Ducati Multistrada V2 S 2025

The numerous changes have paid off, the Ducati Multistrada V2 S in model year 2025 is better than ever! The rough behaviour at low revs is a thing of the past and the transmission now works much better. If you are looking for the ultimate compromise between sportiness and suitability for travelling, the "small" Multistrada is a damn good choice!

well-modulated front brake

great suspension

extremely light

incredible agility

exemplary stability

very good wind protection for the head

unsightly processing details

dosage of the rear brake not perfect
