Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally Review. Is It Road Worthy?

- The Multistrada V4 Rally is the ideal travel companion in all conditions, as easy and intuitive in the urban jungle as it is on the most daring off-road routes. High-performance, robust, and reliable, thanks to the V4 Granturismo and extended service intervals, it will carry you wherever your adventurous heart desires.
Designed for long-distance riding on any terrain, rider and passenger can enjoy heightened comfort and greater range, which makes the new Multistrada V4 Rally ideal for those seeking an ‘all-round’ bike.
Multistrada V4 Rally is powered by the V4 Granturismo, a light, compact, and powerful engine designed to travel long distances with its 60,000 km service interval.
Front and rear radar with Adaptive Cruise Control and Blind Spot Detection, as well as dedicated riding modes with the new Off-Road Power Mode that limits power to 115 hp.
The new 30-litre tank ensures greater range and has led to a full redesign of the bike’s front end, the ‘shoulders’ even more powerful but no higher, despite improved comfort and ergonomics.
Passenger and rider comfort improved thanks to new deflectors that limit turbulence and reduce airflow in cold weather. The extended tail section and recessed luggage rack increase roominess.
New Skyhook DSS EVO suspension with travel increased to 200 mm, Auto-Levelling, Minimum Preload, and the suspension lowering kit.
New rear bank deactivation strategy even on the move. A unique technological innovation designed for travelers: increased autonomy and improved thermal comfort. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
What is your favorite Ducati Multistrada?
The original one
Yo tengo la pikes pead, tuve la v4s y he probado durante todo un día la rally, a mi pikes pead le puse unas alzas de manillar de 2 centímetros ya que me resultaba una postura un poco agresiva y ha ganado en comodidad muchísimo sin verse mermada la capacidad de manejo. Pues bien con esa modificación en el manillar la pikes pead es mi favorita de los tres modelos, la agilidad, la manejabilidad y su conducción en general esta por encima se los otros dos modelos. Aunque hay que hilar muy fino para ver diferencias sustanciales entre la tres. Son unas maquinas perfectas en todos los sentidos. He tenido 40 motos de todo tipo y no cambiaria la multistrada v4 por ninguna, es LA MOTO
Estoy de acuerdo, la Multistrada V4 es la mejor motocicleta. Ahora tengo subtítulos en español. Hay un retraso antes de que podamos hacerlo, por lo que publicaré el video solo en inglés.@@Popotin1233
V4 Rally 😍
Mine - V4S 😊
Having said that, I am looking forward to riding your current model the PP 😊
Cheers
Ive just ordered one, currently on a gen 1 xr1000 with 840 seat, these are 870 and i got use to demo very quickly especially using the drop suspension setting, getting back on the xr after demo , actually felt very similar even though seat is bit lower plus lighter, have a good day everyone, great video 😊
Hey Rembo. Keep up the great videos. Love them.
I’ve narrowed my next bike to the Multi Strata V4 and V4 Diavel. I’m leaning towards the Multi because of all the technology it has. Thank you a great review.
Glad you like them!
Hi Rembo, greetings from Norway and congratulations with your Multistrada rally, a copy of mine. Your feedback on the Rally was as I should have said it myself. Compared to the V4S it is, well not a world of, but truly a signifikant change to the better. Enjoy your rides, you will find the delicate small changes every time you take it for a spin.
Thanks for sharing. I appreciate the feedback.
Currently have over 12000 miles on the V4S and love it more than the kids (lol), the Rally probably suites my needs more as a 2up tourer but I would love the Pikes Peak...if only I could afford one of each...Great review as always Rembo.
Thanks for sharing!
I don't ride offroad but I can't understand why anyone who actually goes offroad would buy a bike with a chain drive. It makes no sense to me. If you're getting a bike that's going to get muddy and dusty all the time, why would you want to mess around with a chain? Triumph put a shaft drive on the 1200 Tiger and I think that was a killer move in terms of actually holding a candle to the GS offroad. I know this bike is very capable offroad, but I'm talking real world use and not press reviews and corporate b-roll where maintenance doesn't exist. Great review as always.
Every single dirt bike on the market has a chain, you just need to clean it once in a while.
@@zemanbuck Fair point but dirt pikes also are not $30K. Dirt bikes are built to a price point. A Multistrada is not even remotely an affordable bike and I agree is not really the best bike for offloading anyway. The true use case for this bike, much like the GS, is long touring in mixed conditions. Both the Tiger and GS have maintenance free shaft drives. It's not absurd to think a $30K touring bike should give you one less thing to worry about, especially since the competition does just that.
