Legendary Italian bikemaker Ducati has unveiled its most powerful ADV to date, the Multistrada V4 RS.

Design
The Multistrada V4 RS retains the overall silhouette of the standard model. To keep the weight in check on the track-focused bike, it has several carbon fiber components and 17-inch forged wheels.

Performance
The Multistrada V4 RS is fueled by the same 1,103cc "Desmosedici Stradale" V4 engine from its siblings, the Panigale V4 and Streetfighter V4. The potent liquid-cooled mill develops 180hp/118Nm.

Safety
The superbike-derived Brembo Stylema braking setup on the Multistrada V4 RS allows it to drop anchors on point. The suspension duties are taken care of by a fully adjustable setup from Ohlins.
5
Expectation
Unlike the adventure-touring V4 Rally variant, this new model is designed to tackle the race tracks. We expect the Multistrada V4 RS to carry a premium over the current range-topping Rally variant.
