The 2022 Ducati Multistrada V2 offers 2 variants to the Indian markets, a standard and an S variant. It comes with an updated colour palette, offering the ‘Ducati Red’ colour with black rims as standard for both the trims. Its top-spec S-variant also gets an additional colour option of ‘Street Grey’ with a black frame and red wheel rims, available through special order only. Moreover, the adventure motorbike comes with a new clutch and a revised gearbox, lighter mirror, engine and wheels resulting in a 5kg reduction in its weight. The shape of its seat has also been modified and reduced to 830mm, giving the feet easier access to the ground.  

Coming to the 2022 Multistrada V2 specs of its hardware, it is underpinned by the same trellis frame with a double-sided identical swingarm. In its standard variant, the frame sits on a 48mm diameter upside-down fork at the front and mono-shock at the rear. The Multistrada V2 S variant receives the Ducati Skyhook Suspension EVO semi-active suspension system. The ADV comes equipped with traction control, cornering ABS, hill hold assist, an LCD digital instrument console along with 4 riding modes namely Sport, Touring, Urban and Enduro. The S variant comes with additional pieces of equipment such as a 5.0-inch TFT dashboard, cruise control, a bidirectional quick-shifter and much more.
