Overview

Introducing the 2020 Ducati Multistrada 950, an all-rounder that encapsulates the spirit of adventure while delivering the performance and versatility that riders crave. Positioned in the middleweight category, the Multistrada 950 is perfect for those who seek a balanced mix of capability for both spirited rides on winding roads and comfortable long-distance touring. With its striking Ducati Red livery, this motorcycle is not just a feast for the eyes; it’s a manifestation of Ducati’s engineering prowess and riding philosophy designed for the modern adventurer. At the heart of the Multistrada 950 lies a potent 937cc V2, four-stroke engine that churns out a robust 113 horsepower at 9,000 RPM and a torque of 96.20 Nm at 7,750 RPM. This powerplant is expertly engineered with a 12.6:1 compression ratio, ensuring exhilarating acceleration at every twist of the throttle. The liquid-cooled engine features Bosch electronic fuel injection with Ride-by-Wire technology, allowing for precise throttle response and smooth power delivery, making it equally adept at tackling twisty mountain roads or cruising along the highway. The 6-speed gearbox and slipper clutch further enhance the riding experience, providing seamless shifts whether you're in the city or on an open road. The Multistrada 950 is packed with an array of features that elevate its ride quality and enhance safety. The tubular steel Trellis frame offers a lightweight yet sturdy foundation, complemented by fully adjustable KYB suspension—both front and rear—allowing for personalized tuning based on riding style or load. The advanced braking system, featuring Bosch Cornering ABS with double front discs and a single rear disc, ensures confident stopping power in various conditions. Additionally, the Ducati Traction Control (DTC) and multiple riding modes empower riders to tailor their experience to suit their preferences, while the Vehicle Hold Control (VHC) adds an extra layer of convenience, especially during uphill starts. **
