The Italian brand keeps up the Multistrada love through a refresh of another well-equipped model in the range.Last week, Ducati announced the 2027 Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak, marking one of its first updated bikes for the forthcoming model year.While the changes were far from extensive, at least the brand isn't wasting time rounding out the lineup.Ducati's 2027 V4 S Grand Tour brings a (slightly) different look. - Credit: DucatiThat's because the model is now being joined by a refreshed sibling in the V4 S Grand Tour. If your interests lie more with long days than they do with hill climbs, it's a bike that's sure to resonate.More prominent graphicsNow, it's worth noting that, as was the case with the Pikes Peak, Ducati's updates for the 2027 Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour appear to be strictly livery-related.The revised livery concentrates the red at the front of the side panels. - Credit: DucatiEven then, it takes a discerning eye to spot the differences. The bike wears a similar mix of gray, black and red, and the most prominent changes take shape through the size and placement of the V4 S graphics on the side fairings.Comparisons aside, I am a fan of the new look. I think the bolder text and revised color distribution better suit the bike's lines. It's not only more assertive in its presence but also simpler and more cohesive.The beak is one element that I don't see going anywhere anytime soon. - Credit: DucatiTo that end, I think the livery now shows improved front-to-back symmetry. The red of the trellis and the red of the forward S take opposing shapes and stances.Still a well-equipped steedRegardless of how you feel about this particular Multistrada's new look, the good news is that Ducati hasn't messed with the underlying formula. The Grand Tour's case has always rested on its standard specification, and that remains true.Ducati's Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour really invites wanderlust, doesn't it? - Credit: DucatiAs such, it comes standard with a radar system featuring Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Detection and Forward Collision Warning, all functions intended to make long-distance trips safer.What's more, the V4 S Grand Tour brings a dash-read TPMS to keep an eye on tire pressure, as well as auxiliary LEDs, dynamic turn signals and a rear fog light for visibility. It helps both seeing and being seen.And that's still just some of what's included.For hauling gear and ease of maneuvering, Ducati equips the Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour with a set of polymer side cases and a center stand. Capacity comes to 16 gallons, and the added stability helps with loading and unloading.Standard heated seats and grips make it a comfortable ride for the long haul. - Credit: DucatiRounded out by a set of standard heated grips and heated seats for both rider and passenger, the bike is made still more touring-ready thanks to features like its hands-free fuel cap.Underneath, power still comes from a 170-horsepower, 1,158cc V4, so it's hardly lacking when it comes to giddyup.Availability and pricingDucati's 2027 Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour will be available starting February 2027 from $30,995.Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour Starts at $30,995 About the Author: Gray is an associate editor at Gear Patrol, covering cars, motorcycles and anything else with wheels.
