New Ducati Multistrada V4 RS launched from RM286,000

KUALA LUMPUR: Ducati Malaysia has launched the new Multistrada V4 RS that elevates sport-touring excitement.

Priced at RM285,900, the new variant combines Ducati's well-known racing pedigree with comfort for long-distance rides.

At the heart of the Multistrada V4 RS is Ducati’s renowned 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale engine that produces a staggering 180hp and 118Nm of torque.

Derived from MotoGP technology and shared with the Panigale and Streetfighter models, this engine makes the V4 RS the most powerful variant in the Multistrada lineup, offering 10hp more than its predecessor.

In terms of design, the Multistrada V4 RS revolves around a white livery with red accents while the MotoGP-inspired graphics emphasise its racing roots.

Carbonfibre components like the front fender, hand guards and heat shield enhance its sleek profile while weight-saving features like the titanium subframe shed 2.5kg from the bike.

For serious riders, performance upgrades such as Marchesini forged aluminium wheels, Full Power Mode and STM EVO-SBK dry clutch provide razor-sharp precision on the road.

Ducati Malaysia chief operating officer Dennis Michael said:

“With the Multistrada V4 RS arriving just before MotoGP Sepang 2024, we are giving Malaysian riders a chance to experience unparalleled performance.”
