Ducati has unveiled its entire range of MY2019 motorcycles at an international conference ahead of EICMA 2018. Among three new motorcycles announced at the event is the new 'Devil' - the Diavel 1260.
Diavel retains the styling character of the original, but the updated styling reduces some of the visual bulk. On the contrary, the new Diavel is 8 kgs heavier than the outgoing version.
The new Diavel is built around the Testastretta DVT 1262 engine, shared with the Multistrada 1260, that now produces 159 hp@ 9,500 rpm and 129Nm@ 7,500 rpm. Variable valve timing and ride by wire is claimed to provide a flatter torque curve than earlier.
The top-spec Diavel 1260 S which employs a fully adjustable 48mm fork and rear shock from Ohlins. Braking duties are handling by 2*320mm Brembo disc with 4 piston monoblock callipers up front, and a 265mm Brembo disc with a 2 piston calliper at the rear. Both front and rear braking is controlled by Bosch cornering ABS systems.
The electronics package includes a TFT screen with a separate indicator panel, located respectively over and below the handlebar. Full LED system, cruise control, Ducati Safety Pack (DSP), Ducati Traction Control (DTC), Ducati Wheelie Control Evo (DWC), Ducati Power Launch Evo (DPL) etc are all present.
Seat height is low at 790mm, and Ducati claims to have the perfect ergonomics with a higher handlebar, a lower seat and central footpegs- a comfortable and versatile riding position.
Front end now comes with 120/70 R17 Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tyres.
While the rear gets a massive 240/45 R17 tyre spec Pirelli Diablo Rosso III.
The Diavel 1260 is compatible with the new Ducati Link app, thanks to which it is possible to set the travel mode (combination of Load Mode and Riding Mode) and customise the parameters of each single Riding Mode (ABS, Ducati Traction Control, etc.) using your smartphone to create personalised setting scenarios easily and intuitively.

Ducati currently offers the Diavel in India as a CBU from Thailand, and the new generation 1260 is expected to be launched next year.

2019 Ducati Diavel 1260, Diavel 1260 S launched in India, priced Rs 17.70 lakh and Rs 19.25 lakh respectively.
Bike looks awesome, no wonder the Bike has won the Red Dot design award recently. agree:
What a futuristic looking bike . A complete departure from the norm, this one takes the fun of unruly riding to a whole new level.
From what I ve read, despite having a 240 section rear, it is very impressive on the twisties and the Pirelli Rosso III has a huge role to play in it.
A treat for the eyes this Devil.
What a tasty looking bike this is. I am waiting for VST Ducati to get a test ride bike and get a nice long ride on this.

Is that well priced? I'm guessing a little bump from the old price?
I'm interested in the Diavel but I don't go out of town and that alone doesn't validate the purchase. My Street Triple RS barely did 3500 kms in the 1.5 years I've owned. Wife wouldn't be happy with another motorcycle.

Pretty well priced. Old one was around 16L ex-showroom ... but Ducati raised all prices by about 10%-15% in Jan. So 17.7 is around what the old one would have been anyway.
If you dont go out of town - Diavel is not the bike for you. It will be very heavy and unwieldy - plus will get quite hot as well in traffic. Its best enjoyed on open roads.
The side profile and the L twin engine looks stunning. It is priced well, hope I see a few on the road. The seat looks so plush and soft, makes me want to get something like that for my bike too lol:
I think it is decently priced. Really a life style bike this. Does not do everything, but whatever it does it does well.
In reality its an over the top street fighter. Looks smashing and goes like stink.
