Ducati Multistrada V4S Off Road Review | In 4K 

Chris was the only man for the job and Ducati knew it! He truly is a man of absolute talent on 2 wheels what a legend 👍

Chris has to be the best motorcycle "journalist" out there. The way you communicate your content feels like talking with a friend which is great! At the same time all the footage and riding skills are top notch! Cheers from Portugal

I noticed that it's got the optional folding rear indicators 🤣🤣

What a bike! But also what a rider - well done Multistrada but also well done Mr Chris Northover - great looking riding on a (what I now know from just riding around on greasy roads for the last week or so) a great bike!

Hats off to you Chris, there is no way I could ride my Multi V4S with that skill in those conditions...Brilliant!...and so is the Multi V4!

I don't know how you do it, I would have been exhausted with that big bike going through the woods. Top effort Chris.

I just love watching Chris hammer a bike.

Ducati should pay you Chris! None drives like you and makes the bike looks so cool!

One of the best reviewers I find riding with absolute glee. Your skills on the bike are of course enviable and you cover aspects that most don’t in your reviews. Thank you for being this great at what you do, and while enjoying it too.

Chris has done it again...and it's not surprising. As a self confessed 44Teeth fan boy, the content that Chris and Bikeworld are producing is simply top draw. Everyone out there doing this should sit up and take notice. Excellent review.

Chris is just the best! I struggle with other channels reviews now as I know what good looks like 👍

My guess would be they let the DesertX handle the “enduro” end of things. The V4S is the middle-ground, big adv. And the pikes peak is the Sport/Road version.

Now that's call a offroad review. All thanks to Chris

Really enjoy watching your videos, Chris. This is one of the best. Just shows what the bike is capable of when ridden by someone with the best riding skills.

Best bike videos on RU-vid. Always enjoyable to watch, nice bikes, top riding skills, nicely filmed and well presented. Thanks guys!

What an exceptionally good review. Very pleasant to watch.

Great moto journalism. Thank you.

Hands down the best off-road review of the V4S out there. But as an owner with less skils and weekly payments for his V4S, no way I'm putting mine out there in the woods. I would gladly trade mine for a no-electronic V4S, with 1 riding mode, no electronic suspensions and no 500$+ blind-spot detecting mirrors which I'm sure would brake on any sort of impact.

Great review, thanks!

Brilliant video, and Chris has to be the best presenter out there bar none.

Brilliant video and top content as usual. Among the best mc youtube channels!! 👍👍😍

Thanks for the amazing review ❤️❤️

You sir, have brilliant skills. By far the best motorcycle reviewer!

Brilliant showcase of the V4S capabilities off-road. I bet it wasn’t expecting that! Have a word with Ducati, would be great to see a V2S version of this.

Could watch this sort of video all day 🤘

Class! Good to see the indicators hanging off at the end….

Looks really good and great seeing how it rides on the road

Was expecting 500k not 50k views great lad, great review!

Chris, you’re the Jedi of RU-vid.. ⚔️ thank you for another entertaining review Bike World team.

This was one of the videos that made it a deciding factor for me to get a Multistrada. 👍

Great video guys, as always 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Can't wait for the Desert X!!

Your a big kid Chris who loves his job and it comes over in spades. Watching this my grin almost matches yours, another great review.

I had almost as much fun watching as you did riding that beast 😉

Awesome review.. can’t wait for the new Multi Rally review..

Ducati should use his maniac giggle as the soundtrack for the Multi ad - says it all

Excellent video! Best!

Got to ride one of these today, offroad. It’s a marvel of technology. Like Chris said: the riding position, balance and throttle response make it easy and confidence inspiring. I LOVE that engine. I can’t get over how Ducati manages to harness face melting power and easy handling all in one power plant. If you’re coming from an older bike you immediately notice that a computer is doing your bidding. I thought I would hate that, but I don’t. It works. It helps to enjoy the motorcycle. In Enduro Pro mode the traction control allows you to steer the bike with the throttle and pull off lazy power slides with confidence, all on the stock Pirelli Scorpion STR’s. It’s really impressive, I hadn’t experienced traction control like that before. The compromise seems to be ground clearance. The V4 sits really low. When I took it over some small logs the suspension started making expensive sounds and I backed off. So I figure it’s more of a gravel racer. Would I buy this bike because it’s ‘good off-road’? Well. No. I can’t even rationalize a 170hp road bike. However, if the money is not an issue, this is one epic smiles and giggles inducing machine. It looks great, too.

You guys make some of the best content I’ve seen for purpose built bikes! I seriously can’t wait for Desert X content lol

What a great review, what a talented rider and great presenter. Well done. Rear indicators are obviously be bit vulnerable though 😀😉

great demonstration, you are an incredible pilot... greettings from México

Broke both rear blinkers! Fun to see such an expensive bike being used off road. 👍

Ducati says do what you want with it. Chris grins. Multistrada gulps. Last we see is Chris soaring over bumps and the rear indicators flapping in the wind next to a broken reg plate 😂 brilliant 👏

this man is the mvp in the review game.... overall

As Chris said, nobody has done it yet, so I am SO glad to FINALLY see a video with somebody really putting the V4S through its paces off-road! I've been dying to see content just like this, so thank you Chris and Bike World for putting this together - and having the bollocks to push that big, expensive bike like you did! Just one question, and I suppose it'll have to wait until you ride the V4S on-road, but my question is: V4S, 1290 SAR, or 1290 SAS? 😉

Brilliant job Chris! Makes me a bit jealous having my Tiger 1200, but then I snap back to reality and know that I'm no off-roader haha Just some gravel roads and the occasional construction site hooning around. It's a great 2-up bike, and that's it's main purpose. Eating miles in comfort

Awesome review 👌

Outstanding review of my favorite motorcycle.

