2023 Ducati Diavel 1260 S

Rob the scene

Powerful. Muscular. But also agile and effective between the curves for maximum riding enjoyment.

The Diavel 1260 combines the performance of a maxi-naked with the ergonomics of a muscle cruiser. Its design reinterprets the Diavel style with a contemporary look and integrates perfectly the 157 HP Testastretta DVT 1262 engine, beating heart of this new Diavel 1260.

The novelty of the Model Year 22 is characterized by the choice of asymmetrical and refined graphics that combine glossy grey and matt black as the main colours, to which are added sporty touches in yellow, including the frame, the lower part of the tail, the dedicated seat badge and some details of the bike.

The Diavel 1260 S “Black and Steel” joins the S version in Thrilling Black & Dark Stealth colour with red frame and black wheels, will be available in dealerships starting later on in 2021. The standard version is available in Dark Stealth colour with black frame and black wheels.

Features may include:

DESIGN

• A contemporary character

Muscular lines and an imposing front bring out the strong and restless personality of the new Diavel, featuring a long, slender rear with a 240 mm rear wheel. The S version with the distinctive golden Ohlins suspensionsis the maximum expression of the decisive and refined style of the Diavel 1260. A new sporty Diavel 1260 S, without sacrificing the style that distinguishes it.

BLACK AND STEEL

• Black and Steel

The Diavel 1260 S “Black and Steel” is inspired by the Diavel "Materico" concept, presented to the public in 2019 at the "Beautiful Boldness / Visionary Design" event during Milan Design Week and subsequently exhibited at the MOARD (Motorcycle Art & Design) exhibition dedicated to two-wheel design.

ENGINE

• The engine is the king

The new Diavel is built around the Testastretta DVT 1262 engine, a beacon of power, beauty and sophistication. Its 157 hp translate to unbelievable acceleration and pick-up, while the flat and consistent torque curve since low rpm allows steady and easy to handle delivery. The Ride by Wire (RbW) control matched with three Riding Modes and three Power Modes allows to personalise engine responsiveness. A true beauty, as far as mechanics and design go, and a real game changer on the road.

ERGONOMICS

• Riding pleasure at its best

Sportiness and comfort meet in the new Diavel. The trellis frame ensure lightness and torsional rigidity, while the adjustable fork provides comfort and stability. The care devoted to ergonomics is complemented by the perfect combination of a higher handlebar, a lower seat and central foot pegs, with a comfortable and versatile riding position. The S version is fitted with Öhlins suspensions, for a guaranteed fun and an exciting riding experience.

DETAILS

• Cheeky elegance

The new Diavel is an ode to elegance and sophisticated details: carbon fibre components and a finely stitched premium quality seat complement the Diavel’s outstanding style. An aggressive character, with no compromises, as Marchesini forged rims and the Thrilling Black & Dark Stealth liveries testify. The Daytime Running Light (DRL) headlight, available on the S version, is an unmistakeable hallmark of the new Diavel.
