DUCATI Diavel Strada (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2013, Ducati added to its Diavel family a new member with a few extra features that suit the fans who want to spend more time riding the handlebars. The new model was called Ducati Diavel Strada and featured a touring windscreen, higher handlebars, a larger two-up seat with foam cushioning, heated grips, side luggage, and revised passenger footpegs. All these features come as standard, and in 2013 the Ducati Diavel Strada was the best-equipped touring motorcycle designed by Bolognese engineers.

At its heart lies the proven 1198cc Testastretta L-Twin liquid-cooled engine with an output of 162 hp at 9,250 rpm and 130 Nm (96 lb-ft) of torque at 8,000 rpm, and a six-speed gearbox with a wet multi-disc manual slipper and self-servo with hydraulic control clutch.

For suspension, the bike has a Marzocchi DLC coated 50 mm fully adjustable USD fork working for the front wheel and a progressive linkage with a fully adjustable monoshock on the rear.

In terms of braking, the model has two 320 mm semi-floating discs, monobloc Brembo calipers stopping the front wheel, and a 265 mm disc, two-piston floating caliper wrestling with the rear wheel. Tech-wise, it has a ride-by-wire system, Ducati Traction Control (DTC), and ABS as a standard feature.

The 2013 Strada weighs 216 kg (476 lbs).
