Image gallery: 2017 Ducati Multistrada 950
Ducati India has just launched the new Multistrada 950 in India at Rs 12.60 lakh (ex-Delhi). The 950 is the smallest Multistrada yet. It shares most of the body work with its elder sibling, the Multistrada 1200 S, but parts such as the swingarm, exhaust can and seats are derived from the larger Multistrada Enduro. The 950 also does not get the cool LED headlamps or the lovely Skyhook, electronically adjustable suspension that's seen on the 1200S. All said, the new Mutistrada 950 does get a host of electronics such as eight-level traction control and three-level Bosch ABS and four riding modes â€" Touring, Sport, Urban and Enduro. While we wait to put it through a thorough road test, here's an image gallery that highlights all the important bits that you need to know about the new Multistrada 950.
