Famous producer unveils revamped 2025 classic motorcycle: Improved safety and performance

You will recognize the "new" Multistrada primarily by its redesigned front, which has retained its aggressive presence but gained wider, differently contoured fairings designed to better protect the rider and passenger from wind and rain.

The lights are also new, with the rear light featuring an interesting function called Ducati Brake Light Evo, which causes the light to flash at speeds below 10 mph. According to Ducati, this will improve safety at low speeds and make the motorcycle more visible to other road users.

Italian engineers have also worked on the mechanics. The suspension is supposed to be more resistant to sagging even under full load, and the wheels, which are 4 lbs lighter, reduce unsprung weight. They are also forged.

Ducati also boasts an updated cylinder deactivation system, which can now deactivate not only at idle but also during gentle riding, contributing to lower fuel consumption.

The DSS Evo semi-active suspension control system should also work better. It should respond faster to bumps, and thanks to the new WET riding mode, handling on wet surfaces will improve. Additionally, in the Pikes Peak edition, we get a sportier riding position, Öhlins suspension, a Racing mode, a single-sided swingarm, and a 17-inch front wheel.

The refreshed Multistrada V4 family should hit showrooms in October 2024. At that time, we will learn the full specifications and prices.
