PurposeA versatile allround adventure-tourer designed to handle everything from daily commuting to long-distance touring and light gravel excursions.
Rider FitThe 840-860mm seat height and 227kg wet weight mean shorter riders may need to tiptoe at a stop, but the bike feels manageable once moving.
CharacterCombines Ducati's sporty V2 punch and desmodromic engineering with a comfortable upright riding position and adjustable suspension for a confident, engaging ride.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking a dedicated hardcore off-road machine or an ultra-lightweight nimble city runabout.

2017 Ducati Multistrada 950 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 840mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2017 Ducati Multistrada 950, with a relaxed knee angle of around 140 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
