2026 Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally price and specs confirmed

[RiderBOT]

Ducati has confirmed that its updated Multistrada V4 Rally will hit Australian showrooms in January, 2026, priced from $43,800 rideaway.

For 2026, the Multistrada V4 Rally receives a host of updates aimed at making its adventure-touring flagship even more capable for long-distance travel.

The Italian manufacturer announced the latest Rally at a media event last week, showcasing refinements across the chassis, electronics, and rider aids that build on the model first launched in 2023.

At the heart of the updates is the evolved Adaptive Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DSS) EVO system, which has been enhanced to read road conditions and riding style in real-time.

Also new is an automatic lowering device, which drops the bike’s height when speeds fall below 10km/h. The system automatically raises the bike back to normal ride height once you exceed 50km/h on-road or 20km/h off-road.

Safety receives a boost with Forward Collision Warning, which alerts riders to potential frontal impacts via a dashboard pop-up. The radar-based system complements existing Adaptive Cruise Control and Blind Spot Detection technology.

Ducati has also refined the combined brake system with a new rear-to-front strategy that activates the front brake when only the rear lever is used, reducing pitch and improving comfort, particularly when riding two-up.

The 1158cc V4 Granturismo engine carries over unchanged, delivering 127kW and 121Nm. The counter-rotating crankshaft, said to be derived from MotoGP technology, works against wheel gyroscopic forces for sharper handling, according to Ducati.

The Rally variant focusses long-distance comfort with its 30-litre fuel tank, improved windscreen (40mm wider and 20mm higher than the standard V4), and standard centre stand and heated grips.

Ducati has repositioned the swingarm pivot higher to improve anti-squat characteristics under load, while the rear brake disc grows to 280mm for better stopping power when fully laden.

The 6.5-inch TFT display receives updated graphics and more intuitive controls for heated grips and seats. Ducati Connect integration handles navigation, calls, and music through compatible helmet intercoms.

Three variants will be offered: Radar (with all radar systems), Adventure Travel & Radar (adding aluminium panniers and heated seats), and Full Adventure (including an Akrapovic exhaust and carbon front guard). Two colour schemes are available: Ducati Red with brushed aluminium tank and black wheels, or Jade Green with brushed aluminium tank and gold wheels.
