Ducati Diavel Carbon

Machine finished forged aluminium Marchesini wheels, reducing weight to 205 kg. Marzocchi forks with diamond-like coating DLC). Brake disc carriers in milled aluminium. Carbon fibre fairing and black accessories. All these make the Diavel Carbon a magical meeting point of style and performance.

Performance combined with style

The 205kg (452lb) Diavel Carbon embodies the true nature of the Diavel concept, where performance combines with style to celebrate Italian engineering at its best. Lightweight composites and milled aluminium components meld the two worlds of sport and style with features that are both visually beautiful and functionally high-performance.

The Diavel Carbon comes exclusively in stunning “red carbon” (gloss red over matte carbon) with red frame and rolls on black wheels, turned and milled to expose the natural aluminium below. While carbon fibre is used for the tank panels, single-seat cover and front mudguard to reduce weight and apply a race-like feature that runs deep in the DNA of Ducati, a low friction diamond-like carbon finish gives the Marzocchi fork sliders a spectacular look as well as performance-enhancing action.

Helping the Diavel Carbon to accelerate faster, stop sooner and change direction with even more agility is a valuable 5.5lb (2.5kg) saving of “unsprung weight” by using beautifully forged, lightweight Marchesini wheels. The wheels, which are finished in black, are machine-turned and milled for maximum weight reduction and intricately engineered decoration. The black disc carriers undergo a similar milling process to enhance the recess around the weight saving cut-outs, the natural aluminium colour contrasting effectively against the original black carrier.

Diavel colours and defining features

The Diavel offers three stunning colour versions with special defining features. Two “street-sport” schemes introduce metallic blue or Ducati red with stylish white stripes, colour-matched Trellis frames and white wheels and feature tank-side air-ducts in natural aluminium and carbon fibre radiator panels, while the Diavel Dark in sophisticated matte black is stealth-enhanced with DLC-coated black fork sliders, black-anodised tank-side air-ducts, and black-finished silencers, foot control pedals, bars, mirrors and headlamp body. Additionally, All three colour versions are also equipped with vintage-style, horizontally-ribbed seat upholstery.
The new Diavel Strada sports an elegant race titanium matte colour scheme, set against a racing black frame and black wheels with subtle black textured finish for the side luggage, while the Diavel Carbon, exclusively in stunning “red carbon” (gloss red over matte carbon weave) with red frame, rolls on black, forged wheels by Marchesini, turned and milled to expose the natural aluminium. 

The shape of power and style

The Ducati Diavel was first introduced to an excited public at the 2010 Milan International Motorcycle Show and has since amazed motorcyclists the world over, collecting awards along the way to become one of Ducati's most desired models. The innovative machine combines decades of twin-cylinder heritage and Italian style and now continues an exciting 2014 line-up with the Diavel Carbon, exclusively in carbon red, and the standard Diavel in three stunning colour versions: The Diavel Dark in matte black with black-finished componentry and two "street-sport" schemes of metallic blue or Ducati red with stylish white stripes, white wheels and special defining features. The Diavel and Diavel Carbon stand alongside the Diavel Strada, which was introduced last year as an early entry model year 2014, a model that blends power cruiser performance with touring comfort and functionality.

Custom shop beauty, state-of-the-art technology, innovative design and extraordinary riding pleasure are masterfully blended into the Diavel, a motorcycle that has firmly set a benchmark in the sport cruiser segment, just reward for the innovative designers and engineers that created it.

Built to have a commanding presence, though lightweight and agile like all Ducatis, the Diavel takes the man-motorcycle relationship to the next level in absolute comfort. For connoisseurs of technology, ABS, Ducati Traction Control and Ducati Riding Modes deliver a confidence-inspiring sophistication while stunning looks, 162hp and 205kg* (452lb) of authentic Ducati performance drives a comfortable sport lifestyle that could only be dreamt of before.
