Ducati presents the new Multistrada V4 Rally 2026which becomes even more traveling. This new evolution is the result of years of development of the Multistrada V4 family, the model with which Ducati was the first to introduce a MotoGP-derived V4 engine with a counter-rotating crankshaft into the segment, along with radar systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control and Blind Spot Detection.
The Multistrada V4 Rally is the ideal companion for long-distance travelers, thanks to its 30-liter fuel tank, Adaptive DSS EVO suspension with greater travel, great comfort for the driver and passenger, and the ability to tackle any terrain. Even more versatile, safe and rewarding to ride: Automatic lowering device, repositioned swingarm axle higher, oversized rear disc and a state-of-the-art electronic package.
Rivals of the Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally 2026
In the section of the rivals to take into account for the new mount from the Italian brand, we can highlight four models that perfectly combine comfort, versatility or off-road abilities:
Engine of the Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally 2026
In this section, the Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally 2026 uses the already known 1,158 cc V4 Granturismo that is capable of offering us in this Rally version a maximum final power of 170 HP at 10,750 rpm and a declared torque of 123.8 Nm at 9,000 revolutions. Let us remember that the 90° V4 has 4 valves per cylinder and has, among others, a counter-rotating crankshaft, double impulse firing order, semi-dry sump and liquid cooling. In addition, it is powered by a Continental electronic injection system with elliptical throttle bodies equivalent to 46 mm and a Ride-by-Wire system.
This has a final weight of 66.7 kg, which helps keep the weight of the set in moderate figures. The Italian mechanics are combined with a complete electronic equipment that facilitates at all times the maximum use of the features it is capable of offering us. The already known Riding Modes (Sport, Touring, Urban and Enduro) are joined by other systems such as Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) or Ducati Traction Control (DTC).
Additionally, the V4 Granturismo is equipped with an expanded rear cylinder deactivation strategy, which keeps the bank of rear cylinders deactivated at standstill and at low revs, benefiting fuel consumption and emissions. Like the entire Multistrada V4 family, the Rally offers maintenance intervals every 60,000 km and an oil service every 15,000 km or 24 months.
Chassis, suspensions and braking of the Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally 2026
In the cycle part, Ducati is committed to maintaining the already known aluminum monocoque chassis that continues to preside over this section and to which the rest of the components that shape this Rally version adhere. The double-arm cast aluminum swingarm is also maintained and has semi-active suspensions where its travel has up to 200 mm on both axles.
In this version we find tubeless spoked wheels, shod with Pirelli Scorpion Trail II tires measuring 120/70 R19 at the front and 170/60 R17 at the rear, equipped as standard with a TPMS sensor that shows the tire pressure on the instrumentation. When braking we continue to have the “black leg” equipment offered by Brembo. This is made up of 2 330 mm semi-floating discs driven by Brembo Stylema 4-piston radial calipers on the front axle.
As a novelty, the braking system has been improved with a larger 280 mm rear brake disc. The entire assembly is electronically assisted by an ABS Cornering system, which allows you to take advantage of the braking power, to the maximum required demand, even in curves.
Equipment and finishes of the Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally 2026
The new Multistrada V4 Rally 2026 is even more technological and ready to take on any route. In addition, it includes distinctive elements such as a 30-liter fuel tank. Forward Collision Warning anticipates possible frontal impacts, the new Automatic Lowering Device lowers the motorcycle to facilitate contact with the ground, and the advanced strategies of the ABS Electronic Combined Braking System and the Ducati Skyhook EVO semi-active Adaptive Suspension are now even more effective to manage any situation and riding style.
Among the main characteristics that shape this new evolution of the model, within this section, we can highlight:
- New sleep mode with advanced Adaptive DSS EVO strategies.
- More protective front, with a dome that is 20 mm higher and 40 mm wider. Deflectors with modified rear edges for greater rider and passenger coverage
- Wider rider footpegs with a more pronounced profile, made of precision cast steel for off-road use and with removable rubber insert. Passenger footpegs with larger rubber insert to reduce transmitted vibrations

- Full Adventure (front/rear radar, aluminum panniers, heated seat, Akrapovič silencer, carbon fiber front fender)
In addition, Multistrada V4 Rally 2026 also has a wide range of accessories. Alongside various seats to meet the ergonomic needs of the pilot and passenger, several dome options are available, as well as luggage solutions, designed for both the fuel tank and the rear plate (a top case or a soft bag), for those wishing to further enhance the Multistrada V4 Rally’s off-road touring capabilities.
The aluminum cases, available as an Accessory and as standard in the Adventure Travel & Radar and Full Adventure versions, now have a new lock that allows the cases to be opened and closed without using the key, even when they are removed from the motorcycle, which increases their practicality and versatility.
Ducati has also specifically designed some clothing items to fully enjoy the touring capabilities of the 2026 Multistrada V4 Rally. The Tour Summer set, for example, features large ventilation areas, removable sleeves and three independent layers, including a thermal lining and a waterproof membrane, to ensure comfort in any weather condition.
The Strada C5 set, made with a comfortable and resistant stretch fabric, with modular thermal protection thanks to the removable Gore-Tex inner membrane and an inner down jacket that can also be used separately once the motorcycle is parked.