I own an older GS, 2004 R1150GS that’s a gem with only 22K miles on it. I bought it new in ‘04. I’ve ridden it in some dirt roads, etc… nothing too hard core. I’ve aLos ridden Honda XR’s in the woods for 40 years. In ‘14 I bought a KTM500EXC and it was at that point I realized the GS would never go off road ever again. I out road tires on the GS. The KTM can do a 70 mph wheelie where the GS is hard to just ride at 25 mph. I laugh when I read about “off road” on big adventure bikes, kind of like off roading in a $150K Range Rover. You can, but let’s be real.
Forget the offroad part...just having a shaft drive is so much better than a chain. I had GS's for 15 years, but in 2020 I got the Multistrada 1260 Enduro first before swapping it out for the V4S 6 months ago. I love the V4S...but would rather have the larger tank, upgraded suspension and few other amenities the Rally has. However...my next bike will probably be the next gen of the BMW GSA because it has a shaft drive.
Awesome, Rembo! This is the bike I want for touring North America.
It is an awesome motorcycle.
Great video as always devil dog! You really have me thinking to dump my Multi V2 for this.
Go for it!
The one I bought - the Pikes Peak. Having said that, I wouldn’t say no if someone offered me the Rally.
18:46 The V4S is my first ever 2 wheeled motorcycle, only motorcycle experience I had before riding it from the dealership was the MSF course. This bike is an okay beginner bike if the rider is tall and puts crash bars on it ASAP.
Hi Rembo, thanks for the review. Would you mind making a video on adjusting the rear brake on your Pikes Peak? Im sure its the same on all the V4's, but I cant figure it out.
I will look into it.
Rode one today. I reckon its a lot better
Hey Rembo love your videos ! quick question, did you kept the bike? any problems with oil leaks or any other we should be aware? just order this model and getting worried about all the leaks" and software on the previews models , hope you can read this ! thanks in advance!
I was just test riding the Rally. Still have my Pikes Peak.
Hey Rembo, great video! How tall are you? I’m 6’1” and my pike peak feels pretty tall but I’m flat footed at stops.
5'11" with 32" inseam.
Sweet!
Oh yeah!
i have that bike. It’s an awesome bike but I have two complaints about her.
1- sometimes I feel that 6 gearshift are not enough. On the highway frequently on feel that I need a 7 gear
2- it’s so expensive bike and amazing that the bike doesn’t have androi auto or Apple car play.
3- suspension it’s more soft than my regular v4 S and i don’t like to much.
what about the new GS1300 lots of great reviews, and no chain. maybe you can take one out? would like to hear your thoughts
I would love to get my hands on one
@RemboUSMC
Been waiting for this review. Looking forward to more.
Specially some comparison to pikes peak. Speaking of which,
how does it compare pikes peak in terms of sportiness?
Nothing compares to the Pikes Peak in the realm of sportiness.
@@RemboUSMC huh....ok.
Hey Rembo love your videos. I want to buy a Ducati for my birthday in November. Been riding for two years now. Have a 2021 Pan America Special.
I want a Ducati sport bike. What’s your recommendation?
Loaded question. Budget, use? Panigale V2 or Streetfighter V2 come to mind
@@RemboUSMC $18-24k. Commute to school and work. Also just love to ride
@@RemboUSMC Thank you.
Yep, either of those two choices. Don't waste your money on a v4.
@@jhonnydumeny9816
Hi Rembo, how are you doing?
Did your already place an order for the new MS V4 RS?
Cheers from Spain.
All the best.
Not yet! Probably won’t
@@RemboUSMC Why, don't you like the bike? too expensive? (I read something about 41.000 euro, crazy)
I can't afford it and don't see the benefit over the Pikes Peak@@pedropons9349
@@RemboUSMC Apart from the price, maybe you're right, no sense so much power in this type of bike...
Cheers. P.
Have you ever looked at your dash during this ride? :)
Or is it the normal way to use your high beam in th US? ;)
I always have my high beams on during the day. Always. I've been hit twice just sitting at intersections, both times from the front so i want to be visible. No complaints, it is sunny out and it does not affect anyone. There is no reason not to have them on and be more visible to other drivers.
@@RemboUSMC ohh, this is interesting.
In Europe cars are blinking at us when we leave it on.
I come from BMW S 1000 XR and Ducati Streetfighter V4S, i want buy Multistrada V4 Rally or PP wich one its better doit all bike?
V4S is best all around. Rally if you tour a lot.
