Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally Launched in India at Rs 29.72 Lakh
The off-road-focused variant of the brand's flagship Multistrada V4 has been launched in India at an ex-showroom price of Rs 29.72 lakh. This new variant is called the Multistrada V4 Rally and is available in 2 colour trims.
After the Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour bike, Ducati has now introduced the all-new variant of the brand's flagship adventure tourer – the Multistrada V4 Rally. Prices of the bike start at Rs 29.72 lakh for the Ducati Red and go up to Rs 30.02 lakh for the Brush Aluminium Matte Black version. Both prices are ex-showroom, India. Positioned as a rival to the likes of the BMW R 1250 GS Adventure, Kawasaki Versys 1000, and Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer, the Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally has received several updates over the regular model. The biggest talking point is a bigger 30-litre fuel tank, offering a longer range. Plus, the tail section has been enlarged to accommodate more space for the pillion rider. Standard equipment includes spoke wheels, tubeless tyres, along with a centre stand for easier loading of luggage. Moreover, it also gets thicker rubber for the foot pegs. Other bits include an adjustable transparent visor sitting atop a two-piece headlight, a revised front windscreen, a beak-styled front fender, split seats, semi-fairing, and a tall-set exhaust.
