As an addition to its portfolio of adventure touring bikes in India, Italian automaker Ducati is planning to launch the 2021 Multistrada V4 in the country toward the end of June or early July. To recall, the vehicle was unveiled in November last year and it comes in three variants: standard V4, V4 S, and V4 S Sport. Here's our roundup.
It sports a digital instrument console

It also houses a digital instrument console, an all-LED lighting setup, and rides on 19-inch front wheels and 17-inch rear wheels. The two-wheeler has a kerb weight of 215kg and a fuel capacity of 22-liter.
The bike runs on a 168hp, V4 Granturismo engine
