Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak 2024

Are you looking for a long-distance adventure bike with that certain extra sportiness? Then the Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak is just right for you! Slightly sportier ergonomics than its sisters, a chic single swing arm at the rear, some war paint with Pecco Bagnaia's number 1 and, above all, the smaller 17 inch tyres and the electronic Öhlins suspension ensure great handling. Nothing had to be changed to the charismatic 170 Horsepower V4 and the formidable Brembo Stylema stoppers - sporty enough for bold attacks on country roads and race tracks, suitable for everyday use on typical adventure bike tours. In other words, a perfect love affair, which is only spoilt by the high price or, unfortunately, probably prevented in most cases.
