A bike we have suspected<\/a> from Ducati ever since the Multistrada V4<\/a> debuted, the Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak continues a long tradition from the Italian brand in making a sportier adventure-tourer.<\/p>\n

That ethos gets taken to another level with this incarnation though, thanks primarily to Borgo Panigale positioning the base Multistrada V4 as a more all-round ADV bike, with its 19″ front wheel and double-sided swingarm.<\/p>\n

Returning the Multistrada to its 17″ ways, the 2022 Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak features not only a smaller front wheel, but also a single-sided swingarm and other sport-focused choices.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, the Pikes Peak model has seen a number of ergonomic changes come as well, such as foot pegs that are higher and farther back (10mm each way), handlebars that are narrower and more bent, and a revised rake and trail (25.75\u00b0 compared to the 24.5\u00b0 of the Multistrada V4).<\/p>\n

Roughly 8 lbs has been taken off the Multistrada V4 in the process as well (527 lbs wet at the curb), which when coupled to the 167hp (125 kW) Granturismo V4 motor, makes for a potent sport-tourer.<\/p>\n

Ducati boasts, in fact, that the Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak is the sportiest ADV bike on the market, and of course, they are right. It would seem that the Pikes Peak model is Ducati’s response for a sport-touring bike in the lineup.<\/p>\n

Ducati thinks so highly of the sport features on the Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak that they have even added a “Race” mode to bike’s arsenal of electronics.<\/p>\n
