In 2016, Ducati released the latest addition to its Diavel line-up, a motorcycle designed as a cross between trademark Ducati style and performance and the world of leisure cruisers, with a comfortable, feet-forward riding position. It was called XDiavel and was Ducati’s first motorcycle to have a belt drive. At the time of its release, it was the fastest accelerating 0-100 kph (0-60 mph) motorcycle ever built by Ducati due to the low profile, long wheelbase, and maximum power low on the rpm. The 2016 XDiavel was available in standard and S versions.
The 2016 Ducati XDiavel, with a modern and aggressive design and its blacked-out features, such as the trellis frame, wheels, and fork covers, was sure to attract the younger cruiser fans.
For the XDiavel, Ducati replaced the 1198cc unit used on the previous models with the new 1262cc Testastretta L-twin liquid-cooled engine with more power and torque, hitting 156 hp at 9,500 rpm and 129 Nm (95 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm.
For suspension, the XDiavel has a 50 mm adjustable upside-down fork on the front and an adjustable monoshock on the rear.
In the braking department, the model has two 320 mm discs, four-piston calipers, Brembo monobloc on the front, and a 265 mm disc, two-piston caliper on the back.
The 2016 Ducati XDiavel was for sale in 2022, starting from $15,000
