DIAVEL V4 1158

About this motorcycle

The Ducati Diavel V4 may look like the familiar cruiser motorbike but it's a completely different beast to before. Dumping the old V-twin in the previous Diavel 1260 for a V4 has given it a new lease of life, but that's not the whole story. It's sportier than ever and to prove it Ducati chose to launch it on a 7.5-mile stretch of closed road on Jebel Hafeet, Abu Dhabi's only mountain. It isn't just any old road, but one littered with 60 ultra-grippy corners, from hairpins to fast sweepers and not a straight piece of tarmac in sight. Think of it as the Pikes Peak of the Middle East and not the kind of place you'd normally bring something cruiser shaped. Unquestionably niche and unapologetically expensive, the new Diavel V4 won't be for everyone, but it's more than just a shiny red cruiser. It demolishes 60mph in less than three seconds, stops with the ferocity of a racer and flows through corners like a supersport bike. Its new engine is as happy plodding along on two cylinders as it is delivering brutal acceleration in full V4 mode. It's beautifully equipped and well finished, but best of all, thanks to clever use of tech and substantial weight loss, it's nimbler, sportier and a whole lot more fun than it has any right to be.
