Ducati Diavel V4
About
The Ducati Diavel V4 is a powerhouse of a motorcycle that has evolved significantly from its predecessors. Powered by the V4 Granturismo engine, which produces 166 bhp and 126 Nm of torque, this bike is a marvel of engineering. It features a lighter aluminium monocoque chassis, reducing its weight by 13 kg compared to the 1260 model, and boasts a sharper steering geometry thanks to its lower wheelbase, rake, and trail. The bike comes with multiple riding modes Sport, Touring, Urban, and Wet each customizable to suit different riding conditions. The suspension, though not the semi-active Skyhook system, is surprisingly comfortable and adept at handling Indian road conditions. The Brembo Stylema brakes are exceptional, and the bikes design, with its single-sided swingarm and quad-exhaust tips, is nothing short of stunning. While it may not be practical for daily commuting due to its size and heat issues in traffic, the Diavel V4 is an excellent choice for those seeking a high-performance motorcycle that combines style, power, and advanced technology.

Mileage
Monday, 18 November 2024 04:00 PM
The fuel efficiency of the Ducati Diavel V4 is a mixed bag, particularly in the context of Indian riding conditions. While the bike boasts a larger 20-litre fuel tank, which is a welcome addition for long-distance touring, its actual mileage can vary significantly. In city traffic, the engines tendency to heat up and the frequent stops can reduce fuel efficiency. However, on the highway, the Diavel V4 can be quite economical, with some riders reporting that they used less than half a tank for a trip from Mumbai to Pune. Ducati claims a 6 improvement in fuel efficiency with the new V4 engine, but real-world mileage will depend on riding style and conditions. For long-distance riders, the Diavel V4 is reassuring, but for daily commuters, it might not be the most economical choice.
