Ducati Diavel

The gen 1 is the original design, featuring a round headlight with LED DRL down the center in a horizontal line. It came in two main non-limited variants, the dark, which was the standard model, and the carbon, which featured Marchesini wheels, a carbon front mud guard, carbon tank and seat cowling, and coated front suspension.

The gen 2 arrived in 2015 and featured a twin spark engine. It also received a redesigned headlight and radiator vents. The two main variants remained ''dark'' and ''carbon''.[10]

Based on the gen 1 carbon[11] platform and released in 2012 the AMG edition has a striking, individual wheel design and redesigned radiator vents to go with its white striped paint job and ribbed seat. The engine is also tuned with handset cam timing and a new exhaust.

A 2013 variant based on the Gen 1 dark platform, this bike features a chrome tank with classic Ducati logo, silver lower headlight shroud and gloss black seat cowling.[12]

Introduced in 2015, a limited run of 500 bikes based on the Gen 2 platform. The titanium has unique carbon intake ducts, wheels, fuel tank, headlight cowl, windscreen, seat, and seat cowling.[13]

Limited run of 666 bikes based on the Gen 2 platform and released in 2017. The Diavel Diesel is made unique by details in hand-brushed steel with visible welds and rivets, like the tank cover, the headlight fairing and the passenger seat cover. The visible welds also appear on the anodised black side conveyors with a red methacrylate centre cover bearing an embedded Diesel logo. The red colour is also found on the LCD instrument panel, the front brake callipers and five chain links. The pipes of the exhaust system feature a Zircotec black ceramic coating. The silencers with billet endcaps are also black.[14]

In 2016, Ducati launched the Xdiavel (available in regular and S versions). With a feet-forward riding position, it was the first Ducati to use a belt final-drive. At the time of its launch, the Xdiavel was Ducati's fastest accelerating (0–60 mph) motorcycle – due to the low profile, long wheelbase, and max power low in the powerband. The 2019 Ducati XDiavel S was reported to have a 0–60 time of 2.9 seconds. The 1262cc engine produced 93 lb-ft (126 Nm) of torque at 5000 rpm, and 152 hp (112 kW) of power at 9500 rpm.[15]

In 2019, Ducati launched the Diavel 1260 available in regular and S versions. Among other updates, the new Diavel 1260 uses the Testastretta DVT 1262 engine, a new exhaust, reduced rake, and a 63-inch wheelbase. Cycle World dyno testing found the Diavel 1260 to have 138 hp and 85 lb-ft of torque. The base Diavel 1260 was offered only in black and the S version offered only in red with white graphics. [16]

In 2021 Ducati launched a limited run of 630 bikes, result of a partnership with Lamborghini. The new Diavel 1260 Lamborghini is strongly inspired by the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37, from which it adopted the same main color (Green Gea ) and other stylistic features of the supercar, such as the "Y" (present in some decoration of the saddle) and the hexagon (noticeable in the shape of the exhausts). Other elements that have been redesigned compared to the standard version are the air inlets, the radiator cover, the fenders, the seat covers and the rims. The exclusivity of this model is underlined by a numered plate mounted on the frame, showing the production number of each bike, and by the number 63 on the side of the motorbike, reference both to the year Lamborghini was founded and to the number of motorcycles produced for this limited edition (630).[17]
