Our take on this /// Verdict
The Ducati Diavel, particularly the 1260 and now the V4 variants, is a powerhouse of a motorcycle that defies conventional categories. It blends the raw, visceral appeal of a cruiser with the performance and handling of a sportbike. The Diavels design is nothing short of stunning, with its low-slung LED headlamp, muscular fuel tank, and that iconic single-sided swingarm. Riding the Diavel is an exhilarating experience the bike comes alive above 3,000 rpm, delivering a surge of torque that is both thrilling and intimidating. The adjustable suspension and top-notch Brembo brakes ensure that the bike handles Indian roads with surprising ease, despite its size and weight. However, the heat management, especially in congested traffic, remains a slight concern. Overall, the Diavel is a special motorcycle that makes every ride an occasion, but its not for the faint of heart.
Price
The Ducati Diavel V4, which is the latest iteration, is priced around 30 lakh ex-showroom in India. When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other taxes, the price can easily exceed 35 lakh. This is a significant investment, but for those who crave the unique blend of style, performance, and exclusivity that the Diavel offers, it might be worth it. The price reflects the high-quality components, advanced electronics, and the premium brand value of Ducati. While its certainly not a budget-friendly option, the Diavel V4 is a motorcycle that stands out in every aspect, making it a worthwhile consideration for serious enthusiasts.
Mileage
Tuesday, 19 November 2024 08:26 PM
Mileage is not the Diavels strong suit, given its powerful engine and performance-oriented design. You can expect around 10-15 kml in mixed riding conditions, which is reasonable for a bike of its caliber but not impressive for everyday commuting. However, if youre buying a Diavel, youre likely more concerned with its performance and handling rather than its fuel efficiency. Running costs will be higher due to the need for premium fuel and occasional maintenance of its advanced components.
