GRANTURISMO ERA — V4 REVOLUTION

Total break with Multistrada history: V-twin Testastretta replaced by the 1158cc 170hp Granturismo V4 with conventional spring valves (37,500km valve service) — aluminium monocoque frame and the world's first production motorcycle with front and rear radar (ACC + BSD). Ducati's best-seller from 2021.
