Whether you’re carving through urban landscapes or enjoying long highway stretches, the XDiavel S is engineered to deliver an exhilarating ride that’s hard to resist. At the heart of the XDiavel S lies the formidable Testastretta DVT 1262 engine, a V-twin powerhouse that displaces 1262 cc and produces an impressive 160 HP at 9500 RPM, accompanied by a robust torque of 127 Nm at 5000 RPM.

The XDiavel S doesn’t stop at raw power; it’s loaded with advanced features that enhance both performance and rider experience. With adjustable ride modes, traction control, and cruise control, this motorcycle allows you to tailor your ride to match your style and the road conditions. The tubular steel trellis frame, coupled with a 50mm USD fork and a rear mono shock with preload and rebound adjustments, ensures that the handling is as responsive as the engine. Complementing its technical prowess is the stunning Thrilling Black color option, which perfectly accentuates the bike’s aggressive styling. Additionally, the XDiavel S comes with a 24-month unlimited mileage warranty, reflecting Ducati’s commitment to quality and reliability. **
