Diavel V4 RS and Multistrada V4 RS: uncompromising style, performance, and lightness

Ducati unveils the new RS range at the San Marino and Rimini Riviera GP. The Diavel V4 RS and the Multistrada V4 RS arrived in the pit lane of the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, ridden by the two Ducati Lenovo team riders, concluding the story told in the presentation video, in which Marc Márquez and Pecco Bagnaia engage in a thrilling remote game, creating a spectacular showdown that highlights the soul and performance of each bike.

The new RS range is designed for those who live Ducati as an absolute passion and recognise excellence at first sight. An unparalleled experience, reserved for those who desire the best and seek the utmost in performance, lightness, and style. A range whose mission is to create models that represent the pinnacle of sporting excellence in their respective families, characterised by racing performance and technology and made unique by distinctive liveries, exclusive components, and high-quality materials such as titanium and carbon fibre.

The Diavel V4 RS and Multistrada V4 RS are numbered series models that, thanks to the Desmosedici Stradale engine and exclusive carbon fibre and titanium components, bring their respective worlds closer to that of Superbike.

The 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale engine combines smoothness at low and medium revs with a spirited and sporty personality at high revs, the result of a very broad power delivery curve achieved thanks to desmodromic distribution. Smooth in its response at low revs, the V4 becomes thrilling near the redline, accompanied by the characteristic exhaust note of the Twin Pulse firing order, which, during acceleration, becomes exhilarating as the revs rise.

The riding experience on the Diavel V4 RS is unique, thanks to its spirited and thrilling power delivery and the unmistakable sound of the Desmosedici Stradale engine with dry clutch. The Diavel V4 RS can command attention at low speeds but also excites in sporty riding, thanks to its Öhlins suspension, aluminium single-sided swingarm, Panigale V4-derived braking system, and forged wheels designed specifically for this model.

The technical and stylistic details that characterise the Diavel V4 RS's livery make it unforgettable. The RS logo, designed by the Centro Stile, appears on the livery, on the hands-free ignition key, in the dashboard graphics, and on the rear cylinder head cover, where the bike's serial number is also located. And the experience of riding this unique motorcycle will be made even more special by the dedicated dashboard animation at key-on.

The Diavel V4 RS's design is completely new. Every element—from the air intakes to the single-seat tailpiece, to the mudguards and tank covers, all made of carbon fibre—contributes to an even more distinctive and sporty look, reducing the bike's weight by 3 kg without compromising the Diavel's unmistakable identity.

The new Ducati Multistrada V4 RS combines the unmistakable Multistrada line, elegant and dynamic, with the new RS livery. Various carbon fibre components, such as the front mudguard, handguards, heat shields, and front beak, along with forged wheels, a lightweight lithium-ion battery, and a techno-polymer tail fairing (designed specifically for this model) mounted on the titanium subframe, contribute to a weight saving of 2 kg compared to the Multistrada Pikes Peak.

The Ducati Multistrada V4 RS is produced in a numbered series. The sequential numbering is shown on a black anodised aluminium plate attached to the triple clamp and adorned with the Italian flag. And here too, the dashboard will greet the rider with a dedicated animation at key-on.

As with all models in the Multistrada family, Ducati offers the exclusive "4Ever Multistrada" warranty for the Multistrada V4 RS, valid for four years with unlimited mileage, guaranteed by the Bologna-based manufacturer's entire European dealer network.
