Ducati XDIAVEL V4

The Ducati Xdiavel V4 is a low, muscular power cruiser built around a relaxed, forward set riding position, giving riders classic cruiser ergonomics without asking them to give up genuine Ducati performance in the process. Power comes from the 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine, with an 83mm bore, 53.5mm stroke, 14.0:1 compression ratio, counter-rotating crankshaft and Twin Pulse firing order, producing a substantial 168hp at 10,750rpm and 126Nm of torque at 7,500rpm, delivered through a six speed gearbox fitted with Ducati Quick Shift 2.0 for smooth, clutchless changes up and down and a chain final drive with a 16 tooth front sprocket to the rear wheel. That strong low and mid-range torque suits the Xdiavel’s relaxed riding style, pulling hard from low revs without the rider needing to work the gearbox constantly. A fully adjustable 50mm upside down fork at the front and a fully adjustable monoshock working through an aluminium single-sided swingarm at the rear keep the long, stretched chassis composed, while Brembo Stylema monobloc brakes with Cornering ABS provide serious stopping power for a bike of this size and weight. A wide 240 section Pirelli Diablo Rosso III rear tyre plants the power to the road, paired with a 120 section item at the front. A 20 litre tank gives genuine touring range for a cruiser of this style, and at 229kg with a very low 770mm seat height and a stretched 1,620mm wheelbase, feet forward pegs and a low centre of gravity give it a distinctly different feel from Ducati’s more sport-focused Diavel. Ducati Traction Control, Ducati Wheelie Control, cruise control and hands-free operation, shown on a 6.9 inch TFT display running the Ducati Multimedia System, bring genuine modern sophistication to the cruiser format, while full LED lighting completes the specification. It suits riders who want laid back, feet forward cruiser looks without sacrificing serious performance underneath, whether that means a relaxed cruise along the coast or an assertive squirt of overtaking pace when the road opens up.
