In its brochures, Ducati often speaks of "4 bikes in one motorbike", but this is a slight understatement. These 4 riding modes can be freely configured. The rider then has a little night reading in front of him in the form of the manual, but can actually adapt each mode to his preferences in terms of chassis, engine, ABS and DTC.

The Multistrada 950 S skilfully combines several Ducati models to create a superior touring enduro in the upper mid-range. The look remains almost unchanged from the big Multistrada 1260 - which of course gives it enormous prestige. The 114 hp engine comes from the Hypermotard series, and although the little Multi S has to carry 30 kilos more than the Hypermotard 950, it can still be ridden at a brisk pace. It should go without saying that comfort is a top priority on a touring enduro. Equipped with a wealth of electronics, it can do everything a modern touring bike has to do, and with the electronically adjustable Skyhook suspension, it also offers an extremely fine extra.
