Talking about the styling, the new range of motorcycles look absolutely striking from all four ends. At the front, both of them features a tall windscreen, split headlights with DRLs and a stylish beak. A 5-inch TFT display is there for the entry-level Multistrada V4. Meanwhile, it is the top-end V4 S model that comes with a larger 6.4-inch coloured instrument console. Also, safety aids such as traction control, cornering ABS and wheelie control are there as part of the standard equipment.

Ducati Multistrada V4 S packs some extra features as well. To name a few, it comes with a quick-shifter, cruise control and radar system for added convenience. The Italian brand will only offer a single Ducati Red shade for both adventure tourers. However, customers who wish to opt for the V4 S will get an option to choose the Aviator Grey colour scheme for Rs.20,000 extra. Also, Ducati Multimedia System (DMS) is still a standard feature across all variants.

Powering the new range is a 1158cc liquid-cooled V4 engine that churns out a massive 170HP and 125Nm of peak torque while being paired to a 6-speed gearbox. The bike manufacturer has tried to make them feature-loaded that is why both of them will sport slip and assist clutch as standard.

On the mechanical front, the Multistrada V4 comes equipped with a suspension setup by Marzocchi. However, talking about the Multistrada V4 S, it features Ducati Skyhook Suspension control with auto levelling function with the same setup.
