New V4 variant of XDiavel performance cruiser released<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ducati released its first XDiavel model back in 2016, as a slightly more relaxed variant of the high-performance base cruiser model. That meant most of the same superbike-adjacent performance, with a 156bhp 1262cc V-twin motor dervied from the Panigale 1199 of the time, along with full-adjustable suspension, Brembo brakes, super-sticky Pirelli rubber and a slew of electronic performance aids.<\/p>\n

But the XDiavel added a feet-forward riding position, and belt final drive, for a slightly more laid-back package compared to the standard, more sporty Diavel hot rod custom.<\/p>\n

Its focus was probably more the US than the European markets, who were more likely to stick with the normal Diavel with its mid-mount footpegs and sportier handling. But the long, low XDiavel carved out a successful niche worldwide, backed up by various special edition Dark, Black Star and Nera models.<\/p>\n

The engine had been retuned for more bottom-end grunt, and that, combined with the low-slung chassis, short seat height and long wheelbase meant it was claimed as Ducati\u2019s fastest-accelerating bike ever, hitting 60mph from a standstill in 2.9 seconds, and exploding out of a bend when you piled on the gas.<\/p>\n

It was very decent in the corners too: that premium Marzocchi and Sachs suspension, plus more ground clearance than you\u2019d expect, meant it could hold onto many more sporty-looking machines on a twisty back road.<\/p>\n

And now we have the next generation of XDiavel for 2025, with the latest V4 engine, and a full redesign, while keeping the same cruiser style. The main update is of course the engine, with the old 1260 V-twin DVT Testastretta motor finally laid to rest in favour of a special version of the V4 Granturismo powerplant.<\/p>\n

The 1,158cc DOHC 16-valve l\/c unit has the same conventional valvetrain as the Multistrada and Diavel, rather than the more exotic, expensive desmodromic system on the Panigale and Streetfighters, and also uses the cylinder-deactivation setup first seen on the Multistrada. This system switches off the rear cylinders when idling and on low-load cruising, to cut heat generation, reduce exhaust emissions and improve fuel consumption.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no slouch of course, still making 168bhp with 93 ft-lb of torque, matched to a decent 229kg weight (ready to ride, without fuel), which is 6kg less than the old V-twin. Ducati\u2019s also dropped the old belt drive setup, switching to a conventional chain final drive instead.<\/p>\n

The chassis is all-new, with an aluminium monocoque frame design like that used across the other V4 models, rather than the old-school steel tube trellis unit. You still get a saucy single-sided swingarm though, and the same beefy 50mm fully-adjustable USD fork design.<\/p>\n

The rear wheel sports a super-wide 240\/45 Pirelli Diablo Rossi III tyre, and the brakes are upgraded to full-on Brembo Stylema superbike calipers, with 330mm discs up front \u2013 nice.<\/p>\n

The XDiavel has the front-mount footpegs as stock, but Ducati\u2019s come up with a new customisable solution, with two positions. So you can have the pegs in a more conventional mid-mount position under the seat for sportier rides, or kicked out the front when cruising.<\/p>\n

The electronics package on the Diavel models has always been strong, and that\u2019s the same here. The 2025 XDiavel gets a version of the Panigale riding aids, with a giant 6.9\u201d colour LCD dash to access all the usual features: cornering traction control and ABS, launch control, wheelie control, power modes, up\/down quickshifter, cruise control and Bluetooth phone link.<\/p>\n

Finally, the 2025 XDiavel has had a tasty restyle, with the quad-outlet titanium end can dominating the look. A classy V4 badge on the motor marks it out as the latest model, while the optional pillion seat cover makes it into a slick single-seater. It\u2019s also been prepared for quick fitting of optional Ducati Performance hard panniers and passenger backrest, should you want to take it on longer runs.<\/p>\n

The new XDiavel will cost \u00a325,995, and will be in stores in May. More info: www.ducati.com<\/a><\/p>\n
