The legendary Silk Road dates back into the mists of history, so what better way to explore it than on one of the most modern motorcycles? The Ducati Multistrada V4 was the perfect bike for crossing China’s five provinces and 2,000 years of history. This was an adventure more than an event and you can take part by watching Ducati Multistrada V4 Silk Road Grand Tour.

This unique riding story highlights the beauty and the unique cultures of iconic locations in China and at the same time the qualities and versatility of the Multistrada V4, which on this journey proved once again to be the perfect companion on all types of terrain.
