Overview

Introducing the 2018 Ducati XDiavel S, a striking fusion of power, style, and cutting-edge technology that firmly positions itself in the naked bike category. With its muscular stance, minimalist lines, and unmistakable Italian flair, the XDiavel S is not just a motorcycle; it’s a statement of intent for those who appreciate both performance and aesthetics. Designed to attract riders who crave an exhilarating and comfortable ride, this bike is perfect for spirited city commuting and open-road adventures alike. At the heart of the XDiavel S lies a formidable 1262 cc V2, four-stroke engine that churns out a staggering 152 horsepower at 9,500 RPM and a robust torque of 126 Nm at 5,000 RPM. This impressive powertrain, paired with a 6-speed gearbox and a belt final drive, ensures seamless acceleration and an engaging riding experience. The bike’s liquid cooling system keeps the engine running optimally, even under spirited conditions, while the Bosch fuel injection system guarantees precise fuel delivery and efficiency, achieving a fuel consumption of 5.30 liters per 100 km. Whether you’re carving through winding roads or cruising along the highway, the XDiavel S promises to deliver an adrenaline rush like no other. What truly sets the XDiavel S apart is its innovative technology and premium features. The tubular steel trellis frame provides both stability and agility, allowing for confidence-inspiring handling. The adjustable USD forks in the front and a single shock absorber at the rear, offering adjustable preload and rebound, ensure a customizable ride quality tailored to your preferences. Safety and control are paramount, thanks to advanced features like ABS and traction control, which help maintain grip in various riding conditions. The bike’s design also boasts an inviting seat height of just 755 mm, making it accessible for a wide range of riders. Available in sleek color options of white or black, the XDiavel S is as much a feast for the eyes as it is a thrilling ride. **
