Ducati XDiavel V4 Teased in India: Bookings Open for the 2026 Model
The wait for cruiser enthusiasts in India is nearly over. Ducati India has officially teased the 2026 XDiavel V4 on its social media channels, signaling an imminent launch. As the more laid-back sibling of the high-performance Diavel V4, the new XDiavel V4 combines explosive power with relaxed cruiser ergonomics.
Ducati XDiavel V4: What to Expect
While the Ducati XDiavel 2026 model is mechanically identical to the Diavel V4, it differentiates itself through a distinct cruiser philosophy and updated styling.
- Relaxed Ergonomics: The bike features a more laid-back rider’s triangle, forward-set footpegs, and a wider, swept-back handlebar for comfortable long-distance cruising.
- Engine & Power: It is powered by the 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine, producing a staggering 168hp and 126Nm of torque.
- Design Tweaks: The overall silhouette flows more smoothly than the sharp-edged Diavel V4, featuring a unique alloy wheel design and refined bodywork.
- Advanced Tech: It shares the large 6.9-inch TFT dash found on premium models like the Panigale V4, offering enhanced connectivity and rider information.
