Ducati Multistrada V4 RS Lightweight Components
Ducati has brought more lightweight components to the Multistrada V4 RS and weighs 3 kg less than the Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak. The bike rides on 17-inch Marchesini forged aluminium wheels and a titanium subframe that’s 2.5 kg lighter than the other Multi variants. The tail section does away with the pillion grab handle and top box mounting bracket for a leaner alternative.
Suspension duties are handled by the new 48 mm Ohlins fully adjustable front forks with titanium nitride (TiN) and an Ohlins TTX36 fully adjustable monoshock in the rear. Braking performance comes from the radially-mounted Brembo Stylema monobloc four-piston calipers at the front with twin 330 mm semi-floating disc brakes and a radial master cylinder. The rear gets a Brembo two-piston floating caliper with a 265 mm disc brake. The sporty offering gets seat height adjustability between 840 mm and 860 mm.
