This summer was marked by the announcement of the end of Ducati’s Superquadro V2, which will have an as-yet-unrevealed successor. However, the prototype appears to have a V2 engine as well.
According to Motorrad Online, this prototype features an entirely new engine and a frame made entirely of aluminum. In fact, everything seems new, including a swingarm design similar to that used on the Multistrada V4. The bodywork also appears to be new, noticeable in the positioning of the front lights and turn signals.
It is unclear when this new Ducati, seemingly part of the Multistrada lineup, will be officially unveiled. But the sighting of this prototype suggests that the production version may be close to being ready.
Indeed, in the coming months, Ducati is set to reveal four more models under different themes. The marketing tagline most fitting for a Multistrada could be on December 5th (“Unlock Everyday Adventure”), coinciding with the Intermot in Cologne.
