Borgo Panigale, Italy – Ducati has raised the bar yet again with the global unveiling of two extraordinary models: the Multistrada V4 RS and the Diavel V4 RS. Designed for riders who demand no compromise between performance and comfort, these motorcycles combine cutting-edge racing technology with Grand Touring versatility, redefining the experience of sport-touring and muscle cruising.
The Multistrada V4 RS is the most sporty and sophisticated Multistrada ever, produced in a numbered series and powered by the MotoGP-derived 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale engine. Featuring a dry clutch, Akrapovič exhaust, Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active suspension, radar technology with adaptive cruise control, and titanium rear subframe, it delivers 180 hp and offers unmatched performance with true long-distance comfort.



The Diavel V4 RS, meanwhile, is the most powerful and fastest-accelerating production Diavel to date, achieving 0-100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds. Its 182 hp Desmosedici Stradale engine, Öhlins suspension, carbon fibre components, titanium exhaust caps, and unique RS styling make it the ultimate muscle cruiser for riders seeking aggressive style with superbike-level thrills.





Both models are available in exclusive RS liveries and will begin arriving in European Ducati dealerships starting November 2025 (Multistrada V4 RS) and December 2025 (Diavel V4 RS), followed by global rollout in early 2026.
