DUCATI Diavel Carbon (2013-2014) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2010, at the EICMA Motorcycle Show in Milan, Ducati unveiled a new cruiser motorcycle called Diavel. The style of the bike was developed in-house and began under the leadership of Pierre Terblanche, which then commissioned freelance designer Glynn Kerr to produce the initial concept sketches. The Diavel came in two versions: the Dark, which was the standard model, and Carbon, which featured carbon parts, as well as coated front suspension.

The Italian engineers from Ducati improved performance for the 2014 Ducati Diavel Carbon thanks to the forged Marchesini wheels, milled aluminum brake disc carriers, carbon fiber fairing, and accessories that help it tip the scale at 205 kg (451 lbs).

The 2014 Diavel Carbon sports the same Testastretta L-Twin liquid-cooled engine as the base model and develops 162 hp at 9,250 rpm and 130 Nm (96 lb-ft) of torque at 8,000 rpm.

For suspension, the model has a Marzocchi DLC-coated 50 mm fully adjustable USD fork on the front, a progressive linkage with a fully adjustable monoshock on the rear.

The model has Brembo brakes with two 320 mm semi-floating discs on the front, a 265 mm disc on the rear, and ABS as standard equipment.

The lightweight forged and machined nine-spoke Marchesini wheels that put the engine's power to the ground were fitted with Pirelli Diablo Rosso 2 tires.
