Ducati’s Multistrada has always been ridiculously good on the street—like, sportbike levels of performance. In the dirt, it has been known to be capable and even good, but it hasn’t been the dominant player. There have been some variants throughout its four generations that have upped the Italian adventure bike’s off-road game. For 2023 the Multistrada V4 Rally puts its off-pavement performance on par with its tarmac prowess. Should BMW start worrying about its überpopular and very capable R 1250 GS Adventure’s status as the bike that all big ADVs are measured by?

Cycle World’s British contributor Adam Child just got back from the V4 Rally’s press launch on the Italian island of Sardinia, and after plenty of time in the saddle riding on the street and dirt\, it’s looking like the added suspension travel, larger fuel tanks, and additional comfort has transformed the Multi V4 from a street-focused ADV to an off-road shredder. Check out his full review here.
