The Ducati ST4 marks a significant upgrade to the sports touring range, addressing criticisms of its predecessor’s lackluster top-end power.
Key to this new machine is the 916cc eight-valve desmodromic engine, which delivers exceptional strength and refinement. Its installation in the ST2 chassis and bodywork has resulted in a formidable combination of performance and handling.
On the road, the ST4 proves itself a capable sports tourer, boasting a robust engine that enables all-day high-speed cruising, while its sporty handling makes short work of twisty back roads. Brembo brakes and sharp steering further enhance its track-ready credentials.
With its comprehensive instrument cluster, decent weather protection, and optional factory hard luggage, living with the Ducati ST4 is an uncomplicated experience, ensuring a seamless blend of comfort and performance.
