Ducati has launched the Multistrada V2 in India at ₹ 14.65 lakh for the standard version, and ₹ 16.65 lakh for the ‘S’. This makes it one lakh more expensive than the Multistrada 950 it replaces — its ‘S’ variant (₹ 15.49 lakh) was the sole one available.
The Multistrada V2 debuted internationally in September last year, and for the extra money demanded over the Multi 950, it offers a few updates and improvements. There is a new clutch and a revised gearbox, as well as a 5kg weight reduction as a result of changes like lighter mirrors and wheels. Kerb weight now stands at 221.8kg for the standard version and 224.9kg for the ‘S’ variant, compared to the 230kg of the Multi 950 S.
One visual difference is the new engine cover design, while, inside the motor, you get redesigned connecting rods. Output remains unchanged, though — 113hp at 9,000rpm and 96Nm at 7,750rpm.
