The Ducati XDiavel V4, the more laid-back, cruiser-style variant of the Diavel V4, has been unveiled. The XDiavel V4 is 6 kg heavier than the ordinary Diavel V4 and employs a chain final drive, in contrast to the earlier XDiavel 1260. Under their unique and fashionable skins, the two Diavel models of this V4 generation are closely linked.
Ducati XDiavel V4: Performance
The Diavel V4 and the XDiavel V4 both use the same mechanical base. It has the same 1,158cc V4 engine as the Diavel V4, producing 168 hp and 126 Nm. The engine of the new V4 is tuned to the same level as the Diavel V4, in contrast to the old V-Twin XDiavel. The most recent V4 model, like the Diavel, employs a chain final drive instead of the belt final drive that the XDiavel used to have. The Diavel’s aluminum monocoque frame, braking system, and suspension components are all retained.
The XDiavel rider triangle and design are where Ducati has set it apart from the regular Diavel. The XDiavel adds more style to everything while maintaining the Diavel’s demanding, low-slung form. The bike’s design is more fluid than the Diavel’s, and the machined alloy wheels differ.
Ducati XDiavel V4: Design
According to Ducati, the XDiavel V4’s passenger perch is longer, wider, and has more cushioning. It also says it has improved pillion comfort. Ducati will give the pillion grab handle, which attaches to the tail unit, for free when you buy the bike.
The XDiavel V4 features a swept-back handlebar and forward-set footpegs for a more relaxed rider’s triangle because it is Ducati’s take on a cruiser. Along with a wide range of other products, including luggage-carrying accessories, cosmetics, and performance parts, the company will sell you mid-mounted foot pegs as an accessory. The XDiavel V4 weighs 229 kg (without fuel), which is 6 kg more than the base Diavel, and has a seat height of 770 mm. Its perch is also 20 mm lower than the ordinary Diavel.

The XDiavel V4 and Diavel have the same electronics suite with one significant exception. The most recent Panigale and Streetfighter V4 models share a 6.9-inch TFT display with the XDiavel. Red and black are the two color options for the XDiavel V4, just like the Diavel.
The insane Triumph Rocket 3 Storm is the Ducati XDiavel V4’s closest competitor. The ordinary Diavel V4 now retails for Rs 26.21 lakh (est. $30,215) (ex-showroom, India), and we anticipate that the XDiavel V4 will cost more when it arrives in this country.
