Ducati has officially pulled the wraps off the 2026 Multistrada V4 Rally, the latest evolution of its go-anywhere flagship adventure bike — and it’s more globetrotting than ever. Unveiled as part of the Ducati World Premiere 2026, the new Rally combines grand-touring luxury with rugged off-road credentials, all wrapped in that unmistakable Italian style.
For 2026, the Multistrada V4 Rally takes everything Ducati has learned from years of V4 development and dials it up further. It continues to be powered by the 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine, churning out 170 hp and 121 Nm, but now benefits from the new Ducati Quick Shift 2.0, smoother torque delivery, and improved efficiency thanks to an extended rear-cylinder deactivation system.
On the chassis front, Ducati has gone all-in with upgrades — a new Adaptive Skyhook DSS EVO suspension setup with 200mm travel that now reads the terrain and adjusts damping in real-time using MotoGP-derived algorithms. The addition of Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO) tech refines ABS Cornering and Wheelie Control for razor-sharp handling, while a new braking system with front-to-rear and rear-to-front strategies ensures stability even under full load.
For the long-haul explorer, Ducati has amped up comfort and safety. The Automatic Lowering Device drops the seat height below 10 km/h for easier maneuvering, while a Forward Collision Warning joins the radar-based Adaptive Cruise Control and Blind Spot Detection suite. A brighter headlamp cluster, Cornering Lights, and the new Coming Home function add night-time convenience.
Ergonomics have been fine-tuned with a wider windscreen, new pannier mounts, heated grips, and multiple seat height options — ensuring comfort for both rider and pillion. The 30-litre tank means serious range between stops, and with maintenance intervals stretched to 60,000 km, this Ducati is built to roam.
Available in striking Jade Green with gold wheels or Ducati Red with brushed aluminium accents, the Multistrada V4 Rally can be had in three trims — Radar, Adventure Travel & Radar, and Full Adventure (which adds a carbon fender and Akrapovic exhaust).
Deliveries kick off in Europe by November 2025, with other global markets, including the UAE, following soon after.
