The Ducati XDiavel motorcycle was manufactured by Ducati from 2016 and was available in standard and S versions. The bike featured a feet-forward position and was the first machine made by the Italian maker that used a final belt drive.
At its release, the Ducati XDiavel was the fastest 0-100 kph (0-60 mph) accelerating motorcycle due to its low profile, long wheelbase, and massive power in the lower half of the powerband.
In 2019, the S version of the Ducati XDiavel was registered at 2.9 seconds in a 0-100 kph (0-60 mph) test. The bike's 1,262cc engine delivered 152 hp at 9,500 rpm and 126 Nm (93 lb-ft) torque at 5,000 rpm.
In 2022, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer brought into the motorcycling world the Ducati XDiavel Nera, a dope-looking machine with a unique character and a pure Italian design. Unfortunately, the only downside of this great-looking machine was that it was made in only 500 units.
The 2022 Ducati XDiavel Nera offered high-end technology and completely customizable ergonomics, including three-way adjustable footpegs and a wide range of Ducati Performance accessories, including different-shaped handlebars and rearward footpegs.
The engineers concentrated all the work between the two wheels, squeezing all the parts together in the middle area, leaving no room even for a needle. Somewhere between the fuel tank, short exhaust system, frame, and different metal and plastic parts was a 1,262cc liquid-cooled Testastretta engine fed by an electronic fuel injection system.
As for the power figures, the engine delivered 160 hp with maximum strength at 9,500 rpm and 127 Nm (94 lb-ft) torque. Bringing all these technical, performance, and visual features together resulted in an exquisite machine with an MSRP of $29,700.
