The motorcycle gets a 19-inch front wheel to for added stability when tackling off-road terrain) (It was in July 2020 that Ducati revealed the 'GP White' colour scheme on the Multistrada 950 S and now, about a year later, Ducati India launched the Multistrada 950 S in GP White colours at a price of Rs. 15.69 lakh (ex-showroom). The new paint scheme is inspired by Ducati's MotoGP graphics.
