2023 Ducati XDiavel S Thrilling Black

2023 Ducati XDiavel Dark Dark Stealth with Carbon BlackThe Power of OppositesThe XDiavel Dark enhances the beauty of the Ducati cruiser's shapes thanks to the essential matte black color.On the XDiavel Dark, the total black livery has also been extended to the mechanics and finishes, thus enhancing the Ducati "Reduce to the Max" design principle. The XDiavel Dark, the gateway to the XDiavel world, represents its purity and essential nature.Features may include: ENGINETestastretta DVT 1262The Testastretta DVT 1262 twin-cylinder engine, beating heart of XDiavel, delivers a maximum power output of 152 hp at 9,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 92.9 lb ft at 5,000 rpm.Torque always availableApproximately 80% of the maximum torque of the XDiavel is almost immediately available: at 2,100 rpm. This means you can pick up speed without having to shift down a gear, by sightly opening the throttle. Just like you expect from a cruiser. The torque peak - 92.9 lb ft - is reached instead at 5,000 rpm, a pretty low speed for a Ducati twin-cylinder engine. If you want the maximum, when the rev counter pointer reaches 9,500 rpm, the wheel gets 152 hp.Ducati Power LaunchThe spirit of the XDiavel can be fully expressed thanks to the Ducati Power Launch. This system can guarantee fast and safe starts thanks to the Bosch IMU which regulates the gas.Ride-by-WireThe Ride-by-Wire system is an electronic interface between the engine and the XDiavel's fuel grip, which allows the ideal power level to be configured depending on the Riding Mode selected.CHASSISBelt transmissionThe XDiavel is the first Ducati to use belt final drive. A must in the cruiser world, the system was developed for the XDiavel by Ducati engineers so as to be able to guarantee reliable and safe transmission of the power supplied by the Ducati Testastretta DVT 1262.Forward footpegsThe XDiavel ergonomic started from a basic concept: a relaxed riding position, like a real cruiser, with a low seat and forward footpegs. The footpegs of the XDiavel can be adjusted as standard in three positions (+/- 22.5 mm compared to the standard position).Adjustable suspensionThe adjustable XDiavel suspensions guarantee high comfort even on long distances and perfect control during fast riding.Brembo braking systemThe XDiavel is equipped, as standard, with the Brembo braking system with Bosch 9.1ME ABS Cornering. ABS Cornering makes use of the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) platform by Bosch to optimise the braking power of the front and back wheels, also in critical situations and when cornering.EQUIPMENTTires and wheelsAt the front the wheel is 3.5" x 17'', while at the back it is 8" x 17''. The large rear tyre uses double compound technology to increase grip during the most extreme cornering, guaranteeing at the same time high kilometric performance and applying Enhanced Patch Technology to maximise the contact area with any lean angle. The tread design and the compounds used guarantee exceptional performance in all conditions, especially in the wet.Riding ModeThe XDiavel integrates the latest innovations in Ducati technology, such as Riding Modes. The three Riding Modes work by combining different cutting-edge technologies, such as Ride-by-Wire, Ducati Traction Control and ABS Cornering Bosch systems.Ducati Traction ControlDTC is a very smart system which acts as a "filter" between the rider's right hand and the rear wheel.
