What is the 2027 Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak?
Ducati has unveiled the Multistrada Pikes Peak for the 2027 model year. It is Ducati’s performance‑oriented variant of the V4‑powered adventure tourer family — The Multistrada. The motorcycle is presented as a crossover between a sports motorcycle and a capable adventure model. The Pikes Peak edition features a high-performance engine combined with sports-oriented suspension, wheels, brakes and electronics, all wrapped in an exclusive “Pikes Peak” moniker celebrating the brand’s success at the infamous hill climb event.
What’s new for 2027?
The 2027 update keeps the core mechanical package intact but adds a fresh, race‑inspired visual identity and more personalisation options through Ducati’s Factory Made programme.
The new Factory Made programme now includes: red forged wheels, Red or black brake callipers, Additional carbon‑fibre components, Auxiliary lighting, side panniers and topcase and rider-preferred seat customisation from the factory line.
For 2027, Ducati has tweaked the ergonomics, making the riding position more sport-oriented. The footpegs are now positioned higher and further rearward, while the handlebar is lower, narrower and flatter.
What does the new livery look like?
For 2027, the Multistrada Pikes Peak now wears a new livery developed by Centro Stile Ducati in collaboration with Drudi Performance, directly inspired by Ducati’s factory Desmosedici GP MotoGP bike and Panigale V4 R WorldSBK racer.
The new livery uses a Ducati Red base crossed by a distinctive double white band, with black elements to sharpen the overall look. As a whole visual package, the sports ADV features a carbon‑fibre front mudguard and beak, a low smoked windscreen, gold‑anodised Öhlins fork sliders, a V4‑branded two‑tone seat, a Ducati Corse badge on the beak and a homologated Akrapovič titanium silencer.
