What is the 2027 Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour?
Ducati has unveiled the most comprehensively equipped long-distance version of Ducati’s Multistrada V4 S adventure-touring range: the Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour.
The Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour is positioned as a fully optioned travel model; it comes with factory-fitted touring accessories that riders would otherwise have to add as options after purchase. The Grand Tour package combines performance, comfort, luggage capacity and advanced rider-assistance technology in a single specification.
What engine powers it?
Ducati’s 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine powers the 2027 Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour. It produces 170 hp, or 125 kW, at 10,750 rpm and 123.8 Nm of torque at 9,000 rpm, giving the Grand Tour both strong long-distance touring performance and the high-rev character. The engine comes with Extended Cylinder Deactivation, which shuts down the rear cylinder bank when not needed.
What rider-assistance technology is included?
The 2027 Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour comes standard with a front and rear radar system that enables Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Detection and Forward Collision Warning.
Ducati has also equipped the Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour with a Bosch Inertial Measurement Unit, which powers Ducati Vehicle Observer, which manages a host of Ducati rider aids such as Cornering ABS, Ducati Traction Control, Ducati Wheelie Control and Vehicle Hold Control.
What electronics and connectivity features does it have?
The Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour receives five riding modes: Sport, Touring, Urban, Wet and Enduro, along with four power modes. It comes with a 6.5-inch full-colour TFT display that supports phone mirroring, music control and map-based navigation.
The Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour also comes equipped with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, auxiliary LED spotlights, dynamic indicators, a rear fog light, full-LED lighting with DRL and Ducati Cornering Lights.
What are its braking and chassis highlights?
The 2027 Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour features an aluminium monocoque frame paired with a steel-tube subframe and an aluminium double-sided swingarm. Ducati says it has repositioned the swingarm pivot to increase the anti-squat effect, improving stability, traction, and rideability when the motorcycle carries a rider, passenger, and luggage.
Marzocchi Ducati Skyhook Suspension EVO handles suspension, a semi-active electronic system with 170 mm of travel at the front and 180 mm at the rear. It features a new fork-position sensor, Bump Detection and predictive damping logic, which enables the suspension to adapt in real time to changing road surfaces. The motorcycle also comes with an Automatic Lowering Device.
What is the Automatic Lowering Device?
The Automatic Lowering Device lowers the 2027 Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour by up to 30 mm below 10 km/h, making stops and low-speed manoeuvres easier for the rider. Once the motorcycle crosses 50 km/h, the system returns to its normal setting.
How customisable is the Grand Tour?
Ducati allows owners to personalise their Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour through Ducati’s Factory Made Programme. Buyers can specify coloured brake callipers, different seat and suspension heights, and carbon-fibre components before delivery. While it is offered only in the dedicated Grand Tour livery, these options let customers tailor comfort, ergonomics and styling without relying on aftermarket modifications.
What ownership benefits does Ducati offer?
Ducati offers the 2027 Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour with ownership benefits focused on long-distance reliability, reduced maintenance and peace of mind. Ducati has scheduled valve-clearance checks every 60,000 km, a noticeably generous interval that reduces the frequency of major servicing.
When will it arrive, and who is it for?
The 2027 Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour is set to reach European dealerships in November 2026, followed by the United States in December 2026. Asian markets and Australia are scheduled to receive it from April 2027.
