Numbered and limited edition

The XDiavel Nera will be produced in a limited-edition numbered series of 500 units. The serial number is engraved on a dedicated plate on the trellis frame.

Saddled by hand

The most recognizable part of the XDiavel Nera is the special seat made of Pelle Frau®: a soft natural leather saddled by hand, the result of years of research by Poltrona Frau. It is available in 5 different colours (Siam, Steel Blue, Cemento, India and Selva) and is customized with a series of "X" engraved through a sophisticated laser process, which recall the name of the bike.

Techno-cruiser Soul

XDiavel Nera expresses the power of opposites, combining the relaxed pace typical of the cruiser world with the sporty ride and thrilling performance of Ducati. The twin-cylinder Testastretta DVT 1262 is the beating heart of XDiavel. The chassis, suspension, braking system and electronic equipment guarantee comfort, safety and high-level performance at the same time.

Unique and unmistakeable

Each saddle, handmade in natural Pelle Frau® leather, is a unique piece, it is available in 5 different colors directly from the Poltrona Frau palette. Accompanying all this are added a wider comfort saddle and a backrest, also in Pelle Frau® leather, suitable for travelling in two without sacrificing style.

Electronic riding aid systems

Many of the electronic systems that are now standard on motorbikes were pioneered by Ducati, which has earned a place among the most advanced companies in the sector. Safety, comfort and performance improved thanks to the continuous improvement.

  • SAFETY
    ABS Cornering
    An anti-lock braking system is a safety system that prevents a vehicle’s wheels from locking during heavy braking. Essentially, the ABS regulates the braking pressure on the wheel, allowing it to continuously have traction on the riding surface. There are different ABS intervention levels, depending on the selected Riding Mode.

Power & Elegance. Together.

Beating heart of XDiavel Nera, the Testastretta DVT 1262 delivers a maximum power output of 160 hp at 9,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 13.0 kgm at 5,000 rpm*. Desmodromic Variable Timing, the variable valve timing with desmodromic distribution system, allows theoretically conflicting objectives to be achieved: prompt and smooth response at low revs, generous torque throughout the curve and sports performance when the throttle is fully opened.

*Euro-5 versions

The bike’s chassis, its low seat height and the forward position of the foot pegs are all designed to offer incredible riding ease and comfort when travelling in a relaxed fashion at lower speeds, while also making sports riding as fun as possible. The combination of the steel tube trellis frame, the suspension system and the chassis design guarantees agility and manoeuvrability. The brake system is powerful and adjustable and, like the entire Ducati range, is equipped with cornering ABS. The electronic equipment is extremely complete and allows you to significantly raise the level of performance and safety.

Testastretta DVT 1262

The Testastretta DVT 1262 twin-cylinder engine, beating heart of XDiavel S, delivers a maximum power output of 160 hp* at 9,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 13.0 kgm at 5,000 rpm. *Euro-5 version

Torque always available

Approximately 80% of the maximum torque of the XDiavel S is almost immediately available: at 2,100 rpm. This means you can pick up speed without having to shift down a gear, by sightly opening the throttle. Just like you expect from a cruiser. The torque peak - 13.0 kgm - is reached instead at 5,000 rpm, a pretty low speed for a Ducati twin-cylinder engine. If you want the maximum, when the rev counter pointer reaches 9,500 rpm, the wheel gets 160 hp. (Only for countries where Euro 5 standard applies).

Ducati Power Launch

The spirit of the XDiavel S can be fully expressed thanks to the Ducati Power Launch. This system can guarantee fast and safe starts thanks to the Bosch IMU which regulates the gas.

Belt transmission

The XDiavel S is the first Ducati to use belt final drive. A must in the cruiser world, the system was developed for the XDiavel S by Ducati engineers so as to be able to guarantee reliable and safe transmission of the power supplied by the Ducati Testastretta DVT 1262.

Forward footpegs

The XDiavel S ergonomic started from a basic concept: a relaxed riding position, like a real cruiser, with a low seat and forward footpegs. The footpegs of the XDiavel S can be adjusted as standard in three positions (+/- 22.5 mm compared to the standard position).

Adjustable suspension

The adjustable XDiavel S suspensions guarantee high comfort even on long distances and perfect control during fast riding.

Brembo braking system

The XDiavel S is equipped, as standard, with the Brembo braking system with Bosch 9.1ME ABS Cornering. ABS Cornering makes use of the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) platform by Bosch to optimise the braking power of the front and back wheels, also in critical situations and when cornering.

Tyres and wheels

At the front the wheel is 3.5" x 17'', while at the back it is 8" x 17''. The large rear tyre uses double compound technology to increase grip during the most extreme cornering, guaranteeing at the same time high kilometric performance and applying Enhanced Patch Technology to maximise the contact area with any lean angle. The tread design and the compounds used guarantee exceptional performance in all conditions, especially in the wet.

Riding Mode

The XDiavel S integrates the latest innovations in Ducati technology, such as Riding Modes. The three Riding Modes work by combining different cutting-edge technologies, such as Ride-by-Wire, Ducati Traction Control and ABS Cornering Bosch systems.
