The all-new Ducati XDiavel V4 has officially arrived in India, marking a monumental shift in the “Sport Cruiser” segment. Combining the soul of a performance machine with the comfort of a cruiser, this new model introduces the high-performance V4 Granturismo engine to the XDiavel lineup for the first time.
Design and Ergonomics
The XDiavel V4 is a study in contrasts, featuring a long, low-slung silhouette and bold shapes inspired by high-performance supercars.
- Premium Aesthetics: The bike features a signature full-LED lighting cluster with double C profile DRLs and dynamic direction indicators.
- Refined Comfort: The rider’s seat is positioned low at 770 mm, while the handlebar is set lower and further back than previous models for better maneuverability.
- Pillion Upgrades: Passenger comfort is significantly improved with a seat that is 30% wider and 50% longer than its predecessor.
- Visual Highlights: A single-sided aluminum swingarm provides a clear view of the machined alloy rear wheel and its massive 240/45 tire.
Performance: The V4 Granturismo Heart
At the center of the XDiavel V4 is the 1,158 cc V4 Granturismo engine, a powerhouse derived from Ducati’s MotoGP experience.
| Feature | Specification |
| Maximum Power | 168 hp at 10,750 rpm |
| Maximum Torque | 126 Nm (12.8 kgm) at 7,500 rpm |
| Acceleration | 0 to 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds |
| Valve Clearance Check | Every 60,000 km |
| Kerb Weight | 229 kg (6 kg lighter than 1260 S) |
The engine utilizes a counter-rotating crankshaft to reduce gyroscopic effects, making the bike surprisingly nimble for its category. It also features an extended cylinder deactivation system that shuts off the rear cylinder bank during idling or low-rev riding to reduce heat and fuel consumption.
