2025 Multistrada V4 / V4S - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
⚡
Strong power output: 2025 Ducati Multistrada V4 / V4S makes 170 hp @ 10500 rpm with 125 Nm @ 8750 rpm of torque - competitive figures for its class.
-
🔧
Fuel injection: The fuel injectionsystem system delivers crisp throttle response and reliable cold starts regardless of altitude or temperature.
-
🛑
Strong front braking: The disc front brake gives excellent stopping power and responds well to aftermarket braided lines.
-
⛽
Large fuel range: The 22-litre tank is generously sized, translating to extended range between stops - ideal for touring or longer commutes.
Considerations
-
⚙️
Chain final drive upkeep: Chain final drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get full life out of the sprockets.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Cooling system servicing
The Liquid cooled system on the Multistrada V4 / V4S needs a coolant change roughly every two years (or per the service schedule) - skipping it lets the coolant turn acidic and corrode the aluminium water passages over time.
Fuelling & injector care
Fuelling comes from fuel injectionsystem. Systems like this are largely maintenance-free beyond keeping fuel quality decent and injectors clear - a fuel-system cleaner every service interval is cheap insurance.
Brake disc and pad wear
The disc front brake gives strong, progressive stopping power. Disc thickness and pad depth are worth checking at every tyre change, since worn pads can score the disc surface.
Suspension condition on used examples
Up front, the Multistrada V4 / V4S runs V4: 50 mm fully adjustable USD mechanical fork, compression and rebound damping adjustment.V4S: 0 mm fully adjustable USD fork, electronic compression and rebound damping adjustment with Ducati Skyhook Suspension, integrated stroke sensor and V4: Fully adjustable monoshock, Remote spring preload adjustment, aluminum double-sided swingarm, automatic fast lowering device between 6 mph and 30 mph, aluminum double-sided swingarm V4S: Fully adjustable monoshock, electronic adjustment with Ducati Skyhook Suspension, automatic fast lowering device between 6 mph and 30 mph, aluminum double-sided swingarm at the rear. On a used example, check fork seals for weeping oil and test the rear linkage for play - seals are a relatively cheap fix but useful when negotiating price.
Final drive maintenance
Final drive is by chain - expect to clean and lube it every few hundred kilometres and check tension regularly; a neglected chain wears the sprockets faster than the chain itself.
Frame & chassis check
The frame is Aluminum monocoque frame - worth a visual check for corrosion or impact damage around the head-stock and swingarm pivot on any used example, since frame damage is far costlier to fix than any service item.
Low-speed handling
At just V4: 229 kg/ 505 lbsV4S: 232 kg, the Multistrada V4 / V4S is light enough to manhandle easily at a standstill - one of the practical advantages of its class.
Multistrada V4 / V4S - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
When inspecting a used 2025 Ducati Multistrada V4 / V4S with its 1158 cc enduro / off-road, start with the basics: check the service book for oil change frequency, inspect the drivetrain for wear, and look for oil seepage around the engine casings and rocker covers. This model runs chain final drive, so check chain slack and sprocket tooth profile specifically - a worn sprocket is a cheaper fix now than after it's chewed up the next chain. A cold start test is invaluable - a well-maintained Multistrada V4 / V4S should fire up cleanly and settle to a smooth idle within a few seconds.
Oil and filter changes
Regular oil changes are the single most important maintenance task for the Multistrada V4 / V4S's 1158 cc four stroke, 90° granturismo v 4, counter rotating crankshaft, 4 valves per cylinder, twin pulse firing order. Stick to the manufacturer's interval - typically every 6,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. With a 14.0:1 compression ratio, running the octane grade specified in the manual matters more than on a lower-compression engine. Always use the correct viscosity grade as specified in the owner's manual.
Fuel system care
The Multistrada V4 / V4S's fuel injection system is durable but benefits from quality fuel and the occasional use of a fuel-system cleaner additive. If the bike has been stored for more than three months, drain and replace the fuel to prevent varnish deposits in the injectors.
