Ducati Multistrada V4 RS – Carbon refinement by Ilmberger Carbon for the top touring model from Bologna
With the Ducati Multistrada V4 RS, Bologna has taken the adventure touring bike to a new level: an uncompromising top model that combines the long-distance comfort of the Multistrada family with the sharpness of a supersport bike. Anyone who customizes this exceptional motorcycle with high-quality carbon from Ilmberger Carbon emphasizes its sporty character while also reducing weight in crucial areas. Carbon fiber components made in Germany add both visual and technical highlights that go far beyond the standard production level.
The abbreviation “RS” has traditionally stood at Ducati for the most exclusive version of a model series. The Multistrada V4 RS is aimed at riders seeking maximum performance, premium materials, and a distinctive appearance – and this is exactly where refined carbon comes into play.
What makes the Ducati Multistrada V4 RS so special?
At the heart of the Multistrada V4 RS is the V4 Granturismo engine with a displacement of 1,158 cc. In the RS version, the engine produces around 180 hp and is therefore more eager to rev and reaches higher revs than the other models in the series. An open dry clutch provides the characteristic metallic sound and underlines the sporty ambition of this machine.
Ducati combines the powerful four-cylinder engine with equipment derived from the racing and sport segment:
- semi-active Öhlins suspension with electronic damping control for both comfort and precision
- forged aluminum wheels to reduce unsprung mass
- Brembo Stylema brake calipers for consistent braking performance
- an Akrapovič titanium silencer that sharpens both sound and performance character
- comprehensive electronic assistance systems including multiple riding modes, cornering ABS, and traction control
Even from the factory, the Multistrada V4 RS features numerous visible carbon elements and a striking paint finish. This sporty foundation can be consistently developed and refined further with the carbon components from Ilmberger.
Why carbon from Ilmberger? Directly from the OEM manufacturer for your Multistrada
Ilmberger Carbon is one of the established original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the motorcycle segment and supplies renowned manufacturers with carbon fiber components. This very experience flows into the accessory range for the Ducati Multistrada V4 RS. The product range expands the original Ducati Performance catalog with additional components and opens up further possibilities for customization.
Carbon – also known as CFRP or fiber-reinforced composite material – impresses with an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio. Compared to standard production parts made of plastic or aluminum, carbon fiber components noticeably save weight without sacrificing stability. The elegant fiber weave also gives the Multistrada a premium, technical appearance.
How are Ilmberger carbon parts made?
Production is carried out using so-called prepreg carbon. These are carbon fiber mats that are already pre-impregnated with a precisely measured amount of resin. Under pressure and heat, these mats cure in an autoclave – a heated pressure vessel that enables a particularly high fiber volume content. The result is components with maximum stiffness at minimal weight and a flawless surface structure.
Long-lasting protection is provided by a TÜV-certified plastic powder coating. This resists UV radiation, stone chips, and weather influences significantly better than conventional clear coats and preserves the shine of the carbon weave for many years. Many components come with an ABE (general operating permit), which allows use on public roads without additional registration.
The advantages of carbon refinement at a glance
Upgrading your Multistrada V4 RS with carbon fiber components offers tangible advantages that go far beyond pure appearance:
- Weight savings: Every replaced standard production part reduces mass – improving handling and agility.
- Stability: The high fiber volume content from autoclave production ensures exceptional stiffness.
- Appearance: The visible carbon weave gives the motorcycle an exclusive, sporty look.
- Aerodynamics: Precisely manufactured fairing and add-on parts blend harmoniously into the bike’s lines.
- Perfect fit: Installation is ready-to-mount using the original mounting points.
Whether subtle accents on the cockpit and tank or a comprehensive carbon conversion – the components can be combined step by step. This allows you to design your Ducati Multistrada V4 RS exactly according to your ideas and create a unique one-off with factory-level quality.
