The aluminium-framed new Ducati Multistrada 950 debuts at EICMA 2016, Milan

One of the most desirable bike brands Ducati has recently unveiled The Ducati Multistrada 950- the brand new machine for 2017 at the EICMA 2016 show in Milan. A smaller version of the Multistrada 1200, the Multistrada 950 is designed to be more accessible in both its price range and its lighter weight, thanks to its aluminium intensive built, and riding size, with a lower seat that reaches to a standard 840 mm.

The slimmed-down bike has a frame made from billet aluminium, along with other features that include that two-sided, cast aluminium swingarm, and cast aluminium wheels, respectively 19-inch and 17-inch.


The Ducati Design Center aimed to strike the balance between the compact bike they intended – and a visibly light overall weight that would add to the appeal – while keeping it firmly within the contours of the Multistrada line. That meant the Ducati team looked at two of its flagship models, not just one: the 1200 Enduro also was incorporated into the new 950, with the "lightest" elements of each fused into a truly Ducati product.
