New Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally India Launch Expected In 2026: In Pics

Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally New Model: Ducati unveiled its updated version of the Multistrada V4 Rally, a long-distance adventure tourer, at its Ducati World Premiere 2026. The 2026 V4 Rally received an upgraded rear cylinder deactivation system and an electronic suite, both derived from the new Multistrada V4 S, while offering 200mm suspension travel at both ends.

The same 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine delivering 168bhp at 10,750rpm and 121Nm at 8,750rpm continues; however, the V4 Rally now features an extended cylinder deactivation system, which turns off the rear cylinders when the bike is stationary, thereby reducing fuel consumption and emissions by 6 per cent (claimed). 

Ducati has also upgraded the electronics, reinforcing the rider's safety. The extensive list of electronic aids includes radar-based adaptive cruise control and blind spot detection, as well as Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Ducati Quick Shift 2.0, Ducati Cornering Lights, and Ducati Brake Light. The ADV also gets the company's Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO), which collects data from 70 sensors to adjust ABS Cornering and Ducati Wheelie Control.

Suspension duties are performed by semi-active Marzocchi Ducati Skyhook Suspension EVO (DSS EVO) units, allowing riders to adjust damping on the fly. Compared to the V4 S' 170mm wheel travel at the front and 180mm at the rear, the V4 Rally offers 200mm of suspension travel at both ends. Stopping power now comes from twin 330mm front discs and a larger 280mm rear disc. 

Instrumentation-wise, a 6.5-inch TFT with smartphone connectivity is offered. The upgraded tourer also features a taller windscreen, a revised centre stand, repositioned pannier mounts, an Akrapovic exhaust, and an automatic seat lowering device.
