Ducati has launched the 2026 Multistrada V2 in India, with major weight savings, updated features, and compatibility with India’s E20 fuel blend.
2026 Ducati Multistrada V2: Price in India and Variants
The new 2026 Ducati Multistrada V2 is now on sale across all authorised Ducati dealerships in India. Prices start from ₹18.88 lakh (ex-showroom) for the standard variant. The higher-spec Multistrada V2 S is available in two colour options.

With the 2026 update, Ducati has shaved off 18kg, bringing the motorcycle’s dry weight to just 199kg — a big leap in agility and touring efficiency.
Design and Styling
Ducati has retained the iconic Multistrada silhouette, making the V2 instantly recognisable. While the core design remains familiar, subtle updates enhance its modern appeal.
Highlights include:
- A revised LED headlamp with DRLs
- Compact front fascia and tall windscreen
- Pronounced front beak and muscular tank shrouds
- Redesigned exhaust canister
- 19-litre fuel tank for long-distance touring
- Visible aluminium monocoque frame that contributes to the reduced weight
The design perfectly balances aggressive adventure styling with Ducati’s trademark Italian finesse.
Engine, Performance and Specifications
