Saddled by hand
The most distinguishing feature of the 2023 XDiavel Nera Ducati Naked Motorcycle is the special seat made of Pelle Frau: a supple, natural leather saddled by hand, the outcome of years of research by Poltrona Frau. It is available in five colors (Siam Red, Steel Blue, Cemento, India, and Selva) and is customized with a series of laser-engraved “X”s that allude to the bike’s name.
Techno cruiser Soul
Ducati’s XDiavel Nera exemplifies the force of opposition by coupling the cruiser-like pace with Ducati‘s agile ride and exhilarating performance. The Testastretta DVT 1262 twin-cylinder engine is the throbbing Centre of the 2023 XDiavel Nera Ducati Naked Motorcycle. The chassis, suspension, braking system, and electronic equipment contribute to the vehicle’s comfort, safety, and performance.

Unique and unmistakable
Each saddle is handcrafted from natural Pelle Frau Leather and is available in five colors directly from the Poltrona Frau Color palette. Additionally, an expanded comfort saddle and a backrest, also crafted from Pelle Frau Leather, are appropriate for two-person travel without sacrificing elegance.
Equipment supplied
The 500 Ducatisti fans who order the 2023 XDiavel Nera Ducati Naked Motorcycle will also receive a Pelle Frau Leather key ring and document receptacle in the saddle’s color.

Dedicated jet helmet
The new 2023 XDiavel Nera Ducati Naked Motorcycle is distinguished by its “Black on Black” livery, which alternates glossy and matte black sections. This livery makes the XDiavel even sportier and is reflected in the aircraft helmet that XDiavel Nera owners can purchase alongside the motorcycle.
Power & Elegance. Together.
The beating heart of the XDiavel Nera, the Testastretta DVT 1262 produces 152 horsepower at 9,500 rpm and 92.9 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm*. Desmodromic Variable Timing, the variable valve timing with a desmodromic distribution system, enables theoretically contradictory objectives to be attained: prompt and seamless response at low rpm, generous torque throughout the torque curve, and sports performance when the throttle is fully advanced.
The bike’s chassis, its low saddle height, and its forward-positioned foot pedals are all designed to provide exceptional pedaling ease and comfort at low velocities while also making sports riding as enjoyable as possible. The steel tube trellis structure, suspension system, and chassis design ensure maneuverability and agility. As with the entire Ducati lineup, the brake system is potent, adjustable, and equipped with cornering ABS. The electronic equipment is incredibly comprehensive and enables you to improve performance and safety significantly.

Collaboration with Poltrona Frau. Occasionally, prestigious Italian titles join together.
Two brands passionate about beauty have distinct histories and seek to design and bring ideas to life. Two brands that emphasize craftsmanship, always supported by innovative technological solutions and premium materials. Two brands that, despite operating in different industries, produce unique products with distinct identities that represent and exemplify Made in Italy quality worldwide.
Two Made in Italy excellence.
Poltrona Frau is a prominent luxury furniture manufacturer and a global ambassador of Italian excellence. The collaboration with Ducati, which began with the Ducati Scrambler Club Italia project, benefits from the years of experience acquired by Poltrona Frau’s Interiors in Motion division. The Interiors in Motion Business Unit specializes in designing, constructing, and distributing unique leather interiors for the premium automotive, aviation, rail transport, and offshore navigation industries.
“Black on black” livery with five different colors for the saddle
The elegant “Black on Black” livery, in which gloss and matte black portions alternate, combines with the special seat made of Pelle Frau: a leather that combines the classic characteristics of the high-end furnishings sector with the need to achieve the ultimate performance in terms of durability, as befits XDiavel Nera.
It is a natural, full-grain leather that is supple, silken, and refined and acquires character with use. In a few sentences, the result of Poltrona Frau’s years of investigation. A sophisticated laser process is used to engrave a series of “XS” on the saddle, recalling the name of the cycle. Poltrona Frau Artisans handcraft the saddles at their Tolentino facility in the Centre of Marche.
