Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2013 Ducati Diavel Carbon, a stunning blend of power, sophistication, and cutting-edge technology that redefines the naked bike category. This motorcycle is not just a ride; it’s a statement, a bold declaration of style and performance that stands out on both city streets and open highways. With its unique design featuring a muscular stance and the unmistakable Ducati Trellis frame, the Diavel Carbon is engineered to deliver a visceral experience while attracting envious glances from fellow riders and onlookers alike. At the heart of the Diavel Carbon lies a formidable 1198.4 cc V2, four-stroke engine that churns out an exhilarating 159.58 horsepower and a robust torque of 127.50 Nm. This potent combination ensures a thrilling ride, especially when the throttle is twisted to unleash the full 116.5 kW at 9500 RPM. The engine's smooth power delivery is complemented by a 6-speed gearbox that offers precise shifts and a light-action, wet, multiplate clutch for effortless control. Riders will appreciate the Diavel's impressive power-to-weight ratio of 0.7784 HP/kg, which translates into a dynamic performance, blending agility and stability in a package that weighs just 205 kg (451.9 lbs). Ducati has equipped the Diavel Carbon with an array of features that enhance both comfort and control. The fully adjustable Marzocchi 50mm USD forks and a Sachs monoshock suspension provide excellent handling and ride quality, whether you're carving through twisty roads or cruising on the highway. The braking system, featuring radially mounted four-piston calipers on the front and two-piston calipers on the rear, comes with ABS for added safety, ensuring that you can stop confidently at a moment's notice. The Diavel Carbon's striking color options, including the signature red and black carbon finish, showcase its premium aesthetics, while the electric starter and remote spring preload adjustment add convenience for the modern rider. **
