To make it easier for you to find your way around, we have created a list of the most frequently asked questions, divided into subject areas, along with their answers.
Customer ServicesXDiavel V4 means Ducati DNA applied to the sport cruiser concept. A bike for those who want something different from all the rest, able to combine riding excitement with sophisticated technology and unmistakable Italian style. The relaxed and comfortable feet-forward riding position combines with the thrill of the Granturismo V4, which offers similar torque to that of a twin.
The new XDiavel combines the unmistakable and explosive XDiavel essence with the masterpiece that is the V4 technical base. A generous engine that requires a powerful design, despite remaining faithful to Ducati Style. The iconic and recognisable silhouette of the sport cruiser by Ducati is reinterpreted with a modern twist.
The bike is a symbiosis of contrasts, the elegant and sculpted upper section embracing the distinctive mechanical base beneath.
The smooth and muscular sculpted steel teardrop tank combines with an even more comfortable seat to create an unmistakable flyline. The low and compact tail in cast aluminium integrates a sleek rear light that transmits a blade of light.
Both the Black Lava and Burning Red colours are specifically created for XDiavel V4 and designed to emphasise the volumes of the painted elements. The name of both colors is linked to fire, highlighting the strong emotions that this bike evokes. Metallic slivers bring the color to life when the light hits, creating elegant shimmering reflections.
"When you think of a new bike, inspiration never comes from just one field or just one idea. For XDiavel V4, inspiration again came from the automotive and aviation worlds, from the cruiser sector and, naturally, from the previous XDiavel. The flowing and powerful volumes recall a supercar. The shapes are elegant and integrate functional mechanical elements to which we add the appeal and dominant presence of XDiavel.”
Andrea Ferraresi, Head of Product Strategy and Director of Centro Stile Ducati
The lines of the XDiavel V4 play with the strong contrast between the sophisticated superstructures, in the upper section, and the distinctive impact of the mechanics that characterise the lower section. The teardrop shape of the tank makes for curves that transmit energy and elegance.
An audacious line, the aesthetic and technical brilliance of which is highlighted by the four-exit exhaust, on proud display. A great deal of work has gone into the sound quality. Together with the dedicated exhaust system, the Twin Pulse firing order of the V4 Granturismo produces that classic Ducati timbre.
The front DRL with double C design has the typical Ducati naked shape and narrows towards the top, highlighting the sleek appearance of the front end and wrapping itself around a single bifunctional module that has a more aggressive and technical look, while also showing off the heat sink as a design element.
The turn signals are integrated and create a blade of light that makes for a smooth, homogeneous look.
The rear light is extremely sleek, allowing for a very low and agile tail. The welcome animation of the front and rear lights transmits that meticulous attention to detail for which Ducati is known.
The star-spoked rims are inspired by the world of American muscle cars and transmit a sense of power as well as visual lightness that, in the case of the rear wheel, is combined with the depth provided by the 8” section. The rear wheel mounts the impressive 240/45 Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tire and is left visible, accentuated by the aluminum single-sided swingarm, another technical and style element that is profoundly linked to Ducati artistic canons.
The heart of performance, but also a key design element, the XDiavel V4 Granturismo is the only Ducati engine to flaunt a glossy surface finish. Its presence is highlighted by the cover with “V4” logo on the rear cylinders, which emphasise the technical uniqueness of XDiavel in the segment, while the cast aluminum subframe has a complex structure that accentuates the sense of movement side-on.
XDiavel benefits from the balance of the V4 Granturismo for the first time. Smooth at low revs, it is ideal for urban riding but boasts incredible power on the open road. With a twist of the throttle, the V4 engine delivers similar torque to its twin predecessor, but greater power. There is nothing like it on the road for riders who seek comfort, exciting performance and Ducati style.
The reduced weight of this engine significantly contributes to the bike’s 6 kg weight saving with respect to the previous model.
