2012 DUCATI DIAVEL, When you first come upon the Ducati Diavel, it’s more than just a little overwhelming. Is it a sport-bike? A cruiser? Is it a touring bike? Is it a naked bike? The answer is that it’s really none of the abovementioned, and at the same time, it’s a mixture of all these things and much more. Formally, Diavel translates as “Devil” in Bolognese, the Italian regional area from where the bike comes. Our well equipped Diavel draws its strength from an 1198.4cc Testrastretta 11 degree, L-Twin, 8-valve Desmodromic, liquid-cooled engine with Mitsubishi electronic fuel injection system, Mikuni elliptical throttle bodies with RbW (Ride by Wire) and lightweight Carbon SHIFT-TECH 2-1 exhaust system.The Testastretta produces 162 horsepower at 9,500 rpm along with 94 pound feet of torque at 8,000 rpm. Drive force reaches her rear wheel via a six-speed sequential manual transmission with straight cut gears, with a 1.84:1 ratio. The clutch is a light action, wet, Multiplate with hydraulic control, featuring servo action on drive and slipper action on over-run. Final drive is chain, with a 15-tooth front and 43 tooth rear sprocket. The bike’s 0-60 mph capability is 2.5 seconds, with a top speed of 155 mph limited by gearing. This Diavel sits on forged, lightweight, 14-spoke, black finished, machine-turned and milled Marchesini alloy wheels with Pirelli Diablo Rosso II -120/70 ZR 17 (3.50×17) front and 240/45 ZR17 (8.00×17) rear. Brake components consist of 2x320mm semi-floating discs, radially mounted monobloc Brembo calipers, 4-piston with ABS up front and 265mm disc, 2-piston floating caliper with ABS aft.Ducati’s racing derived Traction Control serves as a filter between the ride by wire throttle and the rear wheel, detecting and controlling wheel spin. The system incorporates eight sensitivity levels to match a rider’s ability and expertise. The Diavel has an electronic Riding Mode selector located as part of the left hand switchgear. There are three modes: Sport for the full 162 horsepower, ultimate performance level; Touring, which also delivers 162 hp, but with a smoother, more user-friendly power delivery; and finally, an Urban mode which reduces the horsepower output to 100, with a higher DTC intervention level 5 – better suited to stop/start traffic scenarios.This Diavel offering is a complete and final package, Custom rider pegs, Carbon accents, Rizoma, Lightech, Ducabike adorn this vehicle throughout.
