Ducati Diavel 1260 Features:

The Ducati Diavel 1260 is one of the most technologically advanced motorcycles in its segment. The Italians have redesigned the look of the muscle bike with a fresh new face. All lighting systems are LED-lit with the front turn indicators neatly integrated into the radiator covers. On both trims, a 3.5-inch TFT colour display is present with unique layouts for each rider mode. While you have to pay extra to get the Ducati Multimedia System on the base model, the module is a standard fitment on the Diavel 1260 S. The module allows you to connect your smartphone to the console and control your music on the go. Other notable premium touches include red backlit switches and keyless ignition.

Ducati Diavel 1260 Engine:

The Ducati Diavel 1260 shares the Euro 5 / BS6-compliant 1,262cc Testastretta DVT engine with the XDiavel and the Multistrada 1260. On this muscle bike, the engine produces a whopping 162PS (3PS more than the BS4 bike) at 9500rpm and 129Nm at 7500rpm. The motor is paired to a six-speed gearbox with a hydraulically actuated slip-and-assist clutch. On the base Diavel, you get the entire Ducati Safety Pack as standard, which includes multiple rider modes, traction control, wheelie control and cornering ABS, all of these are aided by a six-axis IMU. Other standard riding aids include cruise control and launch control. The only thing that you miss out in this trim that is stock on the S model is the bi-directional quickshifter.

Ducati Diavel 1260 Suspensions & Brakes:

Ducati has made a whole host of updates in the mechanicals department of the Diavel 1260. The standard Diavel gets a 50mm adjustable USD fork and a preload- and rebound-adjustable monoshock affixed onto an aluminium single-sided swingarm. If you opt for the Diavel 1260 S, you get top-spec 48mm USD fork and fully-adjustable monoshock units made by Swedish suspension wizards, Ohlins. There is also a slight difference in the braking hardware of the two trims. The lower-spec model gets Brembo’s M4.32 monobloc calipers at the front while the S gets the more advanced Brembo M50 monoblocs, both of which act on 320mm rotors. The rear brake setup remains the same: a 265mm disc with Brembo dual-piston caliper. One of the major highlights of the Diavel is its ridiculously wide 240/45-section rear tyre by Pirelli.
