Ducati Diavel V4 RS And Multistrada V4 RS Break Cover!

Ducati has unveiled the Diavel V4 RS and Multistrada V4 RS, two new motorcycles that form the company's RS range. Both bikes are powered by the brand's 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine and use carbon fibre and titanium components. The motorcycles were revealed at the San Marino and Rimini Riviera GP at Misano World Circuit.

Ducati Diavel V4 RS sets acceleration benchmark

The Ducati Diavel V4 RS produces 182 bhp at 11,750 rpm and 120 Nm at 9,500rpm. Ducati claims it  can do the 0-100 kmph acceleration in just 2.52 seconds, making it the fastest-accelerating road-legal motorcycle in the company's lineup.

The 2026 Diavel V4 RS features a counter-rotating crankshaft derived from MotoGP technology and a long, low profile inspired by dragster design. Weight has been reduced by 2.9 kg compared to the standard bike through the use of carbon fibre components found in the air intakes, single-seat tail piece, mudguards and tank covers.

Technical specifications include fully adjustable Öhlins suspension, an aluminium single-sided swingarm, Brembo braking system with ABS cornering, and 17-inch forged aluminium wheels fitted with Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tyres.

Multistrada V4 RS targets sport touring segment

The Multistrada V4 RS, first introduced in 2023, produces 180 bhp and features Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active electronic suspension. The bike includes 70 sensors as part of Ducati's Vehicle Observer algorithm for electronic control systems.

Updates for the new model include improved suspension strategies, a larger 280 mm rear disc, and a titanium rear subframe sized to accommodate a top case. Weight reduction of 1.99 kg has been achieved compared to the Multistrada Pikes Peak through carbon fibre components and a lightweight lithium-ion battery.

The bike includes front and rear radar technology for adaptive cruise control and blind spot detection, along with a 6.5-inch TFT dashboard.

Limited production models

Both bikes will be produced in a numbered series. The sequential numbering appears on a black anodised aluminium plate featuring the Italian flag, mounted on the triple clamp of the Multistrada V4 RS and displayed on the rear cylinder head cover of the Diavel V4 RS.

Each model features dedicated RS livery and dashboard animations. The Diavel V4 RS includes a hands-free ignition key with laser-etched "RS" branding.

Ducati has made a video featuring the official Ducati Lenovo MotoGP riders available on its YouTube channel showcasing both motorcycles.
