Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak Launched in India: Price, Power, Features and More

The Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak is powered by a 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine producing 168 bhp and 123.8 Nm of torque. In comparison, the Multistrada V4 RS features a similar engine derived from the Panigale V4, delivering 212 bhp. The RS aims for a sportier riding experience with a focus on lightweight components, making it more performance-oriented than the Pikes Peak, which is designed for road performance and touring comfort.

The 2025 Multistrada V4 introduces a new Automatic Lowering Device that reduces the bike's height at low speeds, improving manageability. It also features semi-active suspension with the Skyhook DSS EVO system for enhanced ride comfort. Additionally, it includes updated riding modes, safety features such as Forward Collision Warning, and a more efficient Euro 5+ compliant engine, making it a more versatile choice for various riding conditions compared to the Pikes Peak.

The 2026 Multistrada V4 Rally boasts a larger 30-litre fuel tank for extended range, longer suspension travel for improved off-road capability, and a new automatic lowering feature for easier handling. It also includes advanced radar-based safety systems like Adaptive Cruise Control and Blind Spot Detection, enhancing safety during long rides. These features make it more suited for adventure touring compared to the road-focused Pikes Peak variant.

The Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak weighs more due to its advanced features and larger engine, while the Multistrada V2 is designed to be lighter, weighing 199 kg without fuel. The V2's lighter weight enhances agility and makes it easier to handle, especially for touring and urban riding. The V4 Pikes Peak, however, incorporates more sophisticated suspension and handling characteristics aimed at performance on the road.

The Multistrada V4 features long maintenance intervals, with major service every 60,000 km and oil changes every 15,000 km or 24 months. In contrast, the Pikes Peak variant, while also designed for longevity, emphasizes performance-oriented features that may require more frequent checks due to its advanced electronic systems. Both models are designed for durability, but the V4's intervals reflect its touring focus.
