Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour gets factory-fitted touring kit
The Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour adds heated seats, luggage, extra lighting and more to the standard bike, with European deliveries starting in November.
Ducati has given its Multistrada V4 S a touring-focused makeover, adding a stack of factory-fitted accessories to create the Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour.

It isn't an all-new Multistrada, but rather a more comprehensively equipped version of the existing V4 S, aimed at riders who want their bike ready for long-distance travel straight out of the showroom.
The biggest additions are the 60-litre side cases, which are colour-matched to the bike, along with a standard centre stand to make loading and removing them easier.
The Grand Tour also gets heated grips and heated seats for both rider and passenger, plus a keyless fuel cap.
There is extra lighting, too, with LED auxiliary lights, dynamic indicators and a rear fog light fitted as standard. Tyre pressure monitoring is also included.
The bike retains the V4 S's radar system, bringing Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Detection and Forward Collision Warning to the Grand Tour.
Ducati has also fitted its Automatic Lowering Device, which drops the bike by up to 30mm below 10km/h to make stopping and low-speed manoeuvres easier.
Easy Lift suspension hydraulics are intended to make getting the bike off its side stand less of a workout.
Visually, the Grand Tour gets its own livery, with red graphics and Grand Tour branding alongside black finishes for the frame, swingarm, handlebar, risers and triple clamps. The side cases are integrated into the same design.
Underneath, it's business as usual, with the 1,158cc V4 Granturismo producing 170bhp and 123.8Nm (91lb ft), while Ducati's Skyhook semi-active suspension, electronic rider aids and 6.5-inch TFT with navigation remain at the heart of the package.
The Grand Tour is due to arrive in European Ducati dealerships from November 2026, with the USA following in December and Asian markets and Australia in April 2027. Pricing at the time of writing is TBC.
