Dare to be Bold
Standing out from the crowd
Muscular, sporty, exaggerated and elegant at the same time, able to focus attention anywhere. The Ducati Diavel V4 RS combines technical, dynamic and stylistic features, such as those of sport nakeds and muscle cruisers. The exhilarating performances of the V4 Desmodromic engine are melded with astounding agility and dynamics for a motorcycle of this sector. The Ducati Diavel V4 RS is the fastest accelerating Ducati produced to date. 0-60mph in just 2.52 seconds!!
Muscular lines and an imposing front bring out the strong and restless personality of the new Diavel V4 RS, featuring a long, slender rear with a 240 mm rear wheel. The color range of the Diavel V4 RS will be available in a single colourway.
The new Diavel V4 RS combines the performance of a maxi-naked with the ergonomics of a muscle cruiser. Its design reinterprets the Diavel style with a contemporary look and integrates perfectly a 182 hp Desmosedici Stradale V4 Engine, the beating heart of this new Diavel V4 RS. For ease of riding Ducati have given the Diavel V4 RS an up and down quick shifter for maximum comfort, and speed.
Sportiness and comfort meet in the new Diavel V4 RS. The aluminum monocoque frame ensure lightness and torsional rigidity, while the adjustable fork provides comfort and stability. The care devoted to ergonomics is complemented by the perfect combination of a higher handlebar, a lower seat and central footpegs, with a comfortable and versatile riding position.
The muscle-cruiser for those who don't want to go unnoticed. The Ducati Diavel V4 RS draws inspiration from muscle cars, from the aesthetics of superheroes, and reproduces the image of an athlete ready to sprint out of the starting blocks. The RS version is an absolute beast!
The engine is the king
Built around the V4 Granturismo engine
The new Diavel V4 RS is built around the Desmosedici Stradale V4 Engine, with Desmo and dry clutch, a new benchmark of power, beauty and sophistication. Its 182 hp translates to unbelievable acceleration and pick-up, while the flat and consistent torque curve in low rpm allows steady and easy to handle delivery. The Ride by Wire (RbW) control matched with three Riding Modes and three Power Modes allows you to personalise engine responsiveness. A true beauty, as far as mechanics and design go, and a real game changer on the road.
Forged Rims
Chassis - 8Kg
The Diavel V4 features a chassis with a monocoque frame and single-sided swingarm, both made of aluminum, which combined with the lightness of the Desmosedici Stradale V4 Engine results in a kerb weight without fuel of 220 kg | 485 lb, -3 kg vs Diavel V4
The weight reduction allows for a well-perceived improvement in agility and handling.
A plethora of carbon fibre components aid further in the reduction of weight.

The operating parameters of each control are associated by default with the four Riding Modes with which the Diavel V4 is equipped: Race (New), Sport, Touring and Wet mode, designed specifically for low-grip surfaces. Each riding mode includes one of 3 power modes, which defines the maximum level of power that can be delivered and engine response, and the intervention levels of the electronic riding aid systems.
The Sport Riding Mode is the best performing one. The Diavel V4, with this Riding Mode, delivers its 168 hp with a direct and gutsy response.
In Touring Riding Mode, the maximum power of the Diavel V4 remains 168 hp, but the delivery is softer and more progressive and the level of intervention of DTC and DWC is raised for greater vehicle controllability.
The power delivery of the Urban Riding Mode is reduced to 115 hp (Low Power Mode) with a particularly softened and progressive response to better manage the continuous changes of surface.
The Wet Riding Mode is designed for riding on low-grip surfaces, or more precisely in wet conditions.
Full LED
Unmistakably Diavel
At the front, the LED daytime running light is shaped like a double C, while the dynamic direction indicators are integrated into the handlebar, in front of the brake and clutch controls, making the front view cleaner.
The rear light cluster consists of a matrix of punctiform LEDs positioned under the tail, also with an unmistakably Diavel optical signature.
Indicators are subtly designed and placed but all LED to inform others clearly of the riders next intentions.
