The ever evolving Ducati Multistrada gets a new V4 engine for 2021. Horsepower is increased to 170 with torque sitting at 92 foot-pounds. The new engine is said to be much smoother than the outgoing V-Twin and Ducati says the first major maintenance on the new engine is at 60,000 kilometres. To retain the distinctive sound of the V-Twin, the V4 has a twin pulse firing order and a counter-rotating crankshaft. New bodywork, lights and technology, including radar, round out the changes. The base model starts at $22,395 and climbs steadily through the S and S Sport models.
