In 2013, Ducati released the Diavel Carbon, which was a success for Italian engineers in obtaining improved performance and a more agile machine than the base model. The 2013 Ducati Diavel Carbon had machine-finished forged aluminum Marchesini wheels, milled aluminum brake disc carriers, carbon fiber parts in the fairing, and Marzocchi forks with diamond-like coating. These updates dragged the bike to an impressive weight of 205 kg.
The visual touches differentiate the Carbon from the base model through gloss red over the matte carbon paint scheme, the red frame and rolls, and black wheels.
In the power department, the Carbon has a 1198cc Testastretta four-stroke liquid-cooled engine paired to a six-speed manual gearbox, with an output power of 162 hp at 9,250 rpm and 130 Nm (96 lb-ft) of torque at 8,000 rpm.
The model has the same lightweight Trellis frame used by other Diavel models, with a Marzocchi DLC coated 50 mm fully adjustable USD fork on the front side and a progressive linkage with a fully adjustable monoshock on the rear.
The model has Brembo brakes with ABS, with two 320 mm semi-floating discs on the front and a 265 mm disc on the rear. As said, it comes with lightweight Marchesini forged aluminum wheels in a nine-spoke design that uses Pirelli Diablo Rosso 2 tires.
The 2013 Ducati Diavel Carbon was for sale in 2022 starting from $9,000.
