V4-powered Ducati Multistrada Spied For The First Time

  • The test mule appears to house very subtle design changes.
  • It’ll pack the same Stradale V4 motor as the Panigale V4 and come with a host of rider aids. 
  • We expect Ducati to unveil it sometime early next year or during this year’s EICMA in Milan.
V4-powered Ducati Multistrada Spied For The First Time!

It was only a few weeks ago that reports of a V4-powered Multistrada doing the rounds near Ducati’s Bologna factory surfaced online. Now, the first spy shots of the motorcycle have leaked online, giving us a visual confirmation of the same.

First things first, the flagship adventure tourer appears to look the same as the current Multistrada 1260. The only difference here is the all-new exhaust, which could’ve been done to accommodate the two additional cylinders. As a result, the exhaust note appear to be quite different from that of a typical L-twin.

Considering the lack of changes over the current model, we suspect two things here: this might be a very early prototype, or the new Ducati Multistrada V4 will be just an additional variant in the Multistrada family. Either way, it is expected that the new-gen Multistrada will come with Ducati’s Advanced Rider Assistance Systems (ARAS), a radar-based tech which warns the rider about the flow of the traffic and blind spots. 

 

So, how soon can we expect to see it? Considering Ducati will already have its hands full with the Streetfighter V4 at this year’s EICMA, we expect a possible reveal in early 2020, with the launch following in 2021. And yes, it will eventually come to India.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

  It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...
