In 2011 Ducati was released the Diavel. the model was essentially an assault weapon with one target in its crosshairs – the power cruiser market. This was new territory for the Bologna-based manufacturer, and the Diavel quickly gained recognition, bringing Ducati’s underlying image of performance to a new audience. The Diavel’s design returned as a carryover in 2012, though with addition of special editions, such as the Chromo and AMG (before the Audi takeover).

For 2013 Diavel Carbon arrives exclusively in carbon red and black, and the standard in three new color versions: Diavel Dark in matte black with black-finished components, and two “street-sport” schemes that introduce metallic blue or Ducati red with stylish white stripes, white wheels and special defining features.

The engine arrived with 1198cc desmo,Testastretta 11°, L-Twin cylinder, 4 valve per cylinder, liquid cooled. The engine breaths through Mitsubishi electronic fuel injection system with Mikuni elliptical throttle bodies and Ride-by-Wire, and massive 58mm exhaust headers the lead into a 2-1-2 system. Its can produce 162hp (119kW) @ 9500rpm of power and 94lb-ft (127.5Nm) @ 8000rpm of torque.

All Ducati model’s always came with riding modes. For the Diavel, Ducati features three of ridding modes – Urban, which reduces power to 100 horespower and DTC to five for stop-and go traffic; Touring, which allows 162 horsepower administered at a user-friendly pace, and a level four DTC setting; and Sport, which releases all 162 horsepower with full-on throttle response, and a level 3 traction control.

The chassis features a Ducati Trellis frame for torsional rigidity and an aluminun single-sided swingarm. Up front, the Diavel utilizes 50mm Marzocchi forks that are fully adjustable. On the Dark and Carbon versions, these forks are DCL coated. Out back, Sachs rear suspension features a progressive pull-rod linkage from the swingarm that is also fully adjustable. As of this writing, the MSRP was not released for the 2013 Ducati Diavel, but expect to pay around $18,000 for the standard, and $19,000 for the Carbon.
