The Ducati Diavel V4 brings Ducati's race-bred four-cylinder power to the muscle-roadster class.

This power cruiser blends the character of sport-naked and muscle-roadster machines into one unmistakably Italian design, built around the 168hp V4 Granturismo engine.

From its sculpted steel tank to its signature LED rear light, every detail of the Ducati Diavel V4 is designed to draw attention, whilst the chassis keeps the comfort riders expect from the Diavel name.

Muscle Roadster Design with Sports DNA

The Diavel V4 wears a steel fuel tank and a muscular, sculptural shape borrowed from Ducati's sports bikes.

The rear tapers away light and sharp, while a matrix of punctiform LEDs beneath it forms the unmistakable Diavel signature, a lighting solution unique to the model.

Folding passenger footrests and a retractable rear handle keep the single-seat look clean without sacrificing two-up riding.

The V4 Granturismo Engine at its Core

Every Diavel is built around its engine, and the V4 Granturismo takes centre stage here.

This 1,158cc four-cylinder unit delivers 168hp at 10,750rpm and 126Nm of torque at 7,500rpm, with its four-cylinder architecture visible through the exhaust's four-outlet muffler.

A counter-rotating crankshaft and Twin Pulse firing order give the engine both smoothness and character through the rev range.

Chassis, Suspension and Stopping Power

An aluminium monocoque frame keeps weight in check, with the Diavel V4 tipping the scales at 223kg unfuelled.

A fully adjustable 50mm upside-down fork pairs with a fully adjustable monoshock and aluminium single-sided swingarm, combining sports handling with the comfort riders expect from the Diavel name.

Braking comes from twin 330mm front discs gripped by Brembo Stylema monobloc callipers, backed by Cornering ABS as standard.

Rider-focused Technology

A five-inch TFT colour display sits at the heart of the dashboard, working alongside Riding Modes, Power Modes, Ducati Traction Control and Ducati Wheelie Control.

Ducati Quick Shift, Ducati Power Launch and cruise control all come as standard, while the bike is ready for turn-by-turn navigation through the Ducati Multimedia System.

Colours and Availability

The Ducati Diavel V4 is available in classic Ducati Red or the Black Roadster Livery, both finished to the same striking standard.
