Ducati Multistrada V2 S 2024

Ducati Multistrada V2 S 2024

The Ducati Multistrada V2 S impresses with its sporty DNA, state-of-the-art technology and agile riding performance. It is the first choice for dynamic riders who value performance and precision when travelling. Despite its lower weight, it impresses with its high stability and comprehensive electronics package. Minor weaknesses such as the limited comfort at lower speeds or the somewhat clunky quickshifter in tight hairpins hardly spoil the positive overall picture.

Versatile, semi-active suspension

well-modulated brakes

sporty yet comfortable riding position

well suited for smaller riders

extensive standard equipment comfortable for pillion riders

sporty, revvy engine with typical Ducati character

light weight of only 225 kg - ideal for sporty handling

extensive electronics package including cornering ABS, traction control and quickshifter

narrow waist, optimum ergonomics for smaller riders

Torque somewhat restrained at low revs

quickshifter not always liquid at low speeds

seat comfort on long lengths less pronounced than on touring-orientated competitors

BMW R 1200 GS 2009

Either it was a stroke of luck or the best developers were at work - handlebars, geometry, seat, knee angle, footrests - it just fits really well for the majority of Central Europeans. All in all, there is still no motorbike that can kill the GS.

Optimal wind protection

comfortable seat

good posture

positive ergonomics

weather robust

quiet chassis.

Seat a little too low.
