The XDiavel V4 stays true to Ducati’s vision of blending cruiser comfort with sportsbike performance, while dialling everything up a notch.

Performance That Packs a Punch
At the heart of the new XDiavel V4 is Ducati’s 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine featuring a counter-rotating crankshaft. It punches out a hefty 168 horsepower and 12.8 kgm of torque, offering strong linear power delivery across the rev range. Pair that with a 240/45 rear tyre, and the result is stunning acceleration—0 to 100km/h in under three seconds. Whether cruising the highways or blasting away from the lights, the XDiavel V4 delivers a proper adrenaline rush.

Despite its cruiser DNA, this Ducati is no slouch in the corners. Weighing in at 229kg wet, the XDiavel V4 benefits from a monocoque aluminium frame, fully adjustable suspension, and top-shelf Brembo Stylema® brakes on 330mm rotors. It’s a setup that provides an unexpected level of agility for a cruiser, making it just as capable in the twisties as it is on the straight stretches.

The rear suspension now offers 25mm more travel than the previous XDiavel 1260, while the redesigned seat is wider.

Enhanced Comfort for Long Hauls
Ducati has stepped up the comfort game on the XDiavel V4, making it a genuine long-distance contender. The rear suspension now offers 25mm more travel than the previous XDiavel 1260, while the redesigned seat is wider, thicker, and more contoured. Passengers also get a better deal, with a seat that’s wider, longer, and 25mm thicker, plus a standard grab handle is there for extra security.

State-of-the-Art Tech
The XDiavel V4 is packed with Ducati’s latest electronics suite, ensuring both safety and performance. Riders get access to cornering ABS, Ducati Traction Control (DTC), Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC), Launch Control, and Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) 2.0. The tech package is easily managed through the backlit handlebar controls and a new 6.9-inch TFT colour dashboard with an 8:3 aspect ratio. There’s also built-in Bluetooth connectivity for calls, messages, and music, plus optional Turn-by-Turn navigation via the Ducati Link App.

Bold New Styling
Ducati’s design team has given the XDiavel V4 a fresh look, available in two striking colour schemes—Burning Red and Black Lava. For the first time, the XDiavel is being offered in red, but not just any red. This is a deeper, more intense shade that sets it apart from Ducati’s traditional racing hues. Black Lava, on the other hand, enhances the classic black cruiser aesthetic with warm undertones, reflecting the XDiavel V4’s unique character. Both colours reinforce the bike’s fiery, powerful personality.



Ducati offers a comprehensive range of accessories to personalise the XDiavel V4. Riders can opt for a repositioned footpeg kit, higher or lower seats, or even semi-rigid 48-litre panniers with colour-matched covers and integrated grab handles. Performance upgrades include an optional homologated exhaust system with titanium end caps and a single-seat tail section for a more aggressive look. There’s a selection of billet alloy, carbon-fibre, forged alloy parts, plus brake calipers in either red or black.
