Additionally, there’s an ‘easy lift’ system, which opens up the damping when the bike is switched on, making it easier to lift off the side stand because the suspension is soft. There is also Ducati’s Minimum Preload system, which electronically removes spring pre-load, therefore reducing seat height, when you come to stop (and is controlled by the rider, as not all riders have a 5ft 7in height issue like me). Before anyone starts worrying about the effect on seat height, Ducati has a range of options for all sizes. To make the V4 Multi more capable off-road, Ducati has redesigned its extremely clever semi-active Skyhook EVO DDS suspension and added 30mm of stroke to the front forks and 20mm to the rear shock, giving 200mm of travel at both ends and increasing ground clearance by 15mm to 235mm. The alloy front frame is the same as the standard bike’s, but that is really where the similarities end – and where the Rally begins to move the game forward.Įnjoy everything More Bikes by reading monthly newspaper, Read FREE Online. However, they have added the heat-reducing rear cylinder deactivation system seen recently on the new Diavel V4 that cuts the rear pair of cylinders when the bike is stationary or running below 4000rpm (depending on torque request from the rider). Ducati has kept the power and torque output of the Rally’s Granturismo engine identical to the more road-focused V4 and V4S Multistradas, with peaks of 170hp 10,700rpm and 89lb-ft of torque 8765rpm. Yes, the Rally will set you back £23,590 but owners will be buying a rather remarkable and clever motorcycle, one that would certainly make me smile every time I open the garage door. Quite a moment in the story of the adventure bike. And anyone who’s piloted a Multistrada V4 over a decent variety of roads will testify that this is quite a statement. The fact is, Ducati’s all-new Multistrada V4 Rally is as equally capable off-road as it is on-road. Adam ‘Chad’ Child gets to grips with the big adventure bike… ![]()
