Ergonomics customized for you
With its low seat and modern footpaths, the new XDiavel offers a comfortable riding position. All riders can adjust the bike according to their riding style and body type, thanks to which there is a wide range of riding situations and accessories available.
Enjoy the ride
On the first corner, you can tell that this is a Ducati because of its tilt, its technical features, its state-of-the-art electronic package, and its superior performance, which ensures an unforgettable riding experience. On the other hand, the new XDiavel’s wide handlebar and advanced footpaths provide riding ergonomics that enable you to ride comfortably and comfortably at any speed.
Engine
The Ducati Testastretta DVT 1262 twin-cylinder engine conforms to Euro 5 for the full lineup of XDiavel 2021 in any of the nations that accept this specification. An improved silencer arrangement has been used, with a new design that further enhances the aesthetics of the bike and the new engine calibration, in line with current European emissions standards. As a result, the XDiavel produces 160 horsepower at 9,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 7.23 lb-ft at 5,000 rpm, an increase of 8 horsepower and 1.44 lb-ft compared to the Euro 4 version.
Luggage
The XDiavel is equipped with some features as standard, including a complete LED lighting system, a Bosch inertial platform (IMU), ABS cornering, Ducati Traction Control, and a Ducati Power Launch.
DVT 1262 TestStreeta
The Testastretta DVT 1262 twin-cylinder engine, which meets the new European emission standards, is undoubtedly the star of XDiave. Including a unique engine calibration and upgraded and brand new silencer layout. As a result, the XDiavel produces 160 horsepower at 9,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 7.23 lb-ft at 5,000 rpm, an increase of 8 horsepower and 1.44 lb-ft compared to the Euro 4 version.
5,000 rpm
At 2,100 rpm, the XDiavel delivers almost 80% of its maximum torque instantly. You can increase your speed by slightly expanding the throttle without changing gears, as you would expect from a cruiser. Instead, at 5,000 rpm, a slow enough momentum for a Ducati twin-cylinder engine, it reaches a torque peak of 7.23 lb-ft. The XDiavel can produce 160 horsepower at 9,500 revolutions per minute (rpm) if you wish.
Power launch by Ducati (DPL)
The Ducati Power Launch allows XDiavel’s “Dragster” spirit to manifest itself (DPL) fully. Thanks to Bosch IMU, which controls gas and intervenes in DTC based on selected settings, this system can ensure a quick and safe start.
Ride by wire
The Ride by Wire (RbW) system, an electrical interface between the engine and the fuel grip on the devil, enables the ideal power level setting according to the selected riding mode.
Transmission belt
The Belt Final is the first Ducati XDiavel to use the drive.
Advance foot
XDiavel’s designers and engineers began their work with a simple idea: a comfortable riding position, similar to a cruiser, with a lower seat and front footprints.
Flexible suspension
The XDiavel’s 50 mm diameter front fork has black anodized sheets, and the compression and extension of the hydraulic brakes and the spring pre-load can all be fully customized (the S version also has a trunk with DLC coating).
Brake system by Bosch and Brembo
The Bosch 9.1ME Brembo braking system with ABS cornering is standard on the XDiavel. The Bosch IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) platform increases front and rear wheel braking performance through ABS turning, both in emergencies and during cornering. When used in riding mode, the system can adapt to all riding conditions and styles.
Wheels and tires
XDiavel’s 14-spoke codes measure 3.5 “x 17” front and 8 “x 17” rear. The front tire measures a 120/70 ZR17 with a revised trade pattern to improve smooth performance. Instead, the rear tire is 240/45 ZR17. New Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tires are being used.
Road mode
XDiavel includes the latest technological advances in Ducati, such as riding modes.
Traction control for Ducati (DTC)
Using a “filter” between the rider’s right hand and the rear wheel, DTC is a very clever technique.
Complete LED lighting system equipped with DRL
A prominent front-facing headlight with daytime running light appears on the XDiavel S (in countries where it is permitted).
