Ducati has officially launched the all-new 2025 Ducati Multistrada V2 and V2 S in India, setting a new benchmark in the premium middleweight adventure touring category. Designed for versatility and everyday adventure, the Ducati Multistrada V2 combines Ducati’s racing DNA with all-road touring capabilities. It debuts the brand’s new V2 engine in India, offering lighter weight, refined ergonomics, and improved ride comfort for both rider and passenger.
Lighter, sharper, and more dynamic
The 2025 Ducati Multistrada V2 is 18 kg lighter than its predecessor, weighing just 199 kg (V2) and 202 kg (V2 S) without fuel. Its redesigned chassis, frame, and swingarm have been developed to enhance handling and agility. The bike now features a completely new aluminium monocoque frame, a steel trellis subframe, and an aluminium swingarm—all contributing to superior stability and reduced weight.
Its sleek new design features sharper lines, a sporty stance, and compact proportions. Inspired by the Panigale and Multistrada V4, the LED headlights with DRL give it a distinctive and aggressive front profile.
Powertrain: The new Ducati V2 engine
At the heart of the Ducati Multistrada V2 lies Ducati’s new 890 cc V-twin V2 engine, featuring variable intake valve timing (IVT). The engine produces 115 hp at 10,750 rpm and 92 Nm of torque at 8,250 rpm. Designed to be compact and efficient, it weighs only 54.9 kg and complies with India’s E20 fuel standards. Valve clearance intervals are an impressive 45,000 km, underlining Ducati’s focus on reliability.
