The expertise is made memorable by the unmistakable sound of the Desmosedici Stradale with dry clutch and Akrapovič silencer, and by the spirited and thrilling energy supply. Sensations additionally assured by the chassis of the sportiest Multistrada within the household, because of Öhlins suspension, single-sided aluminium swingarm and cast rims.
Probably the most demanding motorcyclists will admire the technical and stylistic particulars that make it a singular motorbike in character and substance. The RS brand, which turns into an actual characterizing factor of the mannequin, was designed by the Centro Stile and is proven within the livery, on the important thing and within the dashboard graphics. The slim and streamlined tail, designed completely for this bike, helps to make it even sportier.

The Ducati Multistrada V4 RS is produced in a numbered collection. The quantity is proven on a black anodized aluminium plate, embellished with the Italian flag, utilized to the triple clamp.
Superbike engineThe Multistrada V4 RS is the one one within the household to undertake the 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale engine. To mix the smoothness and regularity typical of the Multistrada with the character and sporty traits of the Panigale and the Streetfighter, Ducati has intervened on the V4 acquiring a fluid and common energy supply curve at low revs and on the similar time, because of desmodromic distribution, thrilling close to the limiter. A character that can also be expressed because of the exhaust tone, which is deep at low ranges and exhilarating like on Superbikes throughout acceleration at excessive rpm.These goals had been achieved by adopting the air filter from the Panigale V4 R, which is extra permeable and sportier, and an exhaust system with Akrapovič silencer developed particularly for the Multistrada V4 RS.
On this configuration, Euro 5+ homologated, the Desmosedici Stradale engine develops a most energy of 180 hp, with limiter at 13,500 rpm. This worth was chosen to ensure sporting efficiency whereas sustaining the stability that has all the time distinguished the Multistrada V4 since its first model.
To profit from the efficiency of the highway Desmosedici, sportier and characterised by higher acceleration, the ultimate ratio has been shortened whereas protecting the gear ratios unchanged.
Lastly, as on the Panigale V4 SP2 and Streetfighter V4 SP2, the Multistrada V4 RS additionally encompasses a STM-EVO SBK dry clutch produced from billet aluminium, with a selected configuration of springs and slipper ramps. This element, which smooths out using throughout braking and engagement phases, additionally contributes to enriching the exhaust sound with its typical metallic timbre when the clutch is disengaged.
Among the many advantages of the dry clutch, we spotlight the opportunity of growing efficiency through the use of Ducati Corse Efficiency Powered by Shell Advance oil, the results of the collaboration between Ducati Corse and Shell in Superbike and MotoGP.
To enhance the thermal consolation of the engine, the Desmosedici Stradale has been designed to deactivate the rear financial institution when the bike is stationary, in impartial and with the engine temperature above 70°.

ElectronicsThe Multistrada V4 RS is provided with the superior and complex digital bundle of the Multistrada V4 S, which incorporates, amongst different options, normal radar expertise on each the entrance and rear, which permits the Adaptive Cruise Management (ACC) performance and Blind Spot Detection (BSD).
The digital gear of the Multistrada V4 RS, because of the data obtained from the Bosch inertial platform, is made up of 4 Energy Modes (Full, Excessive, Medium, Low), Ducati Traction Management (DTC), Ducati Wheelie Management (DWC), Engine Brake Management (EBC) and Ducati Fast Shift (DQS) Up&Down.
All these methods have been calibrated for the traits and meant use of the mannequin and built-in into 4 Using Modes, specifically Race, Sport, Touring, City.
On the V4 RS, the Full Energy Mode (related by default with the Race Using Mode, characterised by a chequered flag above the identify) is launched for the primary time within the Multistrada household; this delivers most energy in all gears, with a immediate response from the throttle. The opposite Energy Modes have been calibrated to be used on the Multistrada V4. Specifically:
Excessive (related by default with Sport Using Mode) presents most energy in 4th, fifth and sixth gear with a slight discount in torque in 1st, 2nd and third, with immediate throttle response.
Medium (related by default with Touring Using Mode) additionally presents most energy in 4th, fifth and sixth gear, with a slight discount in 1st, 2nd and third, however with a sweeter throttle response.
Low (default in City Using Mode) with energy lowered to 84 kW (114 hp) and a easy throttle response.
The Multistrada V4 RS can also be outfitted with EBC (Engine Brake Management) adjustable on three ranges, which permits the rider to customise the engine braking relying on using fashion and context.
The higher sportiness of the digital bundle of the V4 RS is highlighted by the brand new graphics of the dashboard, which presents a management panel on the primary display with performance much like the Infomode Observe of the Panigale V4 and Streetfighter V4.

Specifically, within the Touring and Sport Using Modes the calibrations of the dynamic system have been modified to enhance consolation throughout relaxed using and on the similar time help when having enjoyable on combined mountain terrain. Moreover, to enhance using dynamics even at full load, hydraulic braking has been elevated when the rider selects greater damping ranges within the varied Using Modes, within the varied Load Modes with baggage and passenger.
The braking system derives straight from that of the Panigale V4. On the entrance, the system consists of 330 mm diameter discs and Brembo Stylema monobloc calipers, much like the Multistrada V4 S, to that are added the pads of the Panigale V4. On the rear the system features a single 265 mm diameter disc on which a Brembo floating caliper works. The management, with regressive kinematics, has a smaller pumping factor, thus enhancing energy and modulation. The system is managed by the Bosch-Brembo 10.3ME Cornering ABS system.
Along with the carbon fibre and titanium parts, a small battery has been adopted to additional scale back weight. On this means, 3 kg are saved in comparison with the Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak.
The brand new V4 RS presents sportier ergonomics than the Multistrada V4, with greater and additional again footrests to extend the utmost lean angle. The handlebar, rigidly mounted to the plate to enhance the using feeling, is decrease, narrower and has a much less accentuated curvature. The brand new, softer grips have a sportier design.
