Ducati completes the color range of the Multistrada 950 S for the Model Year 2021 by introducing a new “GP White” livery, which adds to the classic Ducati Red color option.

The “GP White” livery takes its inspiration from the Ducati MotoGP graphics and is based on a color scheme that alternates white and grey, maintaining the Ducati touch in some red details, like in the frame and in the graphics on the alloy wheels. This new colorway was designed by the Borgo Panigale motorcycle manufacturer to add a little more sportiness to the Multistrada 950 S.

The 950 combines Multistrada 1260 and Multistrada 1260 Enduro design features, taking the ‘lightest’ elements from both. The front end – with the distinctive horizontally extended headlight, the ‘beak’, adjustable screen, side ‘wings’ and tank – takes its cue from the Multistrada 1260. The rider’s seat, passenger seat, rear grab rail, the design of the exhaust and swingarm, and the wheel sizes are, instead, taken from the Multistrada 1260 Enduro. This mix has produced a bike with classic Multistrada lines that’s also more compact.

The bike features 19″/17” wheels and a reduced seat height (840 mm), while the technological equipment increases safety and comfort in all conditions. The S version of the model features electronic suspension with Ducati Skyhook Suspension Evo (DSS) system, Ducati Quick Shift up & down (DQS), full-LED headlamp with Ducati Cornering Lights (DCL), 5” color TFT display, Hands Free system, Cruise Control and backlit handlebar controls, as well as Bosch ABS Cornering, which increases the active safety of the vehicle. Starting from MY21, the entire Multistrada 950 range, powered by the Testastretta 11° engine (937 cc and 113 hp), will comply with Euro 5 standard in all countries where it is in force.

Availability

The Multistrada 950 S “GP White,” with spoked wheels, will be available in U.S. Ducati dealerships beginning this August with an MSRP starting at $17,595. Availability in Canada and Mexico will follow in Q4 of 2020.
