Our take on this /// Verdict
The Ducati XDiavel Dark is a masterpiece that seamlessly blends the comfort of a cruiser with the performance of a sports bike. My experience with this bike has been nothing short of exhilarating. The total blackout theme extends to the mechanics and finishes, giving it a sleek and menacing appearance that accentuates its beautiful lines.

The bikes ability to provide 80 of its maximum torque at just 2100 RPM ensures smooth acceleration without the need for frequent gear shifts.

The exclusive livery, premium cosmetic parts, and advanced features make it a worthwhile investment for those who crave a high-end riding experience. For enthusiasts who value both power and aesthetics, the XDiavel Dark is a compelling choice despite its premium pricing.

Latest Updates
Monday, 20 November 2023 07:58 PM
The Ducati XDiavel Dark has been removed from the USA and UK websites, suggesting it may be discontinued for 2024. Although it is still listed on some international websites, this move indicates a possible end to its production run in key markets. I believe this could be a significant loss for fans of the unique cruiser-sport hybrid.

For the 2021 model year, Ducati introduced the XDiavel Dark, featuring a matte black livery that extends to its mechanical components and finishes. This design enhances the Reduce to the Max principle, emphasizing purity and essentiality. The bike also boasts a Testastretta DVT 1262 engine, compliant with Euro 5 emissions standards, delivering 160 hp and 7.23 lb-ft of torque. I think the all-black look really brings out the sleek design of the XDiavel.

The XDiavel Dark, part of the 2021 lineup, comes with advanced technology including Riding Modes and a new engine calibration. The bike features a belt transmission, forward footpegs, and 14-spoke rims with Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tires. This combination offers both comfort and high-performance capabilities. I believe the blend of cruiser comfort and sporty performance makes the XDiavel Dark a compelling choice.

Ducatis 2021 XDiavel range, including the XDiavel Dark, became compliant with the Euro 5 emissions standard. This update brought an increase of 8 hp and 0.2 kgm in maximum power and torque, along with a smoother delivery curve. The XDiavel Darks design and performance enhancements make it an attractive option for those seeking a powerful yet elegant cruiser. I think the Euro 5 compliance is a significant step towards sustainability without compromising performance.

The XDiavel Dark was made available at Ducati dealers starting from its introduction in 2021. This model, with its matte black livery, represents the entry point into the XDiavel world, combining the relaxed pace of a cruiser with the sporty ride characteristic of Ducati. I believe the immediate availability of the XDiavel Dark was a smart move to capitalize on the models unique appeal.
Mileage
Monday, 18 November 2024 08:33 PM
When it comes to mileage, the Ducati XDiavel Dark, like most high-performance motorcycles, is not designed for fuel efficiency. With its powerful 1262cc engine, the bikes mileage is typically around 10-15 kml, depending on the riding conditions and style. In city traffic, you can expect it to be on the lower side, while highway cruising might yield slightly better figures. However, for a bike that offers such immense power and performance, the mileage is quite reasonable. If youre looking for a bike that combines thrill and comfort without worrying too much about fuel costs, the XDiavel Dark is a good choice, but its essential to be aware of its fuel consumption.
