Evil: 2021 Ducati XDiavel Dark and XDiavel Black Star!

Ducati expands the XDiavel family with the introduction of two new models for 2021: XDiavel Dark and XDiavel Black Star. The XDiavel Dark embodies the beauty of the Ducati Cruiser shape thanks to the perfection of the matt black color. The motorcycle manufacturer from Bologna looks back on a history of more than twenty years with the color matt black, which began in 1998 with the Monster 600 Dark, the first model in this paintwork. In the case of the XDiavel Dark, the completely black paintwork has also been extended to the mechanical components, the side frame plates and the finish, whereby the Ducati “Reduce to the Max” design is lived out to the full. The XDiavel Dark, the entry into the XDiavel world, represents the pure and unmistakable nature of this model.

Ducati XDiavel Dark and Black Star!

The new XDiavel Black Star shows enthusiasts the sporty side of the Ducati Cruiser with paintwork and equipment inspired by the world of sports cars. The special paintwork comes in gray and matt black with attractive red accents. Their color cuts are clear and overlapping and reflect the characteristic X concept of the model family. No detail was left out of this motorcycle: the red cylinder heads pay homage to the essential Ducati soul and the seat covered with non-slip suede is reminiscent of the brand's sportiness.

Characteristic elements of the XDiavel Black Star are its forged rims, which are elaborately manufactured and painted in gloss black. They contribute significantly to the aesthetics of the motorcycle and at the same time help the cruiser to save over 2 kilograms in weight. The front of the motorcycle is equipped with a rim measuring 3,5 "x 17", and an 8 "x 17" rim is fitted at the rear. A 120/70 ZR17 tire with a newly designed profile is traditionally mounted on the front wheel, which maximizes performance in wet conditions. The rear tire is an extra wide 240/45 ZR17. The motorcycle comes standard with Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tires.

Both in the new XDiavel versions and in the entire 2021 series, the Ducati Testastretta DVT 1262 two-cylinder engine meets the Euro 5 standard in all countries that introduce this standard. In order to meet the new European emissions standard, a new engine configuration was installed and an updated muffler layout was used, which was adopted from the design of the Diavel 1260. In this way, the XDiavel now delivers a maximum output of 160 hp at 9.500 rpm and a maximum torque of 127 Nm at 5.000 rpm with an increase of 8 hp and 2 Nm compared to the Euro 4 version. Like all Ducatis of the latest generation, the XDiavel is also equipped with a Bosch Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). By dynamically measuring the roll and tilt angles as well as the speed of the relative changes in the chassis, it supplies information to the Bosch cornering ABS, which improves performance and safety standards.

This system, together with Ducati Traction Control (DTC), Riding Modes, Bosch Cornering ABS, cruise control and Ducati Power Launch (DPL), make the XDiavel a technological jewel that combines high performance with safety. XDiavel is the result of the merger of two completely different and distant universes, united in a single motorcycle. A synthesis in which both merge in a comprehensive, completely uncompromising way. The X of the XDiavel represents exactly this crossover between the relaxed pace at low speed of a cruiser and the excitement and adrenaline level of the sporty driving style of a Ducati.
