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

In 2014, Ducati released a new model of Diavel Dark, which is suited to riders with a taste for darker, edgier machines.

The difference between the Dark model and its siblings are the all-black parts and color scheme, like the matte black bodywork and frame, the black on the wheels, the DLC coating of the fork sliders, the anodized finish on the tank-side air-ducts, the finished mufflers, and the black foot control pedals, bars, mirrors, and headlamp body.

In the tech department, the model has the same state-of-the-art technologies as the base model.

The powerplant of the new 2014 Ducati Diavel Dark is a 1198cc Testastretta L-Twin engine that develops a power of 162 hp at 9,250 rpm and 130 Nm (96 lb-ft) of torque at 8,000 rpm. The engine is bolted to a six-speed manual transmission.

The suspension has its place on the tubular steel Trellis frame and has a Marzocchi 50 mm fully adjustable USD fork on the front and a progressive linkage with a fully adjustable monoshock on the rear.

In the braking department, the model has two 320 mm semi-floating discs on the front wheel, and a 265 mm disc, two-piston floating caliper on the rear wheel.

The 2014 Ducati Diavel Dark was for sale in 2022 starting from $11,000.
