POSTED: 05/01/2026
We are incredibly excited to open the order book for the 2026 Model Year (MY26) Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally. Already the benchmark for long-distance adventure touring, the V4 Rally has been refined for 2026 with intelligent new technology, improved comfort, and a stunning new aesthetic option.
Arriving in the UK from early 2026, this is the machine for those who want to travel without limits.
The Headlines
New Tech: Now features Forward Collision Warning and an Automatic Lowering Device as standard.
New Look: Introducing the striking Jade Green livery with brushed aluminium tank and gold spoked wheels.
Refined V4: Extended cylinder deactivation now works while riding (not just at idle) for better fuel economy and less heat.
Safety: The new Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO) algorithm refines all electronic interventions for MotoGP-level precision.
The Ultimate Touring Engine
The 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine continues to deliver 170 hp and 121 Nm of torque, but it is now more efficient.
Extended Deactivation: The rear cylinder bank now deactivates during light throttle cruising, not just when stopped. This significantly reduces heat transfer to the rider and improves fuel consumption on long motorway stints.
Service Intervals: It retains the class-leading maintenance schedule: 9,000 miles (or 2 years) for oil, and a massive 37,000 miles for valve clearance checks.
Comfort & Convenience
Designed for two-up travel, the MY26 Rally includes practical updates to make life easier:
Coming Home Lights: The headlights now stay on briefly after you switch off the ignition—perfect for opening the garage in the dark.
Standard Spec: Centre stand and Heated Grips are fitted as standard.
Range: The massive 30-litre aluminium fuel tank ensures you stop only when you want to.
Intelligence & Safety Upgrades
The 2026 update focuses on making the ride safer and more manageable, no matter the distance.
Automatic Lowering Device: A game-changer for a tall adventure bike. The system automatically lowers the suspension when speed drops below 6mph (10km/h), giving you a confident, flat-footed stance at traffic lights or junctions. It raises back up automatically as you accelerate.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW): Joining the existing Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Blind Spot Detection (BSD), the front radar now warns you of potential collisions ahead, completing the safety suite.
Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO): This "virtual sensor" technology, derived from the Panigale V4, simulates inputs from 70 sensors to predict the bike's behaviour, making the ABS and Traction Control interventions smoother and more precise than ever.
Rear-to-Front Braking: A new braking strategy means applying the rear brake now gently activates the front brake to reduce pitch, keeping the bike stable and comfortable for your passenger.

Blade Motor Cycles Limited an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Blade Motor Cycles Limited to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.
Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.
Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
