I think I'd go with the standard version and spend the difference on doing track days. That would make me a far better rider than electronic suspension will.

Wouldn't it have made sense to also give Scott the standard, non-S, to run a lap on to see the difference?! He's a great guy and good to see him but why not take the opportunity given the title of the vid?!

I really feel no more informed as to whether one is better than the other. No more information is really provided that I couldn’t already read off Ducati website lol. Oh well 🤷‍♂️ all I got was main difference is ones electronic, and one is not. This is basically the movie in a nutshell.

Another good one, thank you. Notwithstanding cost, the 'S' for me. Beautiful looking bikes though, both. 🤘

If I’m Ducati I’m putting Redding is the press everywhere. He’s great marketing for the new youth in the sport.

Love my 2023 V4S. The only thing it sucks right now is low speed drills. It hates going slow and constantly stalls.

Nice video, greetings from Argentina!

Man! I thought he crashed when they sped up the side by side footage. Lol! 😬

Very very helpful. Thx

0.7 is kinda huge in a race. 15 Laps and you are 10 sec ahead.

According to this review which model is better overall for both track and the road use V4 or V4 S.

Michael Rutter has tested both and actually went slightly quicker on the base. The ohlins is nice bling but the average buyer isn’t getting anything other than a fuzzy joy feeling by owning something flasher. The one size fits all spring rates and older spec stuff is going to be less good than buying an after market ttxgp with the right spring and an nix30mm carriage kit. So that’s the best option. The S is just a nicer, flasher version that can potentially go slightly quicker. And there’s no problem with somebody wanting that

I suppose 0.7 sec is relatively insignificant if you not racing. One can obviously argue that a better handling bike is faster, but for general road or track riding which bike feels better, more stable in corners and confidence inspiring. This might be more relevant I think.

I’ve got the V4S and properly set up fixed suspension still beats electronic each and every time, road or track...

Great video

Really enjoying the content of this channel at the moment! A Ducati V4 is my dream bike. Best get saving quickly as I fear ICE bikes will soon be a thing of the past :(

I rather buy a full system exhaust with the 4000

Interesting that he says preload is preload. Set that and you are done. Sag should be the same in all modes right? Unless you are adding luggage weight or passenger weight. Wish the systems had built in sag measurement so you could load the bike as needed and add preload until the sag read the correct amount. On this bike do you get to specify compression and rebound rates or is it just selections for firmness, low, medium, or hard, or I should say soft medium and hard. That is all the choices I have on the Multistrada, just 5 levels of damping firmness.

Idk if anyone else noticed but big shoutout to the rep who didn’t oversell the electronic suspension. Kinda knocking the questions down a little with realistic expectations

Anyone else thing he had two nasty highsides when that timelapse hit lolol?

Why does this sound like a sales pitch for a v4s 🤔. Also how can you compare laptimes when there is lots of traffic involved 😑

I rode both, V4S ftw for comfort especially I ride mine on a daily basis.

How long will electronics last ? With the amount of heat and weather conditions it goes through. I would take the v4r though

How many S owners probably haven’t even set preload? Only ever gonna be as good as the base model if the basics are set

It's certainly an experience to let Ducati Dynamic mode figure things out.

Ducati is all about Performance and Beauty!!

would like to see the road review.

Now the real question is do I go for the new 2020 v4 or save a load of cash and buy the 2020 V2. I'll probably never take it on track anyway, so the V2 is more than enough for road use.

I prefer standard. I don't what a computer to think for me.

I'm a big fan of electronic suspension for road use... but on the track I suspect a properly set up quality ohlins manual suspension will outperform the e-version.

In my Opinion the much bigger selling point for the S model are the forged wheels ;) If you are being serious on track you won't neither of the oem suspensions you put your own in ;)

"it's a race setting but it doesn't adjust itself".. Can someone explain this to me?

I'd take the V4R anyday gives you more feedback on the track, the Electronic Suspension overwhelmes the feeling of the bike feels you have trainer wheels in a bicycle, but it's not a bad thing I just want more feedback when I'm on the track so still V4R anyday

You seemed quicker on v4s in corner speed and exits👍

Nice video

well i own the v4s and i can tell you that it isnt worth it for most . 80% of the people dont even adjust their suspension on a bike when they buy it anyway .so this hard to notice dynamic mode they talkin about will make a difference for them , i think not . and whats that amateur way of 'proving' that the s is faster . its also not even true , effectivly the difference is the heavier wheels , wich isnt much . acting as if it comes from the suspension is fake and bullshit

Personally speaking when in 2008 I bought a brand new Ducati 1098 STANDARD not an S or even an R. That was a happy happy day when I went to pick it up 👍😀 Instead of getting an S I got a full termi exhaust system which for the road gave the bike an awesome sound. Then in 2008 it was £2,000 now it’s £6,000 I believe. Horses for courses

1:33 gave me shook. I thought you're gonna crash!

It definitely looks like the s model can carry more speed out of a turn.

chakri achey?

Little bit too serious, take a leaf out of 44Teeth’s book, especially with Scott Reading... he is a great guy and a real laugh! Love the technical, just had a balance.

6:05 is that hair on his forehead?

Get the standard and whit the extra get the full exhaust system.

£4K for the electronic gizmos. That's 2/3rds of the cost of an entire bike for me !

I wonder how much they cost when they wear out and you have to buy a new one :D

Now compare the V4S to the V4R 😊

Another beautiful bike that I can't afford and lack the skill to ride it proper.

4 Grand lolololol Let that sink in !!

Nice commercial

No way with a good rider you go faster with funky electronics suspension than with some classic ones set up properly! Lol everybody knows it doesn't work on track when u go fast enough

V4s

The simpler the better

Truth be told all its is is a step motor that resets and sets the clicks depending on which mode you choose, it really isnt better or worse. I would say the standard bike revalved and sprung correctly for one's riding style and weight would be a better ride for a lot less $$$. All the electronic adjustability is all marketing BS.

Short answer. No.

Are Bikes Electric? Trackside Mechanic.

Just get the V4s. You will be happier in the long run.

K5 gsxr is quicker round the track

I stick by Japanese bikes....more durable

4:35 HAAAA. I love hearing that from an actual racer. "I could happily race that bike" That bike that is sitting in my garage... I think ill set off some cops w/ it! XD. Happens every tyme. *knocks on wood* they never do catch me.
