The updated Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally boasts a range of enhancements to substantiate its off-road capabilities. These include a larger 30-liter fuel tank, which extends the distance between refueling stops. Additionally, the Italian adventure motorcycle features a reconfigured windscreen, now 40 mm taller and 20 mm wider.

Furthermore, Ducati has repositioned the luggage mounting points towards the rear, contributing to enhanced pillion legroom. In the case of the 2024 Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally, there is an added advantage in the form of cylinder deactivation technology. This technology now allows the activation and deactivation of the rear cylinder while the motorcycle is in motion, as opposed to its previous function, which only activated when the bike was stationary.

This technological enhancement serves to enhance both fuel efficiency and heat management on this adventure motorcycle. Additionally, the upgraded Multi V4 Rally now features extended suspension travel, measuring 200 mm at both the front and rear, an increase from the 170 mm (front) and 180 mm (rear) on the Multistrada V4 S. It comes equipped with a more substantial sump guard for enhanced underbelly protection, and Ducati provides various seat and suspension choices to modify the ride height, ranging from 805 mm to a lofty 905 mm.
