Overview

Introducing the 2017 Ducati XDiavel S, a stunning embodiment of Italian engineering that redefines the naked bike category. This motorcycle is not just a mode of transportation; it's an experience crafted for those who crave both performance and style. With its muscular stance, sleek lines, and aggressive design, the XDiavel S stands out in the crowded motorcycle market, appealing to enthusiasts who appreciate both aesthetics and cutting-edge technology. Whether you’re carving through city streets or cruising along the open highway, this bike delivers a blend of power and sophistication that few can match. At the heart of the XDiavel S is its robust 1262cc V-twin engine, which delivers a thrilling 156 horsepower at 9,500 RPM and a torque-rich 128.9 Nm at 5,000 RPM. This powerhouse promises exhilarating acceleration and a dynamic riding experience, whether you’re revving through the gears or enjoying the smooth pull in the lower ranges. The bike's six-speed gearbox, paired with a slipper clutch, offers seamless shifts while maintaining control during aggressive downshifting. Coupled with a liquid-cooling system and a fuel-efficient Bosch ride-by-wire injection, the XDiavel S not only provides a potent performance but does so with a respectable fuel consumption of 5.30 liters per 100 km, ensuring you can enjoy the ride without constant stops at the pump. Ducati has packed the XDiavel S with state-of-the-art features designed to enhance both performance and comfort. The tubular steel trellis frame provides a sturdy foundation, while the adjustable USD front forks and rear monoshock with adjustable preload ensure that every ride is tailored to your preferences. The bike also comes equipped with advanced braking technology, including ABS and radially mounted calipers, giving you confidence in your stopping power. With a seat height of just 755 mm, the XDiavel S is accessible to a wide range of riders, while its striking Thrilling Black color option adds to its modern appeal. The motorcycle also boasts a generous fuel capacity of 17 liters, allowing for longer rides between fill-ups. **
