Pirelli Powers Ducati’s New Multistrada V4 with Versatile Tire Options
The Ducati Multistrada V4 has set a new benchmark in the adventure travel motorcycle segment. Designed to handle any terrain with unmatched versatility, the fourth-generation Multistrada is paired with a trio of Pirelli’s SCORPION™ tires to ensure top-tier performance on- and off-road.
A Legacy of Collaboration Between Ducati and Pirelli
Since the debut of the original Multistrada in 2003, Pirelli has been integral to the platform’s evolution. The partnership began with SCORPION™ Sync tires and grew stronger with subsequent models adopting the SCORPION™ Trail range. For the new Ducati Multistrada V4, the collaboration deepens with the SCORPION™ Trail II as original equipment and homologation for the SCORPION™ Rally STR and SCORPION™ Rally tires.
Tire Options: Tailored for Versatility
- SCORPION™ Trail II (90/10 On-/Off-Road)
This tire blends the durability and performance of an off-road product with the grip and precision of a sport-touring tire. A proven winner in comparative tests, the SCORPION™ Trail II provides stable handling, excellent wet performance, and high mileage. Designed specifically for the Multistrada V4, these tires epitomize versatility for adventure touring. - SCORPION™ Rally STR (70/30 On-/Off-Road)
For riders craving a more rugged aesthetic and superior off-road capabilities, the SCORPION™ Rally STR balances knobby off-road performance with on-road stability. Ideal for adventurers who split their time between asphalt and dirt, this tire offers reliable grip and handling across diverse terrains. - SCORPION™ Rally (50/50 On-/Off-Road)
With its roots in desert racing, the SCORPION™ Rally is purpose-built for hardcore off-road riders. It delivers maximum traction and durability across sand, gravel, and rocky landscapes while maintaining stability and control on the road. These tires are optimized for the high demands of large displacement enduro bikes like the Multistrada V4.
Standard Fitment and Wheel Options
All Ducati Multistrada V4 models, including the V4 S and V4 S Sport, come equipped with Pirelli SCORPION™ Trail II tires in sizes 120/70 ZR19 (front) and 170/60 ZR17 (rear). Riders can choose between light alloy cast wheels or spoked wheels, both equipped with the same robust tire setup. The optional homologation for SCORPION™ Rally STR and SCORPION™ Rally extends the bike’s adaptability for off-road escapades.
A Tire for Every Adventure
Pirelli’s dedication to innovation ensures that Ducati Multistrada V4 owners have the freedom to explore without limits. Whether dominating highways, gravel trails, or desert dunes, these tires deliver performance, safety, and reliability that match the Multistrada’s uncompromising spirit.
For enthusiasts of the adventure travel motorcycle lifestyle, this combination of Ducati engineering and Pirelli tire technology offers the perfect setup for long-distance tours, backcountry exploration, and everything in between.
