Ducati has officially begun production of the highly anticipated XDiavel V4, marking a new era for the iconic Sport Cruiser. Rolling off the production line at the Borgo Panigale plant, the XDiavel V4 brings muscular styling with blistering performance to the table, thanks to the powerful V4 Granturismo engine and the latest Ducati technology.
At the heart of the XDiavel V4 lies a 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine, pumping out an exhilarating 168 hp. Derived from Ducati’s MotoGP expertise, the engine features a counter-rotating crankshaft that ensures explosive acceleration. With a 0-100 km/h sprint time of under 3 seconds, combined with a 240/45 rear tyre and optimized gear ratios, the XDiavel V4 promises breathtaking straight-line performance.
Despite its raw power, the XDiavel V4 maintains exceptional agility, thanks to its lightweight 229 kg kerb weight, monocoque frame, and fully adjustable suspension. Braking is handled by Brembo Stylema calipers on 330 mm discs, ensuring precise stopping power. The rear suspension now offers 25 mm more travel, while the wider and thicker saddle provides improved comfort. The passenger seat has been upgraded significantly (+30% width, +50% length, +25 mm thickness), with a rear grab handle included for added support.
The XDiavel V4 comes equipped with a comprehensive electronics suite, featuring Ducati Traction Control (DTC) in Cornering mode, Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC), ABS Cornering, Launch Control, and Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) 2.0. Riders can manage these settings effortlessly through the backlit handlebar controls and the 6.9-inch TFT color display with Bluetooth connectivity for calls, texts, and music. The system also supports Turn-by-Turn navigation via the Ducati Link App (available as an accessory).
The XDiavel V4 debuts in two striking liveries: Burning Red, a fiery hue different from Ducati’s signature Racing Red, and Black Lava, a refined take on classic cruiser black with warm undertones. The Ducati Performance catalogue offers extensive customization options, including repositioned footpegs, raised or lowered seats, 48-litre semi-rigid cases with body-colored covers, and even a homologated exhaust with titanium end caps.
