DUCATI DIAVEL V4
THE DEVIL WILL MAKE YOU DO IT!
The New 1260 Diavel is a major update to the Ducati that was first introduced in 2017, and the biggest surprise is that it has added two extra cylinders – sometimes!
The Diavel’s party trick is that when cruising under 4000 rpm, two cylinders cut out, but the moment you twist the throttle, they come roaring back in. The added complexity however does not come at the cost of increased maintenance, in fact the recommended service interval is now 60,000km.
And in adding two cylinders they have still managed to pare 13 kg from the V twin, making the Diavel even more nimble, and from all accounts, a delight to ride with added mid-range and a counter rotating crank ensuring smoothness, while a range of comfort and handling settings are adjustable to anyone’s wants.
The look of the bike is big, with the styling now including underseat rear tail and stop lights. This iteration of the Diavelle is part cruiser, part superbike, part naked muscle. It is a lot of bike, a lot of fun, and it costs a lot of money.
SMALL, MEDIUM AND LARGE THEY ALL HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON. WE ARE ALWAYS GOING TO GET MORE THAN WE HAD THIS