@RemboUSMC what are the main reason to choose the V4S instead PP or Rally?, dont you think the Rally its the best all Around bike ever made?
all I can say is... woooh and I'm jealous
Where in the menu do you find engine braking level
In the basic settings for ride modes
I recently sold my BMW R1250GS and I am in the market for the Rally 😍
Great news. Let us know how you like it.
That's perfect. I'm trying to decide between those two models. What most of the comments here don't cover are the motor improvements of the rally. There is, afaik, more than just a cylinder deactivation during the ride. Ducati changed a few things in the engine so the mentioned mileage is ticked.
I by myself come from Panigale 1299s, V4s, Streetfighter V4s, Aprilia RSV4, etc. But I'd like to take my wife with me. 95% street. 5% gravel. Since I like the PP more when I look at it, the question is: Is it capable to ride some of those roads? Or maybe a little beach driving (in Denmark it is allowed to drive onto the beach)?
@RemboUSMC
I would definitely lower my tire pressure if I was going to ride that on the beach
so witch one feels better, Pikes Peak or Rally ?
Pikes Peak for spirited riding. Rally for long distances
Just purchase one, thanks for the input1@@RemboUSMC
Is The low kit available?
I am not aware of a low kit, just a low seat
@@RemboUSMC Tnks!
This year bought my DM. I had to decide between the v4s or the Rally. I decided for the Multistrada V4S because of the weight. The Rally was offered with regular Cases but with the aluminum Cases it’s more heavy and you have to keep the metal harness on it it looks ugly. Been on a tour in France and the decision was right. It was fun the gas mileage not a problem. No cases on it left them in the hotel. But with cases even the plastic ones fun but less and more weight. Full loaded wet Rally with Aluminum Cases you going to have around 300 kg thats heavy. I was moving back and forth tossing and turning in bed at night which one I should choose and I made the right decision. Multistrada V4S Full all in all good and not 300 kg on travel time. If I had decided for the Rally the Case Setup would have been the plastic ones I want to see the beauty not the ugly Metal Harness.
I appreciate the fact that you let us know of your experience and hopefully this will help others make decisions. Thank you for sharing.
Just hold the suspension button and it’ll drop the suspension whilst starting off and slow riding
Yes, it will absolutely do that. I normally don't have to but even with the low seat on the stock seat, its a little high for me.
It looks like you’re in south Florida. Ridden mini mini mini miles on a 77 kz650 c in the 80’s there is nowhere to ride off-road ( a formers field is NOT off-road.
Yes, agree.
Multistrada v4 sport with full system
The review was pretty good and it seems the Rally is really liked by almost all reviewers. However when you started bashing the BMW GS and KTM you lost me.
Road -wise, BMW and KTM don't compare to Ducate. Off road, however, I think they may have the edge. I had a bad experience with KTM NA with a warranty issue on my personal KTM that I still own, therefore I am not keen on them an unless something changes, won't be buying another KTM anytime soon.
Understood, nothing will sour you on a company faster then a warranty dispute especially after the money we spend on top of the line adventure bikes. But it's hard to ignore the other reviewers including some of the professional motorcycle journalists who all found the BMW GS Adventure the best for long days on the highway touring. But I respect your opinion I've only owned the GS Adventure looking to purchase my first Ducati Multi Rally.@@RemboUSMC
The real question is will it make it to your garage?
Not at this time
i think in bmw land, the s1000xr is more equivalent. i’d obviously rather the v4s anyhow
Super expensive for what it is. Plus Ducati hides the Freight from the total MSRP so add another $800. And on top, Ducati Dealers shamelessly charge $500 for Set up. Once you put all that together, it is a $35,000 bike with Processing Fee, Tax and Tags. I wish this bike was 10 Speed so it would not have the terrible gas mileage. Totally unnecessary high RPM engine. Super buzzy and ridiculously hot. On top, not as smooth as the Boxers. I’d take the proven Boxer Engine GSA in this category all day.
Thanks for sharing
GSA better all round bike and amazingly although lower BHP it is a match everywhere.
Let’s see where the new GSA (1300/1400 or whatever it will be) ends up price wise, it might be more $. The 1250 motor and chassis are a generation back nowadays. I currently own a 1250 GSA (‘23) and am currently weighing options of keeping vs replacing.
A Ducat Multistrada Rally wasted in Florida😂😂😂 Simple straight roads for a million miles🤦♂️ USD$30K
South Florida is not the place for this motorcycle. I agree.
Great bike but would not replace my R1250GSA. friend has Pikes Peak V4 and the GSA seems to be a better all round bike 90 % of the time. However probably buy one couple years or the new R1300GSA when it comes out just for a change.
