Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally 2023

That the Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally generally prefers the road to tough off-road terrain was already clear from the outset when we looked at the data sheet. That it nevertheless doesn't shy away from any adventure was also clear. But all the test riders were surprised and impressed by how confidently it copes with demanding passages. Despite 19-inch wheels and a lot of mass, it can do more than just gravel roads. Above all, the good electronics and the finely controllable engine make it manageable off-road. The natural limits of the off-road rumbler only become noticeable at high speeds due to the sagging suspension elements or in very rough trial passages due to the dwindling stability of the front wheel. If you can't forgive a touring enduro of this dimension, you're looking in the wrong segment.

Very potent, yet finely controllable V4 engine

Surprisingly easy to handle for the high weight

Powerful, yet sensitive brakes

Very responsive semi-active chassis

Extensive electronics package

Good ergonomics, even in standing off-road use

Cruise control with radar system

Good wind protection

Chassis could do with more rebound in rough, undulating terrain

High price

Above-average fuel consumption
