The Panigale V4-derived Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine is also available on the Multistrada V4 RS.

Ducati is planning a limited-edition version of the Diavel, which could use the Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine.

According to a document published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the new model is the Diavel V4 RS. The document also mentions that the bike is scheduled for launch in 2026.

The Panigale V4-derived Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine is also available on the Multistrada V4 RS. It delivers 177 BHP and 118 Nm, which is significantly higher than the V4 Granturismo motor that powers the standard Diavel. The latter has 168 BHP and 126 Nm.

The Diavel V4 RS might also feature a few cosmetic changes, carbon fibre panels, and a sportier exhaust. All units will be individually numbered.
