The first generation of the Ducati Diavel ended with the 2014 model, and entered the second generation with the 2015 model, presented during the Volkswagen Group Night in Geneva. The second generation of the Diavel features a twin spark engine, a redesigned headlight, and redesigned radiator vents. The 2015 model, like the first generation, was also manufactured under two main versions: Dark and Carbon.
Visually speaking, the 2015 Ducati Diavel has that Italian thoroughbred look, with a naked, blacked-out, and modern body that reveals the Testastretta engine, and an aggressive, fat 240 mm rear tire.
The 2015 model takes its power from a 1198cc Testastretta L-Twin liquid-cooled engine, ran by a six-speed transmission, and developing a power of 155 hp at 9,250 rpm and 125 Nm (92 lb-ft) of torque at 8,000 rpm. The burnt gases escape through a system with a catalytic converter and two stainless steel mufflers with aluminum tips.
For suspension, the model has a Marzocchi fully adjustable 50 mm DLC-treatment USD fork on the front, and a fully adjustable shock with progressive linkage on the rear.
In the braking department, the bike has two Brembo 320 mm semi-floating discs on the front and a 265 mm disc on the rear, with ABS as standard equipment.
The 2015 Diavel rolls on lightweight alloy wheels in a 14-spoke design with a machined finish and contacts the ground through a pair of Pirelli Diablo Rosso 2 tires.
