DUCATI Diavel (2011-2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Diavel motorcycle was presented in 2010 at the EICMA Motorcycle Show in Milan and produced from 2011 in two versions: the Dark, which is the standard model, and the Carbon, which featured Marchesini wheels, a carbon front mudguard, carbon tank, and seat cowling, and a coated front suspension.

The 2012 model is not much different from its predecessor, and its power comes from the same 1198 cc four-stroke Desmodromic liquid-cooled engine running a six-speed manual gearbox and producing 162 hp at 9,500 rpm and 127 Nm (94 lb-ft) of torque at 8,000 rpm. The exhaust comes in a lightweight 2-1-2 system with a catalytic converter and twin aluminum mufflers.

The suspension is held together on a tubular steel Trellis frame and covered by a 50mm Marzocchi fully adjustable upside-down fork on the front and a Sachs fully adjustable monoshock with progressive linkage on the rear.

The 2012 Ducati Diavel has Brembo monoshock brakes with two 320 mm discs, four-piston calipers on the front, and a 265 mm disc two-piston caliper on the back. The model comes with Antilock Braking System (ABS) and Ducati Traction Control (DTC).

The model has a set of light alloy 14-spoke design wheels fitted with a pair of Pirelli Diablo Rosso 2 tires.

The 2012 Ducati Diavel was for sale in 2022 starting from $10,000.
