Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour

Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour: A Dedicated Touring Specification

The Grand Tour isn’t just a basic Travel & Radar bolted full of extra accessories. It’s a purpose-built touring variant loaded with equipment and unique touches you won’t find on any other Multistrada V4 S. Ducati first rolled out this package in 2024, took a breather through 2025 et 2026, and then revived it for 2027—bringing along a lower price alongside the same complete list of standard hardware.

You’ll spot it right away thanks to its dedicated red and black livery, complete with matching graphics on the side cases and darkened black finishes for the frame, swingarm, handlebars, and triple clamps. It delivers a seamless, factory-crafted look that openly shouts its long-distance DNA while holding onto that sharp, mean posture every Multistrada owner expects.

The Grand Tour Equipment Package: Everything Included

Ducati crammed this setup with gear explicitly tailored for long-distance comfort, safety, and convenience. Here is what comes mounted directly from the line:

That Automatic Lowering Device changes the game when touring. It gives you instant footing and extra control during tight maneuvers or red-light stops, particularly when hauling a passenger plus two fully packed panniers.

The V4 Granturismo and Skyhook Suspension: Proven Foundations

Strip away the touring hardware and you find the exact same full V4 S mechanical and electronic package underneath:

• 1,158 cc V4 Granturismo churning out 170 hp at 10,750 rpm avec 123.8 Nm (91 lb-ft) at 9,000 rpm.

• Extended Cylinder Deactivation, shutting down the rear bank during slow crawls to trim fuel burn and tailpipe emissions by as much as six percent versus older engine designs.

• Suspension semi-active Ducati Skyhook with self-adjusting Auto-levelling, preserving poise and ride quality no matter how heavily you load it.

• ABS en virage, Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC), and the complete Observateur de véhicule Ducati (DVO) electronic safety net.

• Cadre monocoque en aluminium housing a Réservoir de carburant de 22 litres built for serious, uninterrupted mileage between gas stops.

• 60,000 km valve-clearance inspection intervals et 15,000 km oil service intervals, backed by Ducati’s 4-year unlimited-mileage warranty in designated markets.

Model Years and Availability

The Grand Tour follows a quirky, spotty production run across the calendar:

Colors Available

Ducati offers the Grand Tour in a single dedicated livery: bold red and black, tied together with matching graphics on the side cases and understated black finishes on the frame, swingarm, handlebars, and triple clamps. Forget swapping custom paint shades—unlike the standard V4 S or Travel & Radar, this trim does not offer optional body colors. Its appearance remains fixed and purposeful, telegraphing its distance-touring identity straight away.
