- Ducati Multistrada V4s - Rule all Roads? | Knox Armour
Ducati’s claim that its flagship Multistrada V4 adventure bike will exercise ultimate authority over the terrain it rides upon is a powerful one. And if you are making statements like that, you’d better bring your “A” game. But Ducati haven’t brought their “A” game, they’ve redefined it.
In this piece we take the Ducati Multistrada and put it through its paces here in the beautiful English Lake District, on the road, off road and even on the beach!

The quality of your short films are second to none. More please!!! Well done.
Many thanks Richard, really appreciate the kind feedback! Aaron KNOX
@@KnoxArmour Yep, cinematography and editing are second to none, but you ruined the experience with the pointless invasive musac.
Here are two thoughts you could apply to your decision making in this regard:
Would I or anyone else sit and listen to that ‘music’?
Do all motorcycles actually provide their own unique theme tunes?
If you can honestly answer Yes and No respectively, carrying on with your present plan will no doubt leave you with your currently undeservedly low viewer figures.
Ride safe.
Peace
This is sooo true! Well done!!
Amazing! It is NOT a review, it is a big beautiful Movie about beautiful bike! So nice and soft picture and music!
I'm an early owner. Hit the 35.000km mark within the first about 1.5 years and still in love with it. I would buy it today again, without any regret.
Thank you for this video, on the snowy days now, watching this kind of video is as good as riding itself :)
Thanks Toni, sounds great! Think we're all looking forward to Spring! Aaron KNOX
What did I just see here? This production is over the charts. Extreamly well done. 👍
Great review. I’ve owned an original multi 1200S, the upgraded 1200S and the later 1260 Pikes Peak and swapped to the v4s a few months back. As you say the bike is stunning , refined but fun, great build, good
Looking, comfortable. Best bike I’ve ever ridden
Forget the bike, what a video!! Well done you all!! 👍👍
I cant think of the amount of effort you put in that video. Thank you. Love my V4S, very comfy bike, the radars are game changer. Glad I chose the Multi over the GS.
Thabks, yes a lot of work, but we loved doing this one in particular! Aaron Knox
The best Multistrada V4 review I've seen so far. Detailed review points, gorgeous footage showing an adventure bike being properly used offroad, no pointless blathering vlogging nonsense, and all this by a moto clothing company!
Many thanks glad you think so 😊 Aaron Knox
Fantastic video I applaud the production. I'm still in love with my V4s Sport after 14 months and 10,000 miles. Best bike I ever owned, smiles to the gallon👍
Thanks Alan, thats awesome 👌. Aaron Knox
You can make a review about a vacuum cleaner. If it’s this good I’d watch it. Great work guys! Badass gear as well!
Production quality is amazing on these reviews, Hats off to everyone involved.
Thanks, yes its a team effort now 👏. Thanks Aaron Knox
Ducati should let you do the next commercial for them ... awesome video! And even as a GD driver I have to admit that the V4 is a fantastic machine ... if Ducati would have launched the V4 at the same time like the 1250 I probably would have gone with the Ducati ;-)
Many thanks, so glad you think so!! Aaron Knox
Best bike I have ever owned. It is thursty if you ride it fast, but I have had 215 miles out of a tank cruising on the motorway at 70-75mph with panniers fitted, so it does depend how you ride it. I have the full Akra system fitted which not only looks great but it sounds awesome too, it's not too loud to be annoying on longer tours adds a bit of power and torque as well.
Yes, fuel economy does seem to vary owner to owner, but we can only share our own experience. Thanks, Aaron KNOX
The video quality is literally unmatched. Beautifully made. Keep up the good work. Pls make a similar one for tiger1200.
Many thanks, really appreciate the kind feedback! Aaron KNOX
Such an amazing cinematography and great review of the bike ! Sit back, relax and enjoy watching it!
Top !!
Many thanks Konrad! Aaron Knox
Beautifully done in the Lake District and the cinematography is captivating. Video editing is superb, too.
Ducati should pay you for this.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback, really appreciate it 😀. Aaron Knox
It’s rockin my mine I love getting on it every time . And made my riding experience great even in the rain which I usually hate.
I bet you do, our test was mostly in terrible conditions even though it doesnt look like it on camera, the Multi was awesome! Aaron KNOX
I can confirm each single word, 15K km and 14 months after.
Yet again another beautiful review! I really admire the hard work you guys put into making the videos. The V4 is indeed an awesome machine, poetry in motion!
