Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Multistrada V2 S 2023

The Ducati Multistrada V2 S impresses with its sporty DNA, state-of-the-art technology and agile riding performance. It is the first choice for dynamic riders who value performance and precision when travelling. Despite its lower weight, it impresses with its high stability and comprehensive electronics package. Minor weaknesses such as the limited comfort at lower speeds or the somewhat clunky quickshifter in tight hairpins hardly spoil the positive overall picture.
