2021 Ducati Multistrada 950 S Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
At the heart of the 2021 Ducati Multistrada 950 S allround motorcycle, Ducati utilizes a 937 cc (57.2 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 113 HP (82.5 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 96.2 Nm (71 lb-ft) at 7,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 120.6 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (7,750 rpm) and peak power (9,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Multistrada 950 S measures 230 kg (507 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.49 HP/kg (2.04 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 840 mm (33.1 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,594 mm (62.8 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 364 km (226 miles) between fill-ups.