Many thanks Robert. This was a really great piece to put together!!
I watch all your videos regardless of the subject. You do astonishingly great work. Thank you!
Outstanding review and superb cinematography. I'm going to test ride one this weekend so, the timing of finding this review could not be better.
Many thanks Jack, sure you'll love it! Aaron KNOX
My first Ducati and I feel I got the best one. 2022 V4S Sport. Emotion sells motorcycles and the emotive feeling I get from your piece is how I feel when I ride.
Great vid guys, as always I shall say. Beautiful 🏴
Thx for this high quality Video, this is Fun to view 👍 I own one and i am really happywith it 🤗
You sold me on a new Ducati Multistrada and a trip to the Lake District. Beautiful videography!
Great review and im considering a multistrada myself so was so excited to see you actually tested it in my playground, around the lakes and Askham beach
Glad you enjoyed it! Aaron KNOX
The terrain is amazing! The bike is amazing as well, I traded in a BMW GS 1250 because it's just that special of a bike.
Loved the review, great quality. Many thanks, king regards from Barcelona!
Many thanks, really appreciate it! Aaron KNOX
I mean your review contains emotions, i feel contected to machine emotionally, what a great job guys!
i never found a better multistrada review on internet then this, it is second to none 🙌
Thanks, so glad you enjoyed it! Aaron KNOX
Finally a group that actually takes the the Multi on "Many Roads". Very thorough review and thus value adding for the watcher.
Many thanks, appreciate it! Aaron KNOX
Very tempted by this as a change from my gsa1250
An excellent video, great quality
Nice Video!
Thumbs up ✌
Loved the review, great quality. I'm lucky enough to own a 22 V4S and I've done around 3.5k on it this year but I've never had fuel consumption as bad as you mentioned. They are phenomenal bikes, I love it but hate the Ducati Connect and Sygic apps. I've fitted a Tomtom as I was fed up with the factory set up.
Brilliant video on some of my favourite roads. Been there a few times on my 1260s. Its like been in your own video game. Think it's going to be a v4 for me next.
Thanks Michael. Yes we are certainly blessed with some amazing roads! Aaron KNOX
Wow! Amazing bike and amazing great review! Thaks bro!!
Glad you liked it! Aaron KNOX
I’ve watched this video like 20 times 😂. Yet, it is the main reason I am buying the V4S. I am taking delivery in the next couple of days, will send you pics 😊
Superb vid
My dream bike is Multistrada V4 pikes peak. Bought my tracer 9 gt in 2021 but still eager to get one of those eventually.
amazing video shoot really good
Your video here, along with a few others, convinced me to purchase a 2023 V4S - best bike ever, and I've owned 10 other bikes before this one!!
Thanks Brian, enjoy! All the best, Aaron KNOX
What a great production on this !!! Really enjoyed the feedback on the bike and the awesome scenery you drove through! Top notch
A fantastic review 👌💯👍
Glad you liked it
Great video ! I have a MTS V4S from 21 May 22 and at the moment i'm already at 11.000km ; i enjoy it too much...
Great to hear, what an awesome machine! Aaron KNOX
I test rode this bike a couple of weeks ago along with another bike. I absolutely love it. If they gave it a 6 gallon tank I think you would hardly notice the difference looking at it, but it would make a huge difference as far as range.
Love must refer to human not things
@@johnbrando8248 I suggest changing from indica to sativa
Get the multistrada v4 rally. 30litre tank
Another great review video, really impressed by the production value here, especially from a new channel, way to go hard right from the start 👍
As an aside, I've finally worn my original Knox Recons to the point of failure. I've used then for everything from touring to trackdays as they're so comfortable. What would you recommend to replace them if I didn't want to go full Handroid?
Many thanks, trying our best! Actually the new Knox Oulton glove might be the best option for you. Check it out. Thanks Aaron Knox
너무멋집니당~~
I'm now inspired to invest in some Knox riding apparel.... looks great with the MTS... maybe next spring need to get over the sticker shock of my Pikes Peak V4 first..LOL
Damn….
I need to chose between this and the Streetfighter V4SP.
I’m 30. So I’m not old enough for a Multistrada, they say.
But I do love how it rides and handles.
The Streetfighter ist nice as well.
And a thing of absolute beauty.
