Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally: Test it for free for one month

Ducati and MOTORRAD magazine are giving away four test slots for the new Multistrada V4 Rally – for four weeks, free of charge, including 200 euros in fuel money. The application deadline is 7 June 2026.

The offer at a glance

Anyone who has always wanted to know how a Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally performs in real everyday use now has the chance of a lifetime. Ducati Deutschland and the MOTORRAD editorial team are inviting readers to take part in the 2026 Experience: Four applicants will be selected and given the bike in full from 24 July to 21 August 2026.

The handover takes place in person at Ducati headquarters in Neuburg an der Donau, where Ducati technicians will provide detailed instruction on operation, electronics and assistance systems – from radar cruise control and Skyhook suspension to seat-height lowering. The motorcycle must be returned no later than 21 August to a Ducati partner near the winner's place of residence.

What the Multistrada V4 Rally has to offer

The Multistrada V4 Rally 2026 is the long-distance travel flagship of the range: a 1,158-cm³ V4 engine with 170 PS and 123.8 Nm, plus a 30-litre tank, 200 mm of suspension travel, a 19-inch wire-spoked front wheel and 230 mm of ground clearance. This makes it a serious adventure bike for both tarmac and gravel.

The complete electronics package comes as standard: adaptive cruise control (ACC), blind spot detection (BSD), forward collision warning (FCW), Ducati Skyhook Suspension EVO, cornering ABS, TFT colour display with navigation and DQS 2.0 quickshifter. New for 2026: the MotoGP-derived Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO), which simulates 70 virtual sensors and makes the control systems even more precise.

How to apply

Applications are submitted directly via Ducati – simply by using an online form. Anyone among the four winners will be notified by email. Given the high demand in previous years, applying early is recommended.
