Ducati has revealed a new livery for the 2027 Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak, with the updated graphics drawing on the Desmosedici GP and Panigale V4 R machines campaigned by the factory teams in MotoGP and the World Superbike Championship.
The scheme was developed by Centro Stile Ducati in collaboration with Drudi Performance and combines colour and surface treatment elements from both race programs. Mechanically, the Pikes Peak is unchanged for 2027.
The 2027 model is on sale now in Europe. Australian pricing and arrival timing are yet to be confirmed by Ducati Australia.
The livery is paired with the model’s existing sports-focused hardware, including carbon-fibre front mudguard and beak, a homologated titanium Akrapovic silencer, a low smoked windscreen, gold anodised Ohlins fork sliders, a V4-branded seat and Ducati Corse badging on the beak.
Through the Ducati Factory Made (DFM) programme, which fits options on the Borgo Panigale production line at the time of order, buyers can add red forged wheels with red or black brake calipers, choose alternative seat heights, extend the carbon-fibre package, and fit auxiliary lights or a full luggage set comprising side panniers and a top case. DFM debuted in Europe on the Multistrada V4 earlier this year.
Power comes from the 1158cc V4 Granturismo engine, producing 125kW (170hp) and 123Nm.
The Pikes Peak runs 17-inch five-spoke forged Marchesini wheels front and rear, fitted with Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tyres. The chassis combines an aluminium monocoque frame, steel tube subframe and aluminium single-sided swingarm.
Suspension is Ohlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active with 170mm of travel at each end. The system uses the same logic as the Panigale V4 S and Streetfighter V4 S, adjusting damping according to riding phase.
Compared to the standard Multistrada V4, the Pikes Peak places its footpegs higher and further back to increase lean angle, while the handlebar is lower, narrower and flatter.
The electronics package is carried over from the Multistrada V4 S and includes front and rear radar for Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Detection and Forward Collision Warning. Other standard equipment includes a six-axis IMU, cornering ABS, Ducati Traction Control, Ducati Wheelie Control, Engine Brake Control, Vehicle Hold Control, full-LED lighting with Ducati Cornering Lights, a 6.5-inch TFT dash, Ducati Connect, hands-free ignition and cruise control.
