Updated Ducati Multistrada Pikes Peak Confirmed For 2025

‘Expand Your Limits’, the first of five Ducati World Premier events before the end of 2024, which will unveil new bikes for 2025, started today as Ducati has introduced a new Multistrada Pikes Peak model.

The existing Multistrada Pikes Peak in Ducati’s range, which first came out in 2022, is considered Ducati’s sportiest model in its extensive Multistrada range alongside the V4 RS. Boasting a renewed design for the 2025 model, Ducati’s newest Pikes Peak model has been given a new livery that’s inspired by colours and graphics represented in MotoGP, WSBK and the motocross championships.

To further pin its hat on the sporty attitude the Pikes Peak is known for, the new model has been fitted with numerous carbon fibre parts and an Akrapovic titanium exhaust. The chassis of the Pikes Peak model is distinctively different from the Multistrada V4 and is developed around its 17-inch front wheel. As you would expect from Ducati, the bike is fitted with Pirelli Diablo sports road tyres, which consist of a 120/70 measurement on the front and 190/55-17 on the rear.

Now, a noticeable change from the previous model is concerning the single-sided swingarm which is mounted on a pivot that’s been raised one millimetre higher than the previous Pike Peak bike. Brembo brakes are fitted both on the front and rear of the new model. The new 2025 Pikes Peak is using Ohlins suspension which was also the case on the previous model.

Thanks to the new DVO (Ducati Vehicle Observer) function, introduced on the 2025 Panigale V4 S, the Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak becomes safer and more effective, say Ducati, thanks to electronic controls that can act with greater precision.

The Italian brand claims: “This function estimates the position of the bike in space and its overall mass more accurately, simulating the input of 70 sensors to integrate the data provided by the inertial platform. The Ducati Vehicle Observer, developed by Ducati Corse in MotoGP, refines the strategies of ABS Cornering, Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) and Ducati Traction Control (DTC).”

The new Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak has also been equipped with EBC (Engine Brake Control) adjustable on three levels, which allows the rider to better customise the engine braking according to their riding style.

Ducati’s new V4 Granturismo engine, which helps take the bike to a massive 170bhp, is equipped with an extended deactivation strategy that reduces emissions levels and fuel consumption by up to 6 per cent.
