Recently Asked User Questions

Q. What is the difference between XDiavel and Diavel Diesel?
  • The Ducati Diavel Diesel was a limited edition bike of which only 666 units were available worldwide. The Diavel Diesel was available with a BS IV-compliant, 1198cc Testastretta 11°, L-Twin engine that pushes out 154PS of power at 9000rpm and 123Nm of peak torque at 8000rpm. On the other hand, the Ducati XDiavel is powered by the 1262cc L-Twin engine producing 160PS at 9500rpm and 127Nm at 5000rpm, which is 8PS and 1Nm more than before. Ducati has extended its BS6 fleet yet again with the launch of the 2021 XDiavel in India. The cruiser sits right below the BS6 Diavel 1260 and comes in two new variants.

Q. Which is best for comfort, riding, style and smooth riding between Diavel, XDiavel and Hayabusa?
  • As per your requirements, you may either go with the Ducati XDiavel or the Ducati Diavel 1260. Both the supersport cruisers offer a refined and powerful engine option and a comfortable ride. The XDiavel remains a potent power cruiser for 2021 and we think the asking price of Rs 18 lakh isn’t really exorbitant. It undercuts its rivals by a sizable amount and continues to offer a good set of features, while still promising to be raspier than ever. On the other hand, the Diavel isn’t just a muscle cruiser anymore. It still has the appearance of one, sure, and it’s got the firepower as well. But it’s now friendlier to manage and has actually got the handling prowess to rival some of the larger roadsters. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort.

Q. What is the difference between XDiavel and Diavel? I'm really confused.
  • The Ducati Diavel 1260 gets a new and larger 1262cc DVT L-twin motor that replaces the earlier 1198cc L-twin, and now makes more power and torque. The Italian brand also launched a sportier variant, the Diavel 1260S, that gets fully-adjustable Ohlins suspension, machined alloys, Brembo M50 monobloc brake calipers and bi-directional quickshifter. The BS6 Diavel 1260 stays true to its name (Ducati maintenance ‘Diavel’ translates to the ‘devil’ in Bolognese dialect). The radical cruiser is almost beastly with the reflexes of a skillful footballer. On the other hand, for 2021 Ducati has made subtle changes to the XDiavel. First and foremost, the XDiavel’s Testastretta 1262cc engine has been updated with a new map and exhaust to meet Euro5/BS6 norms. It puts out 8PS more, delivering 160PS and 127Nm, most of the juice claimed to kick in as early as 5,000rpm. The XDiavel remains a potent power cruiser for 2021 and we think the asking price of Rs 18 lakh isn’t really exorbitant. It undercuts its rivals by a sizable amount and continues to offer a good set of features, while still promising to be raspier than ever. Read More: - Ducati Diavel 1260 vs Ducati XDiavel
