Design & Features

In terms of design, the new Ducati Multistrada 950 S gets proper adventure tourer styling. The front profile of the motorcycle features twin LED headlamps with DRLs, a tall wind visor, a wide handlebar and simple wing mirrors. This way, the front end of Multistrada 950 S resembles the face of an Eagle bird.

Other features such as cruise control, knuckle guards and Ducati multimedia system are available as standard on the S variant. Interestingly, the adventure tourer bike was already available with the Ducati Red colour scheme. However, the recent introduction of the GP White livery gives it an upmarket look.

Electronic aids

Talking in number, it is truly capable of churning out a massive 113HP @ 9000 RPM and 96Nm of peak torque @ 7750 RPM. Currently, it comes paired to a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch and bi-directional quickshifter as standard.