If you’re deciding between those two bikes, then you don’t know what you want to do on a motorcycle. Speaking from experience, that’s a problem. Any Touring? Commuting? Two-up? If those are all a “no” then get the streetfighter. Two or more yesses is the Multi. A yes on anything besides commuting: Multi. Done.
Tend to agree 👍
I’m getting one in December.
I’m 90% sold on the SFV4 over the Multi.
I do plan on driving Bilbao to Alicante once a year however. Short enough trip, I think the SF will be comfortable for that kind of ‘tour’ where I’ll be stopping every 1.5to two hours anyhow to look at scenery/take a pee😅.
Will only be ever two up if my wife wants to go for a blast together without her bike…so not that often.
Won’t be commuting at all, weekend/free time bike 👍
The Multis are incredible bikes non the less. I’m not overly sold on the looks however.
Nice video
wish i was rich enough to buy one. For the time being, i can only watch these lovely vids, imagining i'm the one riding that beast.
Ugh. I want one. Fab review and what a trip.
And the slowmo wheelie at 3 seconds really got me. 👌
Test ride tomorrow. Cheers!
Wow! The level of the review is mind-blowing. It is a cinematic quality! 🫠 BTW great bike😁!
Last 2496 km on my Multi V4: 5.4 l/100 km.
Av.speed: 81 km/h.
My tip: Remove the sport maping from the engine when driving normaly. 🙂
get the Rally version, which solves fuel tank size to + 50% cap, and a wider phone charging bay placed on the left side; only defect left is the unsprung front breaking to deal with
Wow that range is a killer. For years I've been saying I won't buy something with less than 200 miles range. Before I moved to more adventure style bikes, I got caught out so many times with the Aprilia Falco SL1000 great bike, but some of the worst fuel economy I've come across.
9:28
“Just little things make a difference “
I own the Hyperstrada 939, and I can’t hold back admiring the premium feels of the bike to pieces.
For fuel , I would buy additional 6L fuel box mounting upon the top panniers so that the longer distances achievable
My dream bike. Have test ridden it. It’s amazing. Unless someone in my family dies or I sell my house, I won’t be getting one anytime soon.
Quality vid as usual lads! Those roads you ride look fantastic, except that it seems to rain a lot! So is it better than the KTM SAS? I watched that review and you were very complimentary about that one too! And I'm wondering which bike you colleague was on in the drag race. Looks like it was slightly faster, but could also go on the beach!? Oh wait. Just saw you have a comparison vid. I'll have to watch that too
Thanks Perry. End of the day, they are both awesome and its difficult to make a definite call objectively. The Ducati probably has the edge though, but then again its quite a bit more expensive. Thanks, Aaron KNOX
what a high quality review, and also in ultrawide. looks fantastic on my monitor
congratulations, great video! can you tell me what is the last song that plays at the end of the video? Thank you
Great machine. When it works. It is GOAT. I bought one a month ago and rode it until my first 621 miles service. Took it in for service, not problem. One next spirited ride oil started gushing out of the valves. Now its in shop waiting on "ducati expert" to advise them on how to "fix it". I paid $30k for this.
Brutal, i thought the bad engine issue was upon initial release early models?
Wonder if the new valve system will help them retain value better than previous models?
Be interesting to compare it with BMW S1000XR, on Road only of course?
The VMAX had valve clerance at 40,000 and the Kawasaki Vulcan Voyager has hydraulic valve adjustment, meaning never having to change it
Motorcycles are going nuts. They have more horsepower than most cars on sale today. It’s like having 3000 hp on mustangs from factory.😮😂
you need more horsepower on your balls to ride one 😅
Amaaaazing bike!!! Which knox gloves are you using at 10:50 of this video? I NEED TO BUY A PAIR OF THOSE!!!!!
Thanks! These are the Knox Oulton glove. Check them out on www.planet-knox.com/product/oulton-mk2-black-red/. Thanks, Aaron KNOX
Glad to see you mentioned fuel economy. Just plain stupid. For24k touring /adv bike. . Deal breaker. I bought a Desert X instead.
Major plus for both is 4yr warranty
This is the bike Honda’s VFR1200F and Crosstourer should have been, instead of the huge lump no one likes.
Thank you for sharing
Some people love them. The VFR is a stunning bike.
this channel deserve a subscribe, great video !
I have a Pikes Peak ❤ #stunningbike
wish they made a kind of barebones version with fewer "extra" features and like 5k cheaper... would be much easier to own for someone who doesn't want to worry about the bike while riding
The end can does nothing for your sound just looks. I got the full system installed and that does.
