Misano Adriatico/Borgo Panigale, 12 September 2025 – Ducati unveils the new RS range at the San Marino and Rimini Riviera GP. The Diavel V4 RS and the Multistrada V4 RS arrived in the pit lane of the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, ridden by the two Ducati Lenovo team riders, concluding the story told in the presentation video, in which Marc Márquez and Pecco Bagnaia engage in a thrilling remote game, creating a spectacular showdown that highlights the soul and performance of each bike.

The new RS range is designed for those who live Ducati as an absolute passion and recognize excellence at first sight. An unparalleled experience, reserved for those who desire the best and seek the utmost in performance, lightness, and style. A range whose mission is to create models that represent the pinnacle of sporting excellence in their respective families , characterized by racing performance and technology and made unique by distinctive liveries, exclusive components, and high-quality materials such as titanium and carbon fibre.

The Diavel V4 RS and Multistrada V4 RS are numbered series models that, thanks to the Desmosedici Stradale engine and exclusive carbon fibre and titanium components, bring their respective worlds closer to that of Superbike.

The 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale engine combines smoothness at low and medium revs with a spirited and sporty personality at high revs, the result of a very broad power delivery curve achieved thanks to desmodromic distribution. Smooth in its response at low revs, the V4 becomes thrilling near the redline, accompanied by the characteristic exhaust note of the Twin Pulse firing order, which, during acceleration, becomes exhilarating as the revs rise.

Diavel V4 RS: 0 to 100 in just two and a half seconds
The Diavel name has always been synonymous with blistering acceleration. With the new V4 RS, thanks to the MotoGP-derived Desmosedici Stradale engine with its counter-rotating crankshaft, Ducati pushes the limit even further.

The Diavel V4 RS, long and low thanks to technical solutions that bring it closer to dragsters, is in fact the Ducati with the best acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h. Thanks to this, and thanks to the 182 horsepower of its Desmo V4 engine and a sophisticated and effective electronics package that allows its rider to maximize performance, the V4 RS achieves acceleration rates that were simply unthinkable for a street-legal motorcycle until now. In the hands of Marc Márquez, the Diavel V4 RS has proven capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.52 seconds.

The riding experience on the Diavel V4 RS is unique, thanks to its spirited and thrilling power delivery and the unmistakable sound of the Desmosedici Stradale engine with dry clutch. The Diavel V4 RS can command attention at low speeds but also excites in sporty riding, thanks to its Öhlins suspension, aluminium single-sided swingarm, Panigale V4-derived braking system, and forged wheels designed specifically for this model.

The technical and stylistic details that characterize the Diavel V4 RS's livery make it unforgettable. The RS logo, designed by the Centro Stile, appears on the livery, on the hands-free ignition key, in the dashboard graphics, and on the rear cylinder head cover, where the bike's serial number is also located. And the experience of riding this unique motorcycle will be made even more special by the dedicated dashboard animation at key-on.

The Diavel V4 RS's design is completely new. Every element—from the air intakes to the single-seat tailpiece, to the mudguards and tank covers, all made of carbon fibre—contributes to an even more distinctive and sporty look, reducing the bike's weight by 3 kg without compromising the Diavel's unmistakable identity.

Multistrada V4 RS: track performance, Multistrada soul
The first Multistrada V4 RS was born in 2023 with the mission of becoming the sportiest, most sophisticated, and most distinctive Multistrada ever. A mission accomplished thanks to the Desmosedici Stradale engine, a chassis capable of offering rider and passenger a perfect blend of sportiness and comfort , and a latest-generation electronics package. This formula, appreciated and rewarded by the sportiest Multistrada riders, led to the success of the V4 RS, thus encouraging Ducati to create what is now the RS range.

With its 180 horsepower V4 engine, featuring desmodromic timing with dry clutch and an Akrapovič silencer, Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension, and the all-new, dedicated forged wheels, the Multistrada V4 RS offers unmistakable performance and riding sensations, while maintaining the balance that has always distinguished the Multistrada family.

On the new Multistrada V4 RS, every component, every detail has been chosen with the sole aim of creating the sportiest and most exciting touring bike ever. The electronics package has been updated with the Ducati Vehicle Observer algorithm, derived from Ducati's experience in MotoGP, which simulates the presence of 70 sensors for more precise and safer electronic controls. The chassis, featuring an event-based Öhlins front fork and shock absorber, is even more effective thanks to new suspension strategies, a larger 280 mm rear disc, and a braking system with ABS cornering. The ultra-lightweight titanium rear subframe, unique in the world, is now sized to accommodate a top case.

The new Ducati Multistrada V4 RS combines the unmistakable Multistrada line, elegant and dynamic, with the new RS livery. Various carbon fibre components, such as the front mudguard, handguards, heat shields, and front beak, along with forged wheels, a lightweight lithium-ion battery, and a techno-polymer tail fairing (designed specifically for this model) mounted on the titanium subframe, contribute to a weight saving of 2 kg compared to the Multistrada Pikes Peak.

The Ducati Multistrada V4 RS is produced in a numbered series. The sequential numbering is shown on a black anodized aluminium plate attached to the triple clamp and adorned with the Italian flag. And here too, the dashboard will greet the rider with a dedicated animation at key-on.

As with all models in the Multistrada family, Ducati offers the exclusive "4Ever Multistrada" warranty for the Multistrada V4 RS, valid for four years with unlimited mileage, guaranteed by the Bologna-based manufacturer's entire European dealer network.

Availability of the RS range
In Europe, deliveries of the Multistrada V4 RS will begin in November 2025, while the Diavel V4 RS will arrive in dealerships in December. The United States will follow one month later, with distribution throughout the rest of the world completing in the following months.

A video of the two bikes, featuring the two official riders of the Ducati Lenovo MotoGP team, is available on the Ducati YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzGsJzGNCfvY9x6Ij2XiODw).
