Ducati has unveiled the 2027 Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak with a new livery inspired by the factory Desmosedici GP and Panigale V4 R race bikes. Designed by Ducati Centro Stile with Drudi Performance, the new graphics add a stronger motorsport character to the performance-focused adventure motorcycle.
The updated Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak will arrive in India next year. It retains the 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine, 17-inch wheels and sportier chassis setup of the Pikes Peak variant.
Sportier Design
The new livery combines Ducati’s racing colours and graphic elements, while the motorcycle also gets several carbon-fibre components and a street-legal titanium Akrapovič silencer.
Other styling highlights include:
- 19-inch front and 20-inch rear? No, 17-inch forged wheels front and rear
- Gold-anodised Ohlins fork sliders
- Smoked low windscreen
- Ducati Corse badge on the front beak
- Carbon-fibre front mudguard and beak
- Five-spoke forged aluminium wheels
The Pikes Peak continues to use a single-sided swingarm and Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tyres, sized 120/70 ZR17 at the front and 190/55 ZR17 at the rear.
170 hp V4 Engine
The 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine produces 170 hp at 10,750 rpm and 124 Nm at 9,000 rpm. A counter-rotating crankshaft, derived from Ducati’s MotoGP technology, is designed to reduce gyroscopic inertia.
The Race Riding Mode gets a dedicated rev-limiter strategy, while the quickshifter receives calibration for more aggressive downshifts.
Sportier Chassis and Electronics
The Pikes Peak features Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active suspension with 170mm of wheel travel at both ends. Its riding position is also sportier, with higher and rear-set footpegs and a lower, narrower handlebar.
The electronics package includes:
- Four Power Modes and five Riding Modes
- Cornering ABS
- Ducati Wheelie Control and Traction Control
- Engine Brake Control
- Ducati Vehicle Observer
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Blind Spot Detection
- Forward Collision Warning
- 6.5-inch TFT display

Final Take
The 2027 Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak receives a visual update rather than a major mechanical overhaul. Its new race-inspired livery, 170 hp V4 engine, Ohlins suspension and 17-inch wheels continue to position it as the sportiest interpretation of Ducati’s Multistrada.
