Overview

Introducing the 2014 Ducati Diavel Strada, a striking fusion of sport and touring that embodies the essence of Italian engineering and design. Positioned in the sport touring category, the Diavel Strada is not merely a motorcycle; it’s an invitation to explore the open road with the heart of a sports bike and the comfort needed for long-distance journeys. With its muscular stance and iconic Ducati styling, the Diavel Strada attracts attention while delivering a premium riding experience tailored for enthusiasts who crave performance without sacrificing comfort. At the core of the Diavel Strada is its formidable 1198.4cc V2, four-stroke engine, which churns out an exhilarating 159.58 horsepower at 9,500 RPM and a robust torque of 127.50 Nm at 8,000 RPM. This impressive power output, combined with a lightweight design that tips the scales at 216 kg (476 lbs) dry, offers an enthralling power-to-weight ratio of 0.7388 HP/kg, ensuring that riders can enjoy thrilling acceleration and nimble handling. The six-speed gearbox, paired with a light-action, wet, multiplate hydraulic clutch, delivers seamless shifts, while the advanced fuel injection system ensures optimal performance across various riding conditions. Whether you’re carving through twisty backroads or cruising on the highway, the Diavel Strada’s responsive throttle and agile handling make every ride a memorable adventure. Ducati has integrated a wealth of features and cutting-edge technology into the Diavel Strada, enhancing both safety and comfort. The tubular steel Trellis frame provides excellent rigidity and stability, while the fully adjustable Marzocchi front forks and Sachs rear monoshock suspension offer a customizable ride to suit individual preferences. Safety is paramount, with advanced ABS braking systems on both the front and rear, ensuring precise stopping power when it’s needed most. The 17-liter fuel tank allows for extended rides, complemented by a comfortable seat height of 770 mm, enabling riders of various statures to enjoy a confident and relaxed position. Additional features, such as the windscreen and stylish Race Titanium coloring, add to both aesthetics and functionality, making the Diavel Strada a motorcycle that not only performs but also turns heads. **
