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.

The Africa Twin is a true Enduro with tough handling qualities. It looks robust and is well equipped for almost any application. The engine is good, but won't blow adrenaline junkies away. The wind protection is great, but too good in summer. Components and attachments are of a high standard. The overall build quality is superior and the mobile phone integration is a great solution. Even after many test rides, the switches still seem illogical and confusing. In direct comparison, it somehow floats above things. It simply drives confidently and well, but cannot shine with spectacular values.
