Ducati’s new Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak arrives with a 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine. The engine pushes out 170hp at 10,750rpm and 124Nm of torque at 9,000rpm. That's a jump from the 130hp on the previous V4 variants. For buyers who crave power on long rides, it's a straight‑forward upgrade.
The bike doesn’t just roar; it also looks like it’s from the track. A fresh livery echoes the colors of the Desmosedici GP and Panigale V4 R, while carbon‑fibre panels and a titanium Akrapovič silencer keep weight down. Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 semi‑active suspension gives 170mm of travel on both ends, smoothing out uneven roads. Brembo Stylema radial calipers and a 330mm front disc set the brakes apart. All of that means riders get a race‑tuned ride without compromising street legality.
The launch is slated for 2027, with India among the first markets. Exact pricing hasn’t been disclosed yet, but the premium components suggest a price tag that will sit between the 2025 V4 and the newer V4 variants. Prospective buyers should keep an eye on dealer announcements and look for test‑ride opportunities once the bike rolls out.
In the high‑power adventure segment, the V4 Pikes Peak will go toe‑to‑toe with the KTM 1290 Super Adventure’s 180hp and the BMW F 850 GS’s 115hp. Ducati’s 170hp sits comfortably in between, offering a balance of torque and responsiveness. For those who want a bike that can handle both off‑road excursions and spirited highway runs, the V4 Pikes Peak is a compelling option. The real test will be how the model performs in Indian conditions, where road roughness and traffic demand durability.
