Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2026 Ducati Multistrada V4 RS spec sheet below.
2026 Multistrada V4 RS - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
⛽
Large fuel range: With a 22-litre tank, this isn't a bike you'll be stopping for fuel every hour - a real asset on longer trips.
Considerations
-
⚙️
Chain final drive upkeep: A chain drivetrain is the most common setup in its class, but it's also the one that demands the most regular hands-on maintenance.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Suspension condition on used examples
Suspension duties are handled by up front and Fully adjustable Öhlins TTX36 mono-shock unit. Electronic compression and rebound damping adjustment with Öhlins Smart EC 2 event-based mode, electronic pre-load adjusment, aluminium single-sided swingarm at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.
Final drive maintenance
Chain final drive on the Multistrada V4 RS means routine lubing and tension checks are part of ownership - skip them and sprocket wear accelerates noticeably.
Handling the weight at a standstill
The Multistrada V4 RS's 225 kg kerb weight is worth factoring into how you handle it at a standstill - parking-lot manoeuvres need a bit more deliberate technique than on a lighter machine.
Multistrada V4 RS - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
A pre-purchase check on the 2026 Ducati Multistrada V4 RS should cover the same ground every time: service history, chain and sprocket condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept Multistrada V4 RS settles to a smooth idle within seconds.
Oil and filter changes
Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for a Multistrada V4 RS's engine - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.
