2023 Ducati DIAVEL - 1260

LIGHTS ON ME.

LIGHTS ON ME.

Powerful. Muscular. But also agile and effective between the curves for maximum riding enjoyment.

The Diavel 1260 combines the performance of a maxi-naked with the ergonomics of a muscle cruiser. Its design reinterprets the Diavel style with a contemporary look and integrates perfectly the 159 HP Testastretta DVT 1262 engine, beating heart of this new Diavel 1260

CHASSIS AND ERGONOMICS
The riding position, the low-seat "power cruiser" ergonomics, the high handlebar, and the central footpegs, very dear to the hearts of first-hour Diavel enthusiasts, did not change. What did change was the chassis. The new Diavel boasts a new trellis frame with well exposed steel tubes, matched with an aluminum swinging arm whose size was conceived to give this bike outstanding agility in the bends, a great feel and easy riding. The rear tire, 240 mm wide by 17" across, has always been a key distinctive sign of the Diavel. Thanks to the new chassis, it ensures outstanding handling and cornering angles, but also a great level of comfort for the rider and the passenger alike, mostly thanks to the upright position it allows, not to mention the generously padded seat.

THE ENGINE IS THE KING
The new Diavel is built around the Testastretta DVT 1262 engine, a beacon of power, beauty and sophistication. Its 159 hp translate to unbelievable acceleration and pick-up, while the flat and consistent torque curve since low rpm allows steady and easy to handle delivery. The Ride by Wire (RbW) control matched with three Riding Modes and three Power Modes allows to personalize engine responsiveness. A true beauty, as far as mechanics and design go, and a real game changer on the road.

CRUISE CONTROL AND HANDS-FREE
In order to ensure the highest riding comfort during trips, the Diavel 1260 is equipped with a Cruise Control system, handled by backlit controls on the handlebar. The new Diavel 1260 is fitted with a Hands Free system, whereby ignition can happen without a mechanical key. Just keep the electronic key in your pocket and move close to the bike. When you are about 1.5 metres away the bike will recognise the key code and allow ignition. At this point you can simply press the key-on button to turn on the instrument panel and then start the engine.

RIDING PLEASURE AT ITS BEST
Sportiness and comfort meet in the new Diavel. The trellis frame ensure lightness and torsional rigidity, while the adjustable fork provides comfort and stability. The care devoted to ergonomics is complemented by the perfect combination of a higher handlebar, a lower seat and central footpegs, with a comfortable and versatile riding position.