A great deal of work has gone into the engine sound. The Twin Pulse firing order of the V4 Granturismo, together with the dedicated exhaust system with its classic Ducati timbre, results in a variation in exhaust tone when switching from one mode to the other. A deeper sound, with lower frequencies, when only the two front cylinders are activated, or higher frequences when all four cylinders are in operation.
The V4 Granturismo is equipped with a counter-rotating crankshaft, technology derived from Ducati experience in MotoGP. This innovation “counters” the gyroscopic inertia of the wheels, improving handling and riding precision.
The V4 Granturismo guarantees smooth delivery at low rpm and exciting torque at the top end. The exhilarating performance of the V4 Granturismo engine equates to 168 hp (123.6 kW) at 10,750 rpm and 92.9 lb-ft (12.8 kgm) at 7500 rpm, with a particularly linear torque curve.
Perfect for riding in the city, and with incredible power on the open road. With a twist of the throttle, the V4 engine delivers similar torque to its V-twin predecessor, but greater power. There is nothing similar on the road for riders who seek something comfortable, with exciting performance and Ducati style.
XDiavel V4 is the first bike equipped with the V4 Granturismo engine to come complete with DQS (Ducati Quick Shift) 2.0 derived from the Panigale V4. The system, which allows the rider to shift up and down without using the clutch, evolves with respect to the previous version thanks to significant mechanical updates to the control pedal, which sees the traditional lever with Hall-effect microswitch swapped for a direct mechanical lever. This makes for a more aesthetically pleasing left-hand footpeg area, in line with Sport Cruiser canons.
This feature deactivates the engine’s rear cylinders, acting both when stationary with engine on, at traffic lights for example, and when travelling at low speed in particular conditions, to reduce consumption. As the speed increases, or as soon as the throttle demands a certain level of torque, the rear cylinders reactivate, ensuring all the character and performance of the V4 Granturismo.
The V4 Granturismo also has a positive impact on maintenance costs, which are reduced thanks to extremely long service intervals. An oil change is required every 9,000 miles or two years, while the valve clearance check is every 36,000 miles.
With forward footpegs and a wide handlebar, the characteristic ergonomic triangle has been improved on this latest generation XDiavel.
XDiavel V4 is even more enjoyable to ride thanks to a handlebar that is lower and positioned further back, and a rear wheel that offers 25 mm more travel with respect to the first generation.
The result is a bike that is surprisingly easy to handle and agile in all riding conditions, despite the dimensions of the rear wheel.
Weighing in at 505 lb, XDiavel V4 sets the benchmark in its segment. It is 13.2 lb lighter than the XDiavel 1260 thanks to components such as the lightweight aluminium monocoque frame and V4 Granturismo engine. This ensures greater agility, particularly during low-speed manoeuvres.
30.3 in from the ground, the spoon-shaped seat typical of a cruiser is made more comfortable with an extra 2.1 in of foam with respect to XDiavel 1260.
Accessories include the Comfort seat complete with thicker foam (+15 mm) and a redesigned rear section. As well as being roomier to accommodate different builds, the Comfort seat is also enhanced with premium upholstery. The passenger seat is removable and can be replaced with a tail section for those who prefer the single-seat aesthetic.
Passenger comfort is boosted with a seat that is 30% wider, 50% roomier lengthways, and with foam that is 25 mm thicker at the sides. The rear hand grip, provided with the bike, can be easily mounted on the tail section for a more secure handhold.
The fully adjustable suspension on the XDiavel V4 consists of a 1.9 in USD fork (with adjustment of the compression and preload on the left stanchion and rebound on the right stanchion) and a shock with separate reservoir. Wheel travel is 4.7 in at the front and 145 mm at the rear, 0.9 in more than the XDiavel 1260 for increased rider and passenger comfort.
At the front, the braking performance of the XDiavel V4 is guaranteed by Brembo brakes with Stylema® radial monobloc callipers activated by a PR16/19 radial master cylinder with integrated aluminium reservoir that acts on two 12.9in floating discs. At the rear, the 10.4 in disc is served by a two-piston caliper, also by Brembo.
