2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle Review Specs Price

The 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle mixes a muscle cruiser’s ergonomics with a maxi-naked’s performance. The 159 HP Testastretta DVT 1262 engine, the core of the new 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle, is seamlessly integrated into the design’s modern interpretation of the Diavel flair.

The 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle is unique because it uses asymmetrical, sophisticated graphics with glossy grey and matte black as the primary colors. Sporty touches in yellow are added, such as on the frame, the lower portion of the tail, the designated seat badge, and some bike details.

2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle – Features and Specs

Testastretta DVT 1262

The new 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle has a final chain drive and a twin-cylinder, 1262 cc, desmodromic Ducati Testastretta DVT engine with an updated construction for a sportier delivery.

The engine produces a highly linear and sizable torque at low rpm and extremely dynamic performance at higher rpms because of the Desmodromic Variable Timing (DVT).

With typical diameter and stroke measurements of 106 mm x 71.5 mm and a compression ratio of 13.0:1, the Testastretta DVT 1262 produces a maximum output of 159 hp at 9,500 rpm and a peak torque of 129 Nm at 7,500 rpm. On elliptical throttle bodies with a diameter equal to 56 mm, fuel is injected by a Bosch electronic injection system and controlled by a comprehensive Ride-by-Wire system.

The 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle’s engine is distinguished by an exact design; due to the water pump in cylinder V, the famous cooling system pipes are no longer on the left side.

A secondary air system that feeds cool air into the exhaust duct is used by the Testastretta DVT 1262’s Dual Spark (DS) system, which has two spark plugs for each cylinder head, to complete the oxidation of unburned hydrocarbons and lower the level of polluting gases (like HC and CO) without affecting performance.

While valve play must be examined every 30,000 km (or 12 months), maintenance intervals are predicted to be every 15,000 km (or 12 months).

Ducati Quick Shift Evo (DQS)

With the Ducati Quick Shift up&down (DQS) technology, which enables gear changes without the clutch, the new 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 S comes standard with greater riding comfort and enjoyment, particularly on urban routes.

The system functions both when shifting up for full-throttle racing accelerations and shifting down, with the reduction being smoother thanks to the “clipper” that balances the engine’s revolutions with the primary shaft’s rotation speed to prevent jamming. It is all supported by a clutch with an anti-hop system. The 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle may also use DQS as an attachment.

Desmodromic Variable Timing (DVT)

The DVT system, created and optimized by Ducati experts, optimizes performance and smoothness of delivery at all speeds.

Exhaust system

The brand-new 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle exhaust is a 2-in-1 chambered device with two tailpipes. The center body was positioned in front of the back wheel to be hardly visible, and the exhaust pipes were made to show the engine.

Chassis and Ergonomics

The riding posture, low-seat “power cruiser” ergonomics, high handlebar, and central foot pegs—all things that first-hour Diavel fans cherished—remained unchanged. The chassis did alter, however.

The new 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle has an aluminum swinging arm whose size was designed to offer this remarkable bike agility in the bends, a terrific feel, and simple riding. It also has a redesigned trellis frame with well-exposed steel tubes.

The 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle’s 240 mm wide by 17″ wide rear tire has always been a prominent identifying feature. The redesigned chassis guarantees excellent handling and cornering angles as well as a high degree of comfort for the rider and passenger, primarily because of the upright stance it permits and the thickly cushioned seat.

Suspensions

A 50-mm-diameter fork with complete adjustment is included on the front of the new 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle.

On the left fork leg are the compression adjustment and the fork’s spring preload, while on the right leg is the extension adjuster. On the other hand, the 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle’s rear mono-shock can be adjusted for both spring preload and extension.

The 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 S, on the other hand, is equipped for the first bike ever with a 48-mm diameter hlins fork and a hlins shock absorber that are both completely adjustable. A genuinely precious-looking motorcycle is made possible by Ohlins suspensions, which guarantee not only a faultless response in terms of the dynamic performance of the bike but also exceptional comfort on any kind of terrain.

