The bike's electronics, guided by the Bosch inertial platform, offer four Power Modes—Full, High, Medium, and Low—along with Ducati Traction Control (DTC), Wheelie Control (DWC), Engine Brake Control (EBC), and Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) for seamless gear changes. These systems are precisely calibrated for the bike's performance characteristics and are integrated into four Riding Modes: Race, Sport, Touring, and Urban, ensuring a tailored experience for every type of ride.
Commenting on the launch, Bipul Chandra, Managing Director, Ducati India, said, “The Multistrada V4 RS is born when Superbike meets touring. It’s the pinnacle of the Multistrada V4 family, powered by the Panigale V4-derived Desmosedici Stradale engine, with a dry clutch and dedicated electronic calibrations, to offer an unprecedented riding experience. It’s a unique motorcycle in personality and substance and is without doubt the most exciting Multistrada ever created by Ducati. I am personally thrilled for all future Ducatisti who will be lucky enough to add this motorcycle to their garage and proud to introduce such a special motorcycle to the Indian audience.”
