DUCATI Diavel (2015-2018) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2016, Ducati released the new model of the Diavel. Like the 2015 model, the naked new model has the same aggressive look and sharp lines that define the Diavel family. Ducati engineers made some changes in the power and torque department. The new 2016 model has 152 hp, but with a peak at 9,000 rpm, unlike its predecessor, which has 155 hp at 9,250 rpm. In the torque department was a slight decrease in Nm, from 125 Nm (92 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, which was for the older model, to 123 Nm (91 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm for the new model.

The 2016 Ducati Diavel was getting its power from the 1198cc Testastretta L-Twin liquid-cooled engine, stuffed inside a tubular steel Trellis frame with a six-speed manual gearbox and a single-sided lightweight aluminum swingarm.

The suspension was left unchanged, with a 50 mm Marzocchi fully adjustable upside-down fork with DLC treatment on the front side and a fully adjustable monoshock on the rear.

In the braking department, the bike has two 320 mm discs, four-piston calipers, Brembo Monobloc stopping the front wheel, and a 265 mm disc, two-piston caliper on the rear.

The 2016 model has excellent handling thanks to its Marzocchi suspension, and it can be a knee-scratching machine thanks to its Pirelli Diablo Rosso 2 rubbers.
