A Dark version of the Multistrada 620 is also available. Its classic matte black colouring and front brake with single large-diameter disc EVOkes the minimalist aesthetics of the supermotard. The new entry-level model retains all the outstanding performance, total control and maximum comfort of the Multistrada 1000 DS, yet has the added benefit of being noticeably lighter and lower: a full 13 kg/28 lbs lighter and 20 mm lower.

Light in weight, and with potent power delivered over a wide rpm range, the Multistrada 620 is both versatile and economical.

Additional Features

New for 2005 With the Multistrada, Ducati invented a whole new motorcycling concept, that of a machine capable of tackling all types of road and performing superbly on them all, a highly personal motorcycle able to combine touring comfort and sports performance. The Multistrada burst on to the motorcycling scene and in some ways redefined versatility and performance, and offered a true alternative to traditional motorcycles. Now, with the arrival of its 2005 models, Ducati provides more alternatives. The Multistrada family has expanded in two directions, with even higher performance in the form of the new 1000S DS with a more sophisticated chassis to satisfy the most demanding riders and to a wider audience with the introduction of two new entry level models. The real news for 2005 is the arrival of the Multistrada and Multistrada Dark, with nothing in their names to identify the engine size but actually powered by the latest 620 cc engines.

 Accessories

If that’s not enough, you can personalise your Multistrada to your own specifications by choosing from the many items available in the Ducati Performance accessories catalogue.
