Ducati has redesigned the Multistrada to make the “Rally”, a premium adventure bike to travel faster, further… and more comfortably to the world's end, even off-road and with a passenger. We got ride it off-road in Sardinia, Italy and it suprised us.
The first air-cooled Multistrada 1000 DS hit the market in 2003 with a 17-inch front wheel and represented a concept of its own that did not want to be an all-terrain tourer but a sporty bike with a more comfortable riding position. Under the codename “Cayenne”, Ducati developed the second generation with the watercooled, twin-cylinder for 2010, in 2015 they launched the 1200 DVT with the Testastretta engine and finally in 2021 the fourth stage V 4 Granturismo was presented. With the Rally, Ducati goes one step further and squeezes almost everything technically feasible into the Multistrada to establish it as a luxury adventure bike that can comfortably take two people almost anywhere off-road.
