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.

Merging the worlds of power and style has never been achieved with such convincing precision. A specially engineered 240 section rear tyre combined with famous Ducati chassis technology serves up mind-blowing handling and lean angles which defy the laws of physics, whether carving through curves on your favourite road or just riding out for a night on the town. *Diavel Carbon version
