NEW DELHI: Ducati's Multistrada V2 price list shows Rs 19,26,000 for the V2 and Rs 21,42,000 for the V2 S as their respective starting prices, ex-showroom India. The main equipment difference is mechanical suspension on the V2 and electronic Skyhook suspension on the S. Price as of October 26, 2026, 23:24 IST.
| Variant | Official starting price, ex-showroom India | Suspension |
|---|---|---|
| Multistrada V2 | Rs 19,26,000 | Fully adjustable mechanical suspension |
| Multistrada V2 S | Rs 21,42,000 | Electronic Ducati Skyhook Suspension |
Starting prices and colour choices
Ducati's India price menu supplies a starting figure for each model, rather than a complete colour-by-colour quotation. The model page shows Ducati Red for the V2 and Ducati Red or Storm Green for the V2 S. It does not provide separately confirmed Indian prices for those S colour choices in the pages checked.
The S figure above therefore describes the model's advertised entry price. It should not be read as confirmation that every colour or accessory combination costs the same. Registration, insurance and additional equipment are also outside the scope of this ex-showroom comparison.
What electronic suspension changes
The standard V2 already has adjustable suspension. Moving to the S brings electronic control through Ducati Skyhook Suspension, rather than introducing adjustment for the first time. Ducati lists suspension travel of 170 mm at both ends and a 45 mm front fork in its technical explanation.
The S also lets the rider choose suspension settings independently of the riding mode. That separation is useful in understanding the upgrade: a rider can change the suspension response without having to change the selected engine-response profile at the same time.
On a touring motorcycle, that distinction is about how the chassis responds to changing use, not a bigger engine. The headline prices represent different equipment approaches around the same basic motorcycle, so suspension specification deserves as much attention as the badge on the side panel.
The engine is tuned around touring use
Both versions use an 890 cc twin-cylinder engine. Ducati's current India technical table lists 85 kW at 10,750 rpm and 92.1 Nm at 8,250 rpm. It uses variable intake-valve timing, a feature intended to broaden the engine's response across different operating conditions.
The model's engineering explanation describes a larger flywheel for smoother low-speed behaviour and gearing tailored to touring. It highlights a short first gear for low-speed use and a longer sixth gear for motorway running. These details explain the intended character better than peak power alone.
Ducati Quick Shift 2.0 is included in the specification. Its gear-drum sensor helps manage shifts, while the motorcycle retains a six-speed transmission. The company's engine material also describes a more powerful alternator for the touring application, reflecting the different demands of this version of the twin.
Seat height, wheels and passenger space
The standard seat can be set at 830 mm or 850 mm. Ducati also describes accessory seats and a lowering arrangement for the S. Those alternatives should remain separate from the standard figures: an advertised minimum achievable height is not necessarily the seat height of the motorcycle in its basic configuration.
The chassis combines an aluminium monocoque main frame, a steel trellis rear section and an aluminium double-sided swingarm. Ducati's launch explanation also describes revised rider and passenger seating and repositioned luggage attachments, intended to create more room for the passenger's legs and upper body.
The wheel combination is a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear. The fuel tank holds 19 litres. These are concrete pieces of the touring specification, but tank capacity by itself does not establish how far an Indian rider will travel between fuel stops.
For another touring-oriented reference, our Kawasaki 650 range price guide includes the Versys. Our Himalayan 450 price coverage provides a separate adventure-bike comparison point, without making the motorcycles equivalent on equipment or intended use.
Touring features beyond the S badge
The official standard-equipment table lists cruise control, a USB port, full LED lighting and the quickshifter on both versions. The safety list includes cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control and engine-brake control. The base motorcycle is therefore not stripped of the principal rider aids to create the S upgrade.
Ducati also describes an adjustable windscreen, shoulder-area deflectors and air channels directed towards the rider's legs. These are design measures intended to improve wind and thermal comfort, rather than independently measured guarantees for Indian traffic. The Ducati Monster price list covers a different riding format; the Multistrada's distinguishing features here are its touring layout and suspension choices.