No one's happier to see a brand new Multistrada V4S than its owner. A very close second is a petrol station owner.
I guess fuel economy is the only complaint here. And that too is expected from the powerful V4 engine. The little price you pay such indulgence
I’ve had mine for a year and have regrets about buying it. It’s a great way to travel.
It’s really only thirsty in Sport mode. If you’re cranking out highway miles, Touring mode can give you 350km (215 miles) on a full tank.
Great tip, thanks for sharing. Aaron Knox
Thank you for that.
Test rode this but bought the V2S, in my humble opinion it’s over priced overkill for the road, the V2 only loses out on the autobahn. I personally wouldn’t take either off road but on the road they are both great bikes….just wish I had the V4 display.
Went one cheaper here !!! Low mile 2015 1200s white with red frame for 10 grand !! Can't quit putting gas in it!!😁😁😁🏍🏍🏍🍺🍺🍺
Just got a V2S as a loaner bike while my V4S is in the shop for a service. The V2s is a great bike, but I definitely prefer the V4S. I also own an Aprilia Tuono 1100 and the Ducati V4 is the first to rival the Aprilia V4 as the worlds best engine for street riding.
@@Ozmeister666fully agree. The v2 is more like the 950s. Since I had that the more logic choice was the v4s. Don’t regret it one bit.
@@bjrnchrstnHaving rode one now and loved it, V4 next change🙄🤣👍
Technically, not trolling, the Kawasaki Voyager and Voquero don't require any valve clearance service at all.
Great video though!
Wow what a machine….
I have eight friends with V4S's (including my own) and we all get typically 160-165 miles until the gauge reads 0 miles remaining (very pessimistic). But then a further 14-15 miles until empty, so a real-world ('making good progress' - ahem) range of 190 miles. It's thirsty, but the price you pay for the best riding experience in the sector. Real world test: czcams.com/video/sv712lzx3Kw/video.html
Sounds amazing, but...what about the elephant in the room? What is Ducati's reliability like these days? I continue to hear stories about spending too much time in the shop.Who here has a late model Duc with some miles on it?
hi, can you set Turkish support in subtitles?
The most important item that was not mentioned , how reliable is it going to be getting from a to b for many miles ,reliability has never been Ducati’s strong point , time will tell on the V4 . Of course the GS bmws have always been on top in the reliability and resale value in the European adventure bike market What is the value of a Ducati smile 😃
Where are this roads??? The names or numbers, I wanna visit :D PLz
All in Lake District, Cumbria. Thanks, Aaron KNOX
@@KnoxArmour The road numbers or locations plz. The scenery is epic
If aftersale in Brazil was good, I'd have one.
Love Skyhook. It has only one fault- mpg is just awful.
best bike porn, anywhere! How long does it take to shoot these "short films"? Another excellent review and beyond fantastic cinematography/editing. 👍👍
Many thanks! It takes a long time to be fair, and glad you can see the effort! Aaron KNOX
They make rainy day rides look enticing. I'm thinking Peak District somewhere? Those roads look lovely.
It's not exactly a hardcore off roader is it. It's more of a sports tourer/adventure bike with a slight capability of travelling on gravel roads with the stock tyres of course.
The weather is unfortunate
Sport Utility Vehicle of Motorcycle
Too pricey and poor fuel economy, I hope they improve the design from the 1260 which had very poor engine paint/corrosion resistance
👏👏✌✌👍👍🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌👌👌👌👌
I think the Tenere or Africa Twin are more off-road oriented than this, and they are miles ahead in reliability than anything from Europe, this is more of a on-road luxury tourer.
Dad bike as shadetree says
Nah, just get the Desert X. Much better. Or wait for MV Agusta's Lucky Explorer, which might give Desert X a run for its money.
I have a better idea. Buy the new XSR900 and a T7 and still have some change 🤣...good review though 👍
best bike and after service rather than a crappy bmw they cant even fix there damn bike 😂
It will rule all roads if there's a petrol station nearby!🤣
50+ out of my V2, on the test ride of the V4 I swear I could see the gauge dropping😬
So curious how ugly its sucsessor.
Manufacturers will call literally ANY motorcycle Adventure bike these days if it means more sales…..adventure bike my ass
This machine have the desmo service at 60.000 km?! 🤔😳
This engine does not have desmodromic valves. That's why the longer adjustment interval.
@@toriwilke1731 thank you! I didn't knew that point
