New Ducati Diavel V4

Engine & Radical Performance Unlike the standard Diavel, which uses the touring-focused Granturismo engine, the RS borrows the high-revving heartbeat of the Panigale V4: • Engine: 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale V4 with a counter-rotating crankshaft. • Power Output: 182 hp @ 11,750 rpm and 120 Nm of torque @ 9,500 rpm. • Clutch: Track-ready STM-EVO SBK dry slipper clutch machined from billet aluminium, providing that classic Ducati mechanical clatter. • Exhaust: Unique Euro 5+ four-exit exhaust capped with titanium tips. • Service Intervals: Desmo valve checks are required every 18,000 miles (30,000 km) (down from 37,000 miles on the standard V4). ? Chassis, Weight & Handling The RS sheds weight and sharpens its handling with premium, track-spec hardware: • Weight: 220 kg wet weight (measured without fuel). Extensive use of carbon fibre (mudguards, air intakes, tank covers) saves 3 kg over the base model. • Suspension: Fully adjustable Öhlins 48mm NIX30 front forks and an Öhlins STX46 rear shock. • Wheels & Tyres: Specially designed forged aluminium wheels wrapped in a massive 240/45-17 Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV rear tyre. • Brakes: Superbike-derived Brembo Stylema 4-piston calipers chomping down on dual 330mm front discs. ?? Advanced Rider Electronics The massive power is harnessed via a comprehensive electronics suite managed on a 5-inch TFT display with RS-specific graphics: • Riding Modes: Includes Sport, Touring, Wet, and a dedicated Race mode (a first for the Diavel line). • Launch Control: A 3-level Ducati Power Launch (DPL) system engineered to maximize off-the-line acceleration without looping the bike. • Rider Aids: 6-axis IMU-governed Cornering ABS, Ducati Traction Control (DTC), Wheelie Control (DWC), and the DQS 2.0 up/down quickshifter.
