On September 19, 2023, Ducati officially introduced the newest member of the Multistrada family, the 2024 Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour. With a name like that, an informed motorcyclist would probably expect it to be a vehicle packed with all kinds of the bells and whistles that serious touring riders want. Those riders would be right, as this bike comes with a lot of standard features that those who spend long amounts of time in the saddle tend to appreciate.
The heart of the 2024 Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour is, as ever, the 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine. It makes a claimed 170 horsepower and 125 newton-meters (or approximately 92 pound-feet) of torque. Moreover, it was designed with the convenience of long-distance touring riders in mind in terms of maintenance intervals. Ducati recommends oil changes on this engine once every two years or 15,000 kilometers (or 9,000 miles), and valve clearance checks once every 60,000 kilometers (or 36,000 miles).
