Overview

Introducing the 2020 Ducati Multistrada 950 S, a versatile adventure motorcycle that seamlessly blends performance, comfort, and cutting-edge technology. Positioned in the all-round category, this Italian marvel is designed for riders seeking an exhilarating experience, whether navigating through winding mountain roads or embarking on long-distance tours. With its striking design, featuring the iconic Ducati Red and Glossy Grey color options, the Multistrada 950 S not only captivates the eye but also promises an unforgettable ride. At the heart of the Multistrada 950 S lies a robust 937cc V2 engine, delivering a thrilling 113 horsepower at 9,000 RPM and an impressive torque of 96.20 Nm at 7,750 RPM. This four-stroke powerhouse, paired with a smooth 6-speed gearbox, ensures that power is readily available across the entire rev range, making overtaking and climbing steep inclines a breeze. The advanced Bosch electronic fuel injection system with Ride-by-Wire technology enhances throttle response and rideability, while the lightweight tubular steel Trellis frame provides superb handling and stability. With a fuel consumption of just 3.50 litres per 100 km, the Multistrada 950 S not only performs well but also keeps you on the road longer between fill-ups. The 2020 model is packed with essential features that enhance both comfort and control, such as a KYB 48 mm fully adjustable USD front fork and a fully adjustable monoshock suspension, both providing 170 mm of travel for a smooth, responsive ride over various terrains. The advanced braking system, featuring radially mounted four-piston calipers on the front and two-piston calipers on the rear, ensures powerful stopping power with ABS for extra safety. With a seat height of 840 mm, the Multistrada accommodates a wide range of riders, and its electric starter makes it a breeze to fire up and hit the open road. **
