THIS is now THE BEST road bike! | 2022 Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak Press Launch

When I first rode a Pikes Peak model Multistrada back in the day I FELL IN LOVE with it! Now years later, Ducati invited me out to do the press launch for their BRAND NEW Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak so to say I'm excited is a bit of an understatement. This bike is better in every way and to top it all off I got to ride the tires off of it all through beautiful California hills!

Dude! Love it! Thanks for sharing so much footage of me! That bike was a BLAST! Definitely a sleeper for sure.

[@lpete531]

A sleeper? Come on man! Not a sleeper for those who ride them and have been riding them for years! Where have you been?

[@joshherrin]

​@@lpete531 not sure if you understood what I meant when I called it a sleeper. In my opinion when you look at the bike, it looks like a nice Dad bike. Thanks to the adjustability with the electronics you can make it a Grandma bike or a 17-year-old who just found out his girlfriends parents aren't home bike. 😂

[@chellouniquestyle]

@@joshherrin Could you tell me which settings you modified on the bike. Thanks for any assistance! I enjoyed seeing you rip it!

[@joshherrin]

@@chellouniquestyle I put it in race mode and turned the wheelie control, traction control and ABS to the lowest possible setting or off if available and turned the power settings all of the way up. I also adjusted the front and rear suspension to the stiffest setting for a single rider. It is possible to go even stiffer by selecting that you have a passenger and bags on the bike but I didn't feel the need to do that.

[@gfree4244]

Two questions I have…1 how does the suspension compare with the skyhook? Is it different enough concerning the quality of the ride and how the skyhook soaks up the imperfections in the road? 2 concerning ergonomics does the slightly higher position detract from the comfort for someone who might be 6’ tall? 3 Do you think the 19” wheel tames down the handling on the V4S too much? Think I would prefer the 17” as I have on my current MS. Great vid!

[@ihatejunkmails1]

Great review. Thanks for posting. If you have to choose a bike between 1260 Pikes Peak and this V4 Pikes Peak, what would you choose?

Great ride and great footage. Also just got through watching 44 teeth which was also their own spin on reviewing this motorcycle. When I heard this bike was coming out I actually put my order immediately for it knowing that it was the closest sport enthused multistrada Sense my current 1st ducati. Which was the 2014 multi strada 1200 GT.. So I am very excited to hear about all the positive defeat back about the spike getting back to its heritage of being a multi sport bike.🏁🏍💪

I love the multistrada but I see very little sense on the pikes peak (other than single side swingarm ;) ). It's like $5k more than the regular multi and you loose the bags and heatted butt. It will be more track capable than the regular multi but if you want to go to the track go for a Panigale.

[@kilometerfresser2220]

Thats a weapon, a nice one :)

[@joshuamurray86]

The prior model standard multi comes with a 17 inch front, so if you get a used s model you're getting a very similar package. They are all very capable of hardcore sport riding, and unless you are competing you don't need the extras on the pikes peak (though it's no doubt a very cool combination). A multi was the first thing I ever put my knee down on, just a standard S model.

[@GIGABACHI]

It's all good until you have to deal with timing belts and DESMO...😒👎 I like the 1260S but not dealing with the aforementioned B.S.

[@joshuamurray86]

@@GIGABACHI With the exception of 18k services, it's just oil changes. Neither of mine needed adjustment at 18k or 36k. And if the desmo system is still too much then maybe the V4 is the one to get.

That bike would have a home in my dream garage for sure. I haven't been on a pikes peak edition but have been on a v4 and riding that bike was a ahh haa moment for me I totally understand why these bikes are where all bikers will eventually end up.

[@Ritalie]

There is no better engine than a 4 cylinder. The smooth perfect balance, and top end scream. And then you do almost 180 horsepower in a V4 configuration, and you have near Hayabusa levels of performance, with similar low end torque. People who have only ridden a V-Twin have no idea what a real engine feels like. A V-twin always feels like it's going to self destruct at higher RPM's, but a 4 cylinder gets smoother the higher you rev it. A 4 cylinder can be lugged really slow without shaking or chain lash, which is another massive benefit for slow speed driving.

[@martinstenning1769]

Am I right no sky hook suspension on the pikes peak ? I’d rather save a bit of money and get the v4 rally with sky hook suspension & add an after market exhaust 😎

[@NorCalSaint]

The Pikes Peak departs from normal Multi V4 convention in its use of Öhlins latest Smart 2.0 suspension, which is what they refer to as an “event-based” system. It’s the same stuff used in the Panigale V4 S and Streetfighter V4 S. The other Multis’ Skyhook dampers are constantly measuring suspension stroke and speed, but the Smart 2.0 fork and shock also rely more on the bike’s IMU to know when you’re accelerating hard or braking hard or whatever, to also inform the damping. Ducati says it “automatically adjusts the setting according to the user’s riding style… the more the rider pushes to the limit the suspensions get stiffer.” The Smart system provides 6.7 inches wheel travel, front and rear; the Skyhook on the other Multis gives 6.7/7.1 in.

[@briansupermag3918]

Now I have to add this to my dilemma of new bike for 2023. Ducati Diavel V4 , Triumph Rocket 3R, Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes peak. Decisions decisions decisions???

[@Ritalie]

What are the engine RPM's at 75mph? Is the top gear final drive ratio setup for high speed cruising? A major glaring problem with all new bikes is that they do not have an overdrive gear. There must be a manufacturer secret agreement to avoid giving people a proper overdrive. Because most new motorcycles are geared 50% lower than they should be at 70mph. Think about it. With an overdrive gear and 50% reduction in RPM's in 6th gear, you get: Large reduction in emissions, allowing more aggressive tune. Increased valve service intervals. Double the oil filter, spark plug and oil life. Massive reduction in engine heat, engine wear, and vibration. Longer timing chain life. Longer engine life. Massive increase in gas mileage.. (36 mpg is NOT acceptable for a 530 pound vehicle).

[@tomtraynor5384]

KTM 1290's have an overdrive 6th. You need to be going at least about 70 to use it well. I think the theoretical top speed at redline would ne about 200 MPH on my 1290 KTM's. Then the KTM guys complain it's too high and gear it down a tooth or two....

[@vincentbeijing6926]

I agree with you, most bikes are too short geared. A possible reason for engineers not installing an overdrive 6th is that rider may risk to lock the wheel when downshifting in 5th?

[@crustyzimmerman3324]

It cancels the gyroscopic effect of the front wheel. Simples.

Those who are in full racing gear must be professional riders. That's how you determine how good they are - just a hint.

[@alfiethefeline3311]

great bike but price tag is far too high.

[@Ritalie]

The secret is.... Drum-roll..... More cylinders = better driveability. Single cylinder bikes, and unbalanced V-Twins, are just not fun at super low speeds in traffic, or at super high RPM's, at maximum revs. A V4 has better low speed manners. What so many riders don't understand is that a 4 cylinder engine makes the very best street engine, due to how smooth it is. I am not familiar with the newest V-twin engines, but I rode a Suzuki SV1000 V-twin, and it had the V-Strom engine, and it was absolutely horrible compared to a 4 cylinder, because of how intrusive and annoying the engine vibration was. Singles and V-Twins don't like going super slow, because of the drivetrain lash, and they are not as smooth at higher RPM's. There are stories of Harey V-Rod riders that ride a Hayabusa one time, and they switch to a Hayabusa, because it's so much smoother.
