Ducati have just launched the new 2014 Diavel which boasts new slash-cut vertically stacked exhaust silencers and innovative LED headlight design.

The intoxicating design of the Ducati Diavel has prove popular combining the comfort of a cruiser with the brute force of its 162 hp Testastretta engine and razor sharp handling.  A massive 240 section rear tyre is one example of how Diavel designers used a no-compromise attitude when applying their wish list of features.

At the heart of the Diavel is the Ducati Testastretta 11° Dual Spark (DS) – developed directly from the powerful race engines of Ducati Corse.  Ducati's Testastretta 11° DS harnesses the immense power of the Superbike engine and makes it smoother and more linear, combining high performance with an enjoyable and perfectly manageable ride.

The massive 58mm (2.28in) section exhaust headers lead the 2-1-2 system through power-enhancing equal length pipes that enable the Diavel's efficient power delivery. The engine management system dedicates a lambda probe to each header, providing precise fueling via a large airbox, while the new slash-cut vertically stacked exhaust silencers carry catalytic converters to provide Euro 3 conformity and feature an electronically controlled mid-section valve to optimise exhaust pressures throughout the rev-range.

The full LED headlamp perfectly lights the Diavel's way, and with two vertical LED positioning lights flanking the main illuminating beam, it gives unmistakable character to the bike while also creating a family feeling with the Monster 1200.

The redesigned, more comfortable seat offers more room and has a low height of 770 mm, which allows for extended hours of riding pleasure and makes the Diavel accessible to a wide range of riders.

The Diavel is a true Ducati, born from a passion for motorcycling and designed to deliver authentic Ducati performance in every respect.