XDiavel V4 mounts five-spoke rims that flaunt an exaggerated design with machined surfaces. The front rim is 3.5” x 17’’, while the rear flaunts an eye-catching 8.0” x 17’’ rim with concave edges. Showcased by the single-sided swingarm, the size of the rear wheel is impressive and mounts a 240/45 ZR17 Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tire.
XDiavel V4 uses the same 6.9” color full-TFT instrument with 8:3 aspect ratio and glued glass with optical bonding technology as the new Panigale V4, improving visibility in all lighting conditions. With XDiavel, the dashboard offers a dedicated version of Road Info Mode, specifically redesigned to suit the cruiser world, more sophisticated and less sports oriented.
XDiavel V4 is equipped with the Hands-Free system for key-free ignition. Just move close to the bike with the electronic key in your pocket. At a distance of about 1.5 m, the bike will recognize the key code to allow ignition. At this point simply press the key-on button to turn on the display and start the engine. The system also involves an electronic actuator for the steering lock.
Cruise Control makes for more relaxing motorway trips. Activation is visible on the dashboard and the system can also be deactivated by twisting the throttle grip forwards.
XDiavel V4 offers three Power Modes and four Riding Modes: Sport, Touring, Urban and Wet, thanks to which the rider can adapt engine delivery and riding assistance systems intervention.
Sport Riding Mode
Sport Riding Mode is the most high-performance. In this Riding Mode, the XDiavel V4 unleashes its full 168 hp with a direct, spirited response. Ducati Traction Control and Ducati Wheelie Control invention is reduced to a minimum, and the ABS, set to level 2, allows for controlled lifting of the rear wheel in order to maximize braking performance while retaining the Cornering function. The ideal choice for expert riders who want to really enjoy the performance of the XDiavel V4.
Touring Riding Mode
In Touring Riding Mode, the XDiavel V4 still unleashes its full 168 hp, but delivery is smoother and more progressive. Higher DTC and DWC intervention levels make for greater controllability of the vehicle. The ABS is set to level 3, the safest and most prudential, thanks to rear-wheel lift detection, optimization of the combined braking, and the active Cornering function.
Urban Riding Mode
In Urban Riding Mode power output is reduced to a maximum of 115 hp (Low Power Mode) with a particularly gentle and progressive response to effectively manage continual changes in surface. DTC and DWC are set to high levels, while ABS is set to level 3.
Wet Riding Mode
Wet Riding Mode is designed for riding on low-grip surfaces or in wet conditions. This mode limits maximum power to 115 hp with a particularly gentle throttle response (Low Power Mode). The predefined level of the electronic controls is set to offer maximum safety, ensuring the best possible traction and stability.
Each Riding Mode is associated with one of three Power Modes: High, Medium, Low.
The High and Medium Power Modes both allow the V4 Granturismo engine to unleash its full power, or rather 168 hp at 10,750 rpm, with maximum torque of 126 Nm at 7500 rpm, but with different calibration of the Ride by Wire maps. High Power Mode, associated in terms of its predefined values with the Sport Riding Mode, is designed for sports riding and offers a direct and spirited throttle response. Medium Power Mode, attributed by default to the Touring Riding Mode, is characterised by a smoother and more progressive engine response to the rider’s demand for torque.
Low Power Mode, associated by default with the Urban and Wet Riding Modes, is designed for riding on low grip surfaces, limiting the bike’s maximum power to 115 hp at 8750 rpm and maximum torque to 84 lb-ft at 5750 rpm, and offering a particularly manageable throttle response. Dedicated XDiavel V4 calibration ensures maximum correlation between the level of torque required by the rider and the level effectively delivered.
The Ducati Multimedia System is standard equipment on the XDiavel V4 and allows the rider to connect their smartphone via Bluetooth for calls, SMS, and music or use the Turn-by-Turn navigation system (available as an accessory) via Ducati Link App.