Frame

The engine serves as the primary Centre of the complete chassis set-up in the steel tube trellis that makes up the 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle frame.

The two-cylinder heads, much as the cast aluminum rear subframe, are what hold the frame to the engine. The cast aluminum single-sided swinging arm is surrounded by two forged aluminum plates that are used to keep the engine. The 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle’s 1,600 mm wheelbase ensures Ducati-level performance over uneven terrain, and its agile frame allows for a maximum cornering angle of 41 degrees.

The front end is 120 mm, and the steering head angle is 27°. Thus, the 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle arrangement ensures high user friendliness and a great steering angle by making the front end agile and simple to manage.

Tires and Rims

The 10-spoke rims of the Diavel 1260 S have a distinctive design and machine-processed surface treatments, while the 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle fits fourteen-spoke wheels.

Bosch ABS Cornering Evo

The Brembo brake system and ABS Bosch 9.1MP control unit are features of the new 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle’s Ducati Safety Pack (DSP), including traction control.

Ducati Traction Control (DTC) Evo

The Ducati Traction Control (DTC) system, inspired by racing, essentially serves as a filter between the rider’s right hand and the rear tire.

Ducati Wheelie Control Evo (DWC)

The technology, which has eight degrees of adjustment, analyses the bike’s position (wheelie) and regulates torque and power; as a result, it provides maximum acceleration in safety without misalignments. It has eight settings and is included in the Riding Modes, the same as the DTC.

Ducati Power Launch Evo (DPL)

The Ducati Power Launch Evo (DPL) allows the 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle to express its “Dragster” identity completely. With a constant active DTC and strict control of the pitch angle as determined by the IMU, this system enables a rapid launch while maintaining safety.

Cruise Control and Hands-Free

The 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle has a Cruise Control system, controlled by backlit buttons on the handlebar, to guarantee the best riding comfort when traveling.

With the addition of the new 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle’s Hands-Free technology, ignition is now possible without needing a mechanical key. Go near the bike while keeping the electronic key in your pocket. The motorcycle will identify the key code and enable ignition when you are roughly 1.5 yards away. Now that the instrument panel is on, you can start the engine by pressing the key-on button.

TFT Display

The TFT screen and separate indicator panel of the 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle instrument panel are situated above and below the handlebars, respectively.

The instrument panel offers four different display options. The Default mode, a brand-new function for Ducati, simply shows the essential components with a fashionable style. The traditional Track, Full, and City displays and the Riding Modes make up the other three.

Dedicated electrical boxes with red, illuminated buttons are installed on the Diavel 1260. To activate the Cruise Control feature and change the speed, certain buttons are needed. To alter several components, including DTC, DWC, and ABS, when the vehicle is stationary, it is possible to enter a configuration menu via the left handlebar box. It can select between Sports, Touring, and Urban riding modes in static or dynamic situations.

Full LED lights

The Diavel 1260 headlamp is the result of a systematic design approach that was well thought out. To offer the best illumination performance, the front and rear lights are fully LED.

A sensor on the instrument panel enables the headlight to switch from the daytime to the nighttime configuration automatically. Additionally, the Diavel 1260 S has a front headlight with a Daytime Running Light (DRL) system when legal. The Diavel 1260 is straightforward to identify, even against the sun, because of its distinctive inverted horseshoe design. DRL is a unique daytime position lighting that ensures optimal bike visibility throughout the day.

The LED turn indicators on the 2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 Naked Motorcycle automatically turn off depending on the bike’s leaning inclination. The turn signals switch off after the turn is complete or the vehicle has reached a given distance, thanks to the IMU inertial platform.

Ducati Link App

The new Ducati Link app is compatible with the Diavel 1260, making it possible to set the travel mode (a combination of Load Mode and Riding Mode) and modify the settings of each Riding Mode (ABS, Ducati Traction Control, etc.) using your smartphone.

Additionally, the app provides access to the user handbook, the Ducati Store location, and information on maintenance schedules. Finally, you can share your experiences with the new Diavel with the community of Ducatistas who already use the Ducati Link App by recording your performance and trip plans.
