XDiavel V4 means Ducati DNA applied to the sport cruiser concept. A bike for those who want something different from all the rest, able to combine riding excitement with sophisticated technology and unmistakable Italian style. The relaxed and comfortable feet-forward riding position combines with the thrill of the Granturismo V4, which offers similar torque to that of a twin.

The signature full-LED front and rear headlamps and dynamic turn signals integrated into the side panels unmistakably contribute to the XDiavel V4's aesthetic appeal. The front DRL, with its double-C profile, catalyzes attention in a play of contrasts with the headlamp's internal texturing. Together with the rear light cluster, positioned under the tail, it welcomes the rider through the Welcome Effect when the ignition is turned on, emphasizing the sophistication and attention to every detail of the XDiavel.

The heart of performance, but also a key design element, the XDiavel V4 Granturismo is the only Ducati engine to flaunt a glossy surface finish. Its presence is highlighted by the cover with “V4” logo on the rear cylinders, which emphasise the technical uniqueness of XDiavel in the segment, while the cast aluminium subframe has a complex structure that accentuates the sense of movement side-on.

A great deal of work has gone into the engine sound. The Twin Pulse firing order of the V4 Granturismo, together with the dedicated exhaust system with its classic Ducati timbre, results in a variation in exhaust tone when switching from one mode to the other. A deeper sound, with lower frequencies, when only the two front cylinders are activated, or higher frequences when all four cylinders are in operation.

The V4 Granturismo is equipped with a counter-rotating crankshaft, technology derived from Ducati experience in MotoGP. This innovation “counters” the gyroscopic inertia of the wheels, improving handling and riding precision.

The V4 Granturismo guarantees smooth delivery at low rpm and exciting torque at the top end. The exhilarating performance of the V4 Granturismo engine equates to 168 hp (123.6 kW) at 10,750 rpm and 126 Nm (12.8 kgm) at 7500 rpm, with a particularly linear torque curve.

Perfect for riding in the city, and with incredible power on the open road. When you open the throttle, the V4 engine delivers similar torque to its V-twin predecessor, but greater power. There is nothing similar on the road for riders who seek something comfortable, with exciting performance and Ducati style.

XDiavel V4 is the first bike equipped with the V4 Granturismo engine to come complete with DQS (Ducati Quick Shift) 2.0 derived from the Panigale V4. The system, which allows the rider to shift up and down without using the clutch, evolves with respect to the previous version thanks to significant mechanical updates to the control pedal, which sees the traditional lever with Hall-effect microswitch swapped for a direct mechanical lever.

This feature deactivates the engine’s rear cylinders, acting both when stationary with engine on, at traffic lights for example, and when travelling at low speed in particular conditions, to reduce consumption. As the speed increases, or as soon as the throttle demands a certain level of torque, the rear cylinders reactivate, ensuring all the character and performance of the V4 Granturismo.

The V4 Granturismo also has a positive impact on maintenance costs, which are reduced thanks to extremely long service intervals. An oil change is required every 15,000 kilometres or two years, while the valve clearance check is every 60,000 kilometres.

The fully adjustable suspension on the XDiavel V4 consists of a 50 mm USD fork (with adjustment of the compression and preload on the left stanchion and rebound on the right stanchion) and a shock with separate reservoir. Wheel travel is 120 mm at the front and 145 mm at the rear, 35 mm more than the XDiavel 1260 for increased rider and passenger comfort.

At the front, the braking performance of the XDiavel V4 is guaranteed by Brembo brakes with Stylema® radial monobloc callipers activated by a PR16/19 radial master cylinder with integrated aluminium reservoir that acts on two 330 mm floating discs. At the rear, the 265 mm disc is served by a two-piston calliper, also by Brembo.

XDiavel V4 is equipped with the Hands-Free system for key-free ignition. Just move close to the bike with the electronic key in your pocket. At a distance of about 1.5 m, the bike will recognize the key code to allow ignition. At this point simply press the key-on button to turn on the display and start the engine. The system also involves an electronic actuator for the steering lock.

Cruise Control makes for more relaxing motorway trips. Activation is visible on the dashboard and the system can also be deactivated by twisting the throttle grip forwards.

XDiavel V4 offers three Power Mode and four Riding Mode: Sport, Touring, Urban and Wet, thanks to which the rider can adapt engine delivery and riding assistance systems intervention.

Sport Riding Mode

The V4 Granturismo, with this Riding Mode, unleashes its full 168 hp with a direct, spirited response. Ducati Traction Control and Ducati Wheelie Control invention is reduced to a minimum and the ABS, set to level 2, allows for controlled lifting of the rear wheel in order to maximize braking performance, while retaining the Cornering function. The ideal choice for expert riders who want to really enjoy the performance of the XDiavel V4.

Touring Riding Mode

In Touring Riding Mode, the XDiavel V4 still unleashes its full 168 hp but delivery is smoother and more progressive. Higher DTC and DWC intervention levels make for greater controllability of the vehicle. The ABS is set to level 3, the safest and most prudential thanks to rear-wheel lift detection, optimisation of the combined braking, and the active Cornering function.

Urban Riding Mode

In Urban Riding Mode power output is reduced to a maximum of 115 hp (Low Power Mode) with a particularly gentle and progressive response. DTC and DWC are set to high levels, while ABS is set to level 3.

Wet Riding Mode

Wet Riding Mode is designed for riding on low grip surfaces, or in the wet. This mode limits maximum power to 115 hp with a particularly gentle throttle response (Low Power Mode). The predefined level of the electronic controls is set to offer maximum safety, ensuring the best possible traction and stability.

Each Riding Mode is associated with one of three Power Modes: High, Medium, Low. 

The High and Medium Power Modes both allow the V4 Granturismo engine to unleash its full power, or rather 168 hp at 10,750 rpm, with maximum torque of 126 Nm at 7500 rpm, but with different calibration of the Ride by Wire maps. High Power Mode, associated in terms of its predefined values with the Sport Riding Mode, is designed for sports riding and offers a direct and spirited throttle response. Medium Power Mode, attributed by default to the Touring Riding Mode, is characterised by a smoother and more progressive engine response to the rider’s demand for torque.

Low Power Mode, associated by default with the Urban and Wet Riding Modes, is designed for riding on low grip surfaces, limiting the bike’s maximum power to 115 hp at 8750 rpm and maximum torque to 114 Nm at 5750 rpm, and offering a particularly manageable throttle response.

The Ducati Multimedia System is standard equipment on the XDiavel V4 and allows the rider to connect their smartphone via Bluetooth for calls, SMS, and music or use the Turn-by-Turn navigation system via Ducati Link App.

With this equipment it is impossible to go unnoticed. All the accessories help make your XDiavel V4 even more unique and special.

The full racing exhaust, with titanium silencer and carbon cover, blends unmistakable Ducati style and Akrapovič manufacturing expertise to unleash the sports character of XDiavel V4. Highlighting the insolent spirit of this configuration is the STM dry clutch with its iconic sound.

The carbon headlight eyelid, carbon mudguards, red callipers and single-seat tail section complete the sports look. Further enhancing the bike are aluminium rear-view mirrors and brake and clutch reservoir caps, created by Rizoma.

For a more aggressive riding position, the central footpeg kit helps boost the bike’s lean angle.
