The new Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak has just rolled into India like a two-wheeled Italian missile, and let me tell you, it’s not here to bring you groceries—it’s here to win the mountain.
For the hefty price of Rs. 36,16,700 (ex-showroom), you get a machine that sheds the usual “adventure” bulk and leans full throttle into “road sport” precision. Think of it as the Multistrada that got tired of getting dirt on its fancy shoes and decided to go to the track day instead.
🤯 The Power-Packed Heart
At its core is the glorious 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine. Forget four cylinders that are sluggish—this one screams out a mighty 168 bhp at 10,750 rpm and a stout 123.8 Nm of torque at 9,000 rpm. That power is managed by a crisper quickshifter, a more direct throttle in High Power mode, and a new Race Riding Mode so you can pretend you’re setting a new course record.
And get this: Ducati is confident you won’t kill it quickly. Oil changes are only needed every 15,000 km, and the valve clearance check is a mind-boggling 60,000 km away! That’s almost one-and-a-half trips around the Earth’s circumference!
⚙️ Race-Ready Tech & Hardware
This bike wears its MotoGP inspiration on its sleeve (and on its forged rims):
- Lighter & Tighter: It rocks 17-inch forged wheels and a light aluminum monocoque frame with adjusted geometry for quicker steering without sacrificing stability.
- Suspension Sorcery: The Ohlins Smart EC 2.0 electronic suspension uses “event-based logic.” In plain English: it knows when you’re getting aggressive and firms up instantly, then softens when you’re just cruising. Smart pants!
- Stopping Power: The brakes are pure performance—Brembo Stylema monoblocs chomping on massive 330mm front discs and a larger 280mm rear disc.
🛡️ Assistance for the Indian Hustle
While it’s built for Pikes Peak, it comes loaded with tech that will actually save your bacon on Indian expressways:
- Full Radar Suite: Yes, it has radar! This enables Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), and Forward Collision Warning. It’s basically a highly-attuned co-pilot.
- Brainy Rider Aids: A six-axis IMU works with the Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO) to manage traction, wheelies, slides, and cornering ABS with race-tuned precision.
- Connectivity: A 6.5-inch TFT dashboard lets you toggle between Race, Sport, Touring, Urban, and Wet profiles, plus hands-free ignition and provision for data logging.
Finally, you get the aesthetic goodies: lower, narrower handlebars, higher, set-back footpegs for a sportier stance, and beautiful carbon-fiber trim topped off with a factory-fitted Akrapovič titanium silencer.
It’s a dedicated sport-touring weapon, available for delivery right now for those with a fat wallet and a need for speed.
The difference in price between the Pikes Peak edition and the standard Multistrada V4 in India?
That’s an excellent question! The jump to the Pikes Peak edition is a serious commitment, and it comes with a matching price hike.
Based on current ex-showroom prices in India, here is the breakdown of the major Multistrada V4 variants:
| Variant | Ex-Showroom Price (INR) | Difference from Pikes Peak | Key Highlights |
| Multistrada V4 Standard | ₹24,56,300 | ~₹11.60 Lakh LESS | Base model, 19-inch front wheel, standard suspension. |
| Multistrada V4 S | ₹30,61,300 | ~₹5.55 Lakh LESS | Adds electronic Skyhook suspension, up/down quickshifter, cornering lights, and often the full radar suite (ACC, BSD) as standard or optional. |
| Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak | ₹36,16,700 | (The one you asked about!) | Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension, 17-inch forged wheels, single-sided swingarm, Akrapovič exhaust, Race Mode, revised ergonomics. |
💰 The Price of Performance
The Pikes Peak version is a whopping ₹11.60 Lakh more expensive than the standard Multistrada V4.
The price difference of approximately ₹5.55 Lakh between the V4 S and the V4 Pikes Peak is essentially what you pay for the focused performance upgrades:
- Swap from Skyhook to Öhlins Smart EC 2.0: A more aggressive, superbike-derived electronic suspension setup.
- The 19-inch to 17-inch Forged Wheel Change: This is a major geometry change for sharper, sportier handling.
- Akrapovič Titanium Silencer and extensive carbon-fibre detailing.
- Single-Sided Swingarm: A signature sporty aesthetic (and lighter weight) change.
It’s a huge premium, but it’s for the rider who values track-level precision and top-shelf componentry over the V4 S’s already excellent all-around capability.
