Electronic riding aid systems

• Many of the electronic systems that are now standard on motorbikes were pioneered by Ducati, which has earned a place among the most advanced companies in the sector. Safety, comfort and performance improved thanks to the continuous improvement.
• ABS CORNERING: An anti-lock braking system is a safety system that prevents a vehicle’s wheels from locking during heavy braking. Essentially, the ABS regulates the braking pressure on the wheel, allowing it to continuously have traction on the riding surface. There are different ABS intervention levels, depending on the selected Riding Mode.
• BLIND SPOT DETECTION (BSD): The BSD (Blind Spot Detection) system signals vehicles that are in the blind spot of vision via the LEDs positioned on the rearview mirrors, illuminating the one positioned on the side where it detects the presence of a vehicle. The BSD also signals the approaching from behind of vehicles at high speed.
• ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC): Adaptive cruise control, also known by the acronym ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control), is an electronic control system that adjusts the speed of the vehicle while automatically maintaining a safe distance (selectable on four levels) from the vehicles in front. This makes it possible to ride at a constant speed on a motorway, for example, without twisting the throttle.
• DUCATI BRAKE LIGHT (DBL): In the event of sudden braking, automatically activates the flashing of the rear light to alert the following vehicles, a solution that further improves rider’s safety.
• ÖHLINS SMART EC: Semi-active Ohlins suspension, mounted on the sportiest models in the Ducati range starting from the 1299 Panigale, based on the Öhlins Smart EC system.
• DUCATI QUICK SHIFTER (DQS): Electronic system derived from racing that allows you to change gears without using the clutch and without closing the throttle when shifting to a higher gear.
• DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT (DRL): These are the daytime running lights that are used to comply with the obligation to use dipped headlights during the day.
• DUCATI TRACTION CONTROL (DTC): Traction control is a system that prevents (or limits) spin of the rear wheel under acceleration. Gently manages engine clearance recovery, modulating the torque delivered and avoiding the peak that can occur when clearance recovery is complete, so as to make it even easier and more predictable. acceleration out of corners.
• DUCATI WHEELIE CONTROL (DWC): System that controls the wheelie and allows you to achieve maximum acceleration performance with ease and safety.
• ENGINE BRAKE CONTROL (EBC): The EBC helps riders to optimize the stability of the bike in extreme cornering conditions, balancing the forces to which the rear tire is subjected in conditions of intensive application of the engine brake.
• RIDE-BY-WIRE SYSTEM: Also known as electronic accelerator, it is a system that electronically manages the opening and closing of the throttle (s).
• VEHICLE HOLD CONTROL (VHC): Allows easier uphill starts even with a passenger and fully loaded bike. When the brake lever is pulled firmly, the system holds the vehicle stationary by activating the rear brake for several seconds until further acceleration or braking takes place. Easy to use, it ensures optimal bike control and maximum safety.
• DUCATI CORNERING LIGHT (DCL): LED lights that turn on in the direction of the road, according to a defined lean angle when the bike is facing a curve, allowing the rider to better see the road

Features

• SUPERBIKE ENGINE: Desmosedici Stradale - The Multistrada V4 RS is the only Multistrada powered by the Desmosedici Stradale, the MotoGP-derived engine used on the Panigale and the Streetfighter. Smooth and uniform at low to medium revs, and electrifying at high rpm. The Multistrada V4 RS version delivers maximum power of 180 hp, ten more than the Multistrada V4.
• UNMISTAKABLE DUCATI SOUND: Supported by desmodromic timing, the aluminum STM EVO-SBK dry clutch invokes the unmistakable Ducati sound. Combined with the exhaust, it creates a sound that stands out for its deep timbre at low revs and superbike roar at high rpm.
• DESIGNED FOR COMFORT: As on the Multistrada V4, the rear bank on the Multistrada V4 RS is deactivated when the bike is stationary and when the engine temperature exceeds 158° F to improve thermal comfort.
• PURE EXCLUSIVITY. MAXIMUM SPORTS ATTITUDE: The Multistrada V4 RS pushes Ducati sports DNA in the Big Dual family to the extreme, ensuring an unparalleled mix of electrifying performance and comfort.
• DRY CLUTCH AND DUCATI CORSE PERFORMANCE OIL: The Multistrada V4 RS mounts the STM EVO-SBK dry clutch in billet aluminum. A component that not only makes for a smoother ride when braking and shifting but also creates a sound that is unmistakably Ducati, with its distinctive timbre when the clutch is disengaged, deep tone at low revs, and superbike roar at high rpm. The dry clutch allows the Multistrada V4 RS to be used with the new Ducati Corse Performance Oil Powered by Shell Advance, the result of collaboration between Ducati Corse and Shell in Superbike and MotoGP.
• ÖHLINS SMART EC 2.0 ELECTRONIC SUSPENSION: The Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension guarantees unrivaled performance during sports use thanks to the use of an “event-based” system, just like the Panigale V4 S and Streetfighter V4 S. The system, which self-regulates based on the rider’s riding style, has been recalibrated to achieve a better balance between relaxed riding comfort and sports riding support.
• SINGLE-SIDED SWINGARM: Based on a single-sided swingarm, the suspension ensures elegance and contributes to the aesthetic of the Multistrada V4 RS.
• MARCHESINI FORGED ALUMINUM WHEELS: The Marchesini forged aluminum wheels offer total precision over mixed sections and increased speed in reaching the apex, as well as nearly a 6 lb weight saving with respect to cast wheels.
• PIRELLI DIABLO ROSSO IV CORSA TIRES: Measuring 120/70 at the front and 190/55 at the rear, the Diablo Rosso IV Corsa tires are the highest-performing Pirelli tires in the road sport segment. They offer excellent grip in acceleration and more rubber to the road mid-turn.
• RACE RIDING MODE: Full Power Mode is introduced on the Multistrada V4 RS, associated by default with the Race Riding Mode, for maximum power in all gears and a prompt throttle response.
