offer an unprecedented riding experience. It’s a unique motorcycle in personality and substance and is without doubt the most exciting Multistrada ever created by Ducati.
