WRS Pair Deflectors For DUCATI Multistrada V4 / S / Sport / Rally 2020-2025
The WRS pair deflectors (models DU031 and DU019, depending on finish) are 3 mm thick aeronautical-quality panels designed to mount flush with the Multistrada V4’s side fairings . Made from durable polycarbonate or acrylic, they’re available in multiple finishes (matte black, dark smoked, or transparent), and include all hardware with a 3 Nm tightening protocol .
Why They Matter: Comfort & Aerodynamics
Ducati’s own aerodynamic research for the Multistrada V4 emphasizes side deflectors under the fairings to channel cool air toward the rider’s legs and away from hot engine and radiator heat . Yet the WRS add-ons are aftermarket bolt-ons that augment this system by:
-
Redirecting airflow away from shoulders and upper arms, reducing wind pressure.
-
Lowering turbulence, thanks to reinforced mounting arms that resist flutter at high speeds .
-
Dampening vibration, thanks to a stiff stem design.
-
Making long rides more comfortable, especially in highway or touring setups .
Enthusiasts confirm these benefits: on platforms like Reddit, users with similar setups (WRS deflectors + adjustable windscreen) report a noticeable drop in buffeting and noise. One user shared:
“I have the WRS winglets, they work great. I feel they push air away from the sides of the helmet and that calms things down quite a bit in terms of turbulence and noise… More difference than the main shield risers and deflector for me.”
Another comment reads:
“I have the WRS side deflectors… It makes 1000 km days a bit more bearable.”
Still, some critics say deflectors offer marginal benefit:
“Eh, they don’t make much of a difference. I’d skip it.…”
That echoes broader consensus—while WRS deflectors help, they’re not a complete fix, especially at very high speeds or for taller riders.
Tuning Performance & Rider Fit
The key to their effectiveness lies in setup: pairing with a sporty or touring windscreen and maybe helmet type. Redditors say:
-
A short sport screen + WRS winglets combination reduced buffeting significantly .
-
Combined with earplugs and helmet adjustments, they noticeably dampen turbulence.
-
Yet at more than ~80 mph, noise may persist—deflectors alone won’t create a perfect “air bubble” .
Height, helmet brand, and windscreen position all play roles; WRS deflectors tend to complement rather than substitute those systems.
Installation & Fits
-
Direct bolt-on behind OEM handguards, above radiator pockets .
-
Mounts with 3 Nm torque for secure fastening—follow instructions carefully or risk vibration .
-
Impacts airflow without poking into steering or handguard space.
Style Options
-
DU031 range is for 2023–2025 models (including Rally/Pikes Peak) available in matte black (DU031NO) or clear (DU031T) .
-
DU019 is calibrated for 2020–2024 models and likewise available in smoke, clear, or matte black .
-
Finish choice can accent or blend the Multistrada’s styling.

European retailers (WRS Italy, WRS USA) show standard retail around €60–70 + shipping (€4.99–65 depending on method) .
Availability is generally good, and shipping times vary; sales events may occasionally offer 5–10% discounts .
