The Ducati Multistrada V4<\/a> family got a little bigger today, with the Italian brand offering the Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally for the 2023 model year.<\/p>\n

The bike is aimed at the niche carved out by bikes like the BMW R1250GS Adventure<\/a>, where long-distance travel (over questionable terrain) is the name of the game. <\/p>\n

To aid in that goal, Ducati has added several key features that set the Multistrada V4 Rally apart from the rest of the Bologna brand’s lineup.<\/p>\n

First is the addition of a 30-liter fuel tank – that’s 7.9 gallons of fuel – which should help boost the range of the V4-powered adventure bike, especially where the sidewalk ends.<\/p>\n

Ducati seemingly acknowledges that the V4 Granturismo motor<\/a> is a thirsty girl, and has employed cylinder deactivation (turning off the cylinders in the rear cylinder bank) not only during stops, but also at steady high speeds.<\/p>\n
