Ducati Multistrada V4 (2025): Carbon refinement by Ilmberger Carbon

The Ducati Multistrada V4 embodies the idea of the uncompromising adventure tourer: confident on long-distance rides, agile through winding bends, and powerful whenever the road opens up. In the 2025 model year, Ducati’s big touring machine remains the flagship of the Multistrada family – and with carbon parts from Ilmberger Carbon, its already striking appearance can be sharpened even further. Anyone looking for lightweight construction, premium looks, and production-ready quality will find an upgrade in the combination of the Multistrada V4 and Ilmberger Carbon that is as emotional as it is functional.

What technically distinguishes the Ducati Multistrada V4?

At the heart of the Multistrada V4 is the V4 Granturismo engine with around 1,158 cc of displacement. From this 90-degree four-cylinder, Ducati extracts around 170 hp as well as a strong torque plateau that delivers forceful acceleration across a wide rev range. Long service intervals and smooth running characteristics make the engine suitable for everyday use without sacrificing the typical Ducati punch.

Beyond the drivetrain, the model range also scores with an extensive electronics package. This includes various riding modes, lean-angle-sensitive ABS control, traction and wheelie control, and an easy-to-read TFT display. The S variants expand the range with semi-active suspension and – depending on equipment – radar-based assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control. The result is a motorcycle equally suited to touring two-up with luggage, sporty solo riding, and occasional excursions off the asphalt.

• V4 Granturismo engine with strong power delivery across the entire rev range
• Comprehensive rider assistance with multiple riding modes and lean-angle-sensitive control electronics
• Comfortable touring suspension, with semi-active damping on S models
• Versatile application profile from sport tourer to adventure tourer

Why carbon on the Multistrada V4?

Carbon fiber is far more than a visual statement. The composite material – CFRP for short – combines very low weight with high stiffness and dimensional stability. On an adventure tourer like the Multistrada V4, every gram saved on unsprung and exposed components has a positive effect on handling and dynamics, while the typical visible carbon look gives the motorcycle a premium, technical character.

Carbon parts are also resistant to corrosion and retain their shape even under thermal and mechanical stress. This material really shows its strengths on fairing elements, at the front end, and along the drivetrain: it combines lightweight construction, robustness, and a refined surface that noticeably enhances the Ducati’s appearance.

Ilmberger Carbon: Manufacturing quality at OEM level

Ilmberger Carbon manufactures its components from prepreg carbon. Prepregs are carbon fiber fabrics already pre-impregnated with resin, which are cured under high pressure and at a defined temperature in an autoclave – a heated pressure vessel. The result is a particularly high fiber volume content, ensuring maximum stiffness with minimal weight while also guaranteeing a uniform, clean visible carbon finish.

A key quality feature is the surface finishing: instead of conventional clear coat, Ilmberger uses a TÜV-certified plastic powder coating. This permanently protects the carbon against UV radiation, stone chips, and weather influences, preserving its gloss over many seasons. Many parts come with an ABE – the general operating permit that allows use on public roads without individual approval.

Especially relevant for Ducati owners: Ilmberger is the manufacturer of the official Ducati Performance carbon parts. For your Multistrada V4, this means identical material and an identical surface finish to the original Ducati components – with no compromises in fit or appearance. Installation is ready to mount using the original mounting points, so the parts integrate directly into the standard design concept.

What are the key benefits of carbon refinement?

A large range of carbon components is available for the Multistrada V4, covering virtually all visible areas of the motorcycle. This allows the adventure tourer to be transformed step by step into a unique custom machine – from subtle accents to a comprehensive visible carbon look.

• Weight saving: noticeably lighter than comparable standard parts while fully retaining strength
• Stability: high stiffness and dimensional accuracy thanks to prepreg production in the autoclave
• Appearance: premium visible carbon with a uniform weave pattern and deep gloss
• Protection: TÜV-certified coating against UV, stone chips, and weather
• Fit: ready-to-mount installation at the original mounting points, many parts with ABE
