Ducati Multistrada V4 (2026) — from $20,995
Multistrada V4 is Ducati’s adventure-sport flagship platform — Granturismo V4 power, radar-era electronics, Italian presence.
Base V4 still serious money and capability. Tall, fast, tech-dense.
Service intervals and tire costs are grown-up; the ride is the justification.
From a Phoenix garage point of view, that matters: summer heat, monsoon oil slicks, and freeway miles on the 10/17 stack reward honest ergonomics and modern rider aids more than brochure poetry.
Who it’s for: riders wanting Ducati V4 thrill in ADV-sport clothes
Who should look elsewhere: simple/cheap daily seekers
Bottom line: Multistrada V4 — adventure-sport with Italian V4 drama
Multi V4 over a Pan America?
