Ducati Unveils New Multistrada 950 for 2017
New smaller, more affordable Ducati Multistrada announced at EICMA
Ducati announced a new member of the Multistrada family today at EICMA show in Milan, Italy. The new Multistrada 950 was designed with versatility in mind making it able to adapt to many road surfaces and riding styles.
The new model takes elements of the larger sister models, the Multistrada 1200 and Multistrada 1200 Enduro, using the lightest components of both to produce a unique motorcycle that is more compact and agile.
At the heart of the new Multistrada 950 is the Testastretta twin-cylinder engine, which delivers 113 hp at 9,000 rpm. The new model is also equipped with a 19″ front wheel, adjustable front and rear shocks, 6.7 in (170 mm) of suspension travel and a shell-cast aluminium double-sided swingarm designed specifically for off-road use.
In addition, Ducati will offer four different Performance accessory packs that allow for the customization of Sport, Urban, Touring or more Enduro elements based on the rider’s needs and riding style. The Multistrada 950 is also available in an “Enduro Pro” configuration designed to enhance off-road performance.
The Ducati Multistrada 950 will be launched in the coming year and will be available in ‘Star White Silk’ (MSRP $14,145) and ‘Ducati Red’ (MSRP $13,995).
