DescriptionThe whole story▼
The MULTISTRADA V4S spends time on gravel and uneven ground, which is where the 1158 cc works against you. That is what the WAPDU405 is for: 200 g of nylon and Ergal standing between the axle of a MULTISTRADA V4S and the ground. It is offered in 2 colours: Black, Red. The kit covers the MULTISTRADA V4S across 6 model years from 2021 to 2026.
Key Features
- Ergal is the alloy family LighTech also uses for its MULTISTRADA V4S rearsets
- One WAPDU405 design serves both the front and the rear axle of the MULTISTRADA V4S
- At 200 g the WAPDU405 is the cheapest thing on the MULTISTRADA V4S to sacrifice
- Available in 2 finishes for the MULTISTRADA V4S: Black, Red
- The LighTech logo is screen-printed into the WAPDU405 nylon, not stuck on afterwards
- Designed around the MULTISTRADA V4S specifically rather than adapted from another model
How Axle Protection Works
The principle is simple and the execution is not: stand proud, give way, stay attached. The WAPDU405 puts the elastic material outside and the structural material inside. The coloured insert is sold in pairs, so a damaged MULTISTRADA V4S is back to standard for small money.
Construction and Material Quality
Nylon forms the outside of the WAPDU405; the material is elastic enough to take repeated knocks. Inside sits a machined Ergal insert — the same alloy family LighTech uses for load-bearing parts. Replacing the insert costs a fraction of the kit, which is how it is meant to work.
Compatibility and Installation
The kit is sold for the Ducati MULTISTRADA V4S and uses that bike's own mounting points. Installation uses the factory fixings on the MULTISTRADA V4S; the supplied hardware replaces them.
Fitting
Everything the MULTISTRADA V4S installation needs comes with the WAPDU405. Check the clearance to MULTISTRADA V4S bodywork once fitted — spacers are included precisely for that. Whichever of the 2 colours you take for the MULTISTRADA V4S, the WAPDU405 mounting is unchanged.
What Is in the Box
LighTech packs the WAPDU405 with everything the MULTISTRADA V4S axles need and nothing they do not. If the MULTISTRADA V4S needs a second kit later, the WAPDU405 number is the only thing to quote.
Type Approval
The WAPDU405 arrives without approval paperwork, and we do not present it as approved. German vehicle inspection can take an interest in anything that protrudes from a Ducati MULTISTRADA V4S. Clarify it before fitting if the MULTISTRADA V4S is road-registered; for track and paddock use the question does not arise.