Gorgeous!

Great looking bike and sounds superb.

It wasn't too long ago, that if I was told that a manufacturer was going to make a legitimate four cylinder adventure bike, Ducati would be about the last one I would expect to build it. Also, RIP to those turn signals. 😄

Am I the only one thinking a 950 (V2) multistrada enduro version would make HUGE sense? The majority of moto journalists and reviewers seem to describe it as much more usable than the big 1200, at least in the previous years. I believe it would work! Congratulations for your review once again!

Great offroad review of that beast but you forgot one thing that honestly needs no mention. Even dirty, It looks like a piece of art.

Way to put the Ducati through its paces!

Great Multi woooow! Very nice Bike.

Great video & awesome motorcycle, I'm proud to be able to own one, nice to know the capability of it, not sure I'd take mine to that level but if had to great knowing it's potential. Everyone ride safe 🙏

Good test ride

Almost made us fall for the fact you were suprised.... Not 😉 Nice video. Cheers.

This guy is an unbelievable rider, the way he does fast slides on terrain like that baffles me.

Can’t wait to see raw footage

Never mind the machine just watch a magician 👍

Another great review. Would love one. Can't afford one! 😂 Would take that over a GS I reckon

I feel like when it comes to the worst of the worst, the KTM's, Yamaha's and BMW's are an ever so slight up a notch....but in terms of versatility and on road off road performance, these are great

That’s one way to christen a shiny new v4s 😃

AWESOME AMAZING VIDEO FANTASTIC

Love how the rear indicators turned into bunny ears!

I think this bike keeps inching closer to the GS. Interested to see your take Nice riding and great to watch/listen

Riding that around like a friggen BMX bike😂

Yeah, it looked easy and joyful only because you know how to handle this beast. Still, lolved the vid !

Great video, but I would need a tank to go through some of that. And I mean a tank. Great riding, great bike.

Yes Thank God I will buy one for myself

How does Chris rips around a race track and then on a off road track? Is he a legendary motorcycle whisperer? I think yes.

He, he, you ripped off both direction light in the rear and damaged the number plate, well done! I would not go so aggressive if it would be my bike. But hey, Ducati asked for it!!

Magnifique !

I love your reviews! Hey, but make sure you do a comprehensive review of this one... Please...

The radar cruise is awesome. I never use them in the car but on the bike its something special. I love how you can shift while keeping speed lock! Some how that's not aloud in cars? Ass hats. Oh no you cant have radar cruise and a manual.

I have this bike and its a blast on the dirt. Super fun. PPL say "you take that off road?!" Of course dammit! So here is the thing. I ride it in much worse conditions than you and its specked out V4S w/ the Sport Tourin stock tires and rims. No crash bars, no plate. And I've dropped it. Did great. No breaks! Im such a demon on the streets I cant go that far off road spec. I run from police.

nice riding. ducati looking good. when are you going to give the aprilia tuareg 660 some stick. as all the vids i have seen is the aprilia test rider on loads of vids of othere peoples vids. we want to see it hammerd on some welsh trails by you. best time to test plenty of water and mud.

I‘d love to see such a video with your 950/990 that was in the background at the beginning

Most of the riding on that video seemed to be ON road. Still impressive.

Ive drove this Bike this weekend, and i must say. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST IN HES CLASS! It have engine from Panigale and plenty power to deal with. Power never ends! There is one con sadly... price.

Nice job guys 👍 now do a head to head against the new bmw and we can all sleep well. Also, as a 2017 multi owner this one hurt.. 🤣

Absolute fucking legend!!!

Fucking Legend this man

you are HARDCORE, blinkers redundant LOL :D

I think I will be moving in from my Honda VFR to get a Ducati Multistrata.

I love my Multi v4s…but I can see you have the same problem I am facing 😢….the rear turn signals are dangling and only the wires are holding them

I take it, you set the preload up for your weight? That will have stopped it bottoming.

Great video. Would love to know what the music at the beginning is...

Funny how you didn't mention the broken floppy rear indicators haha, great review though as per usual!

What do you mine, how much better is the KTM 1290 SAS in the off road section?

Another great vid. 1290r or the V4s??

would love to see a full on review like this for the 2022 Multi-v2, i persoanlly think the lighter bike (V2) just might be the better overall Multistrada and the base that Ducati should frame a full bore "enduro" model of.

Did you break your brake lights? Looked like they were drooping down on a few different shots lol

Hard to tell how much was the bike vs. the man. Clearly you are supremely talented off-road. Would have been useful to do a comparison with a more well-known quantity off-road.

Great review Chris But can u tell us is anything broke on the bike as i can see the rear indicators are hanging a bit

Watching this, i think Aprilia should bring back the Caponord to compete with the Multistrada. The Caponord V4 could stand above the Tuareg 660 and alongside Tuono V4.

Did Ducati make you wash it after your thrashing in the mud? Your riding and presentation is top shelf👍. Cheers

This type of road is common in fact very good compared to my country's the Indian Road condition.

moment when you ride into the trail, guy at Ducati was like .....
