Latest documents filed with the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reveal that the upcoming new model in the Ducati Multistrada, the Multistrada V4, will be powered by a 1,158 cc version of the Ducati Stradale V4 engine. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) documents filed with the US NHTSA reveals how VIN codes for Ducati bikes reveal the engine displacement. The latest engine code used in the documents is “V’ which represents the 1,158 cc, liquid-cooled, four-cylinder engine with four valves per cylinder. The “A” is for the Scrambler Sixty’s 399 cc, air-cooled v-twin, while the “N” code is apparently for the 1,103 cc V4 engine used in the Panigale V4 and Streetfighter V4.
Not much else can be said about this new adventure-bike model, apart from the information that we’ve collected in the past few months. This includes the use of a double-sided swingarm, bigger 19-inch front wheel, the possible use of ‘radar technology’, and many more.
