Overview

Introducing the 2021 Ducati Multistrada 950, a formidable contender in the allround motorcycle segment that seamlessly blends performance, comfort, and versatility. Designed for riders who crave adventure—whether on winding mountain roads or city commutes—this motorcycle embodies Ducati's legendary spirit of exploration. Sporting an aggressive yet elegant design, the Multistrada 950 is a perfect fusion of sportiness and practicality, making it an ideal choice for both seasoned riders and those venturing into the world of touring. At the heart of the Multistrada 950 lies a robust 937cc V2 engine that delivers an exhilarating 113 horsepower at 9,000 RPM and an impressive torque of 96.2 Nm at 7,750 RPM. This powerplant not only offers thrilling acceleration but also ensures smooth and responsive handling, thanks to its advanced Bosch electronic fuel injection system and Ride-by-Wire technology. With a compression ratio of 12.6:1, the engine provides a satisfying punch, whether you're carving through corners or cruising on the highway. The 6-speed gearbox, paired with a slipper and self-servo wet multiplate clutch, guarantees precise shifts and enhances rider confidence, especially during aggressive downshifts. The Multistrada 950 is equipped with a host of features that elevate the riding experience. Its tubular steel trellis frame balances lightweight agility and structural strength, while the fully adjustable KYB front and rear suspension systems offer 170 mm of travel for optimum comfort over varied terrains. The braking system is equally impressive, featuring radially mounted four-piston calipers at the front for superior stopping power, complemented by Bosch ABS for enhanced safety. With a seat height of 840 mm, riders can enjoy a commanding view of the road ahead, and the 20-litre fuel tank ensures that you can embark on lengthy journeys without frequent stops. **
