Ducati has revealed the new Diavel V4 and, as the name suggests, the biggest change for the power cruiser is the adoption of Bologna’s V4 Granturismo engine. But that isn’t all, Ducati has also given the Diavel significant styling and chassis changes for 2023
The new V4 is unmistakably a Diavel. It still gets a muscular tank, large air vents on either side on the headlamp, a scooped seat with a slender tail section and that large rear tyre with a hugger, and a single-sided swingarm. However, the Italian manufacturer has made some significant changes for this new model. The 2023 Diavel gets a new LED headlight with C-shaped LED DRLs, two-tone alloys with a diamond cut effect, while the rear light is now an array of small LEDs under the tail section, which mimic the C-shaped pattern of the DRLs up front.
The 2023 Ducati Diavel V4 gets a 5.0-inch TFT display with Bluetooth, dynamic indicators, cruise control, launch control, a six-axis IMU, cornering ABS, traction control and wheelie control. The Ducati Diavel V4 will be available in two colorways – Ducati Red and Thrilling Black.
Ducati has ditched the 159hp, 1,262cc V-twin engine from the outgoing Diavel 1260 in favour of the Granturismo V4 engine that does duty in the Multistrada V4. This 1,158cc, liquid-cooled V4 engine puts out 168hp at 10,750rpm and 126Nm of torque at 7,500rpm in the new Diavel. Interestingly, the V4 engine comes with a cylinder deactivation system, which shuts down the rear two cylinders as needed to reduce fuel consumption and heating. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox which gets a bi-directional quickshifter.
The Diavel V4 also comes with three power modes and four ride modes – Sport, Touring, Urban, and a new Wet mode. The ride modes adopt different settings for the power output, engine response and intervention levels from the bike’s sophisticated electronic rider aids.
