New from Ducati for 2022 is its Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak ($28,995). This is a variation of Ducati’s Multistrada V4 adventure motorcycle, which debuted for 2021. It’s positioned as an adventure-sport model with a 17-inch forged front wheel instead of the standard model’s 19-inch hoop; think along the lines of BMW’s S 1000 XR.

The Pikes Peak is still powered by Ducati’s fabulous 1,158cc V-4. We really like this engine, which is based on the Panigale V4 superbike powertrain we fell in love with many years ago. It has a lot of power, loads of character, creamy smoothness, a handsome sound, and no annoying vibration. It does suck the fuel, however, so it’s a good thing Ducati fitted a nearly 6-gallon fuel tank, so you’re going to have some capacity.
Suspension-wise, this Multi is fitted with Öhlins semi-active suspension versus the Marzocchi semi-active components on the Multistrada V4 S. We didn’t get a chance to truly whale on this bike during its official US press introduction, due to rain and slippery road surfaces, but based on our experience with the Panigale V4 S, the suspension package almost certainly kicks butt...
