There’s a tendency in the motorcycle world to expect every new model year to bring more power, more electronics, less weight, or some other number manufacturers can put in bold type on a press release. Ducati apparently didn’t get that memo with the 2027 Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak. Because if you were hoping for a huge mechanical overhaul, well, I hope you like graphics. A lot.
For 2027, Ducati has given the Pikes Peak a fresh livery inspired by its Desmosedici GP MotoGP bike and Panigale V4 R WorldSBK racer. It was created by Centro Stile Ducati together with Drudi Performance, and yeah, it looks properly expensive and appropriately Italian. In North America, black wheels come standard, while red forged wheels are available as an accessory if subtlety has never been among your priorities.
