Ducati The spirit of travel takes over the motorcycles that dominate in MotoGP
A V4 engine and the most sought-after challenges link two opposing philosophies within the Borgo Panigale brand
The journey as an experience, the motorcycle as a companion, and the road as a stage for life. This is how the essence of the first edition of the Multistrada V4 Voyagers event can be summed up.
This is an initiative by Ducati that has brought together more than 200 motorcyclists from over 45 countries. The common bond has been the Multistrada V4 family.
The contest has served to highlight the many ways of understanding adventure on two wheels. From group journeys to solo routes, including extreme expeditions and family getaways.
All the stories have revolved around the versatile potential of a motorcycle designed to cross borders and challenge horizons. Out of all the stories, six were distinguished by the official jury, each in its own category.
Ducati Multistrada V4 as a way of life
The most adventurous category crowned Thai rider Rolf Pontus Hagen. He reached the foothills of Everest after crossing Laos and China in extreme weather conditions.
The longest journey (with 13,670 mi. (22,000 km) traveled) was accomplished by Frenchman Antoine Hutter, who linked the four cardinal capes of Europe in a true continental odyssey.
Stories of camaraderie were also awarded, such as that of a German group who retraced the Silk Road toward Thailand. Meanwhile, stories of cultural exploration were recognized, like that of Spaniard Sandra Frutos, who crossed Morocco with her official club.
Special mention goes to the solitary feat of American Óscar Iván García, who crossed North America to the Arctic. Meanwhile, the moving intergenerational adventure of Brazilian Lúcio Prado Wander, who shared a journey with his son to the Atacama Desert, was also highlighted.
Each on their own Ducati Multistrada V4 S, they exemplified that bond that can only be forged between man, motorcycle, and the road.
All the winners will receive a personalized trophy and official gear. Beyond tangible recognition, their stories will become part of the brand's living archive.
This will be a testament to a global community that shares a very particular way of understanding motorcycling. This isn't about transportation, but about a way of life.
In the Ducati Multistrada universe, the journey isn't measured in miles, but in memories.
