The Diavel lineup is getting a serious upgrade in India. Ducati has officially opened bookings for the XDiavel V4, signaling the arrival of this powerful cruiser in the Indian market. While the launch event is yet to happen, Ducati is already generating buzz with its teaser and the announcement that enthusiasts can now reserve the new machine.
Globally unveiled earlier this year, the XDiavel V4 blends the brand’s signature muscle-cruiser DNA with new styling, updated ergonomics, and a mighty V4 engine. Here’s everything you need to know.
Design
At first glance, the Ducati XDiavel V4 carries the familiar low-slung silhouette of the Diavel family — but there’s a fresh twist. The brand has reworked the styling to create a more relaxed and versatile riding posture.
The biggest change lies in the rider triangle, which has been updated with forward-set footpegs and a swept-back handlebar. This setup is ideal for longer rides, offering a cruiser-style seating position.
Ducati also allows customization with mid-mounted footpeg options, giving riders more flexibility in their ergonomics. The seat height is 770 mm, and Ducati has added extra cushioning for the pillion along with a wider and longer seat. To further enhance pillion comfort, there’s an optional grab handle that attaches to the rear section.
The alloy wheels are newly designed, and even with its beefy stance, the XDiavel V4 is 6 kg lighter than the standard Diavel, tipping the scales at 229 kg dry.
Features
The XDiavel V4 isn’t just about looks — it’s loaded with premium tech. Taking center stage is a 6.9-inch full-color TFT display, which acts as the bike’s command center. Riders can choose from four distinct ride modes:
- Sport
- Touring
- Urban
- Wet
To keep things modern, Ducati has included a suite of smart connectivity features. The display supports turn-by-turn navigation, call and message alerts, and even music controls, letting you stay connected without pulling over.
This tech-focused cruiser strikes a balance between performance, comfort, and convenience — making it ideal for long hauls and weekend getaways alike.
Engine
The heart of the beast is Ducati’s 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine, the same powerplant that has wowed riders in other models. On the XDiavel V4, it produces:
- 168 hp @ 10,750 rpm
- 126 Nm of torque @ 7,500 rpm
It’s mated to a 6-speed gearbox and features a bidirectional quick-shifter, making gear changes smooth and precise whether you’re upshifting or downshifting. The V4 engine is also known for its refined power delivery and smooth performance across a wide rev range, making it as enjoyable in city traffic as it is on open highways.
Hardware
Ducati hasn’t cut corners on the mechanical components either. The braking system is built for performance, featuring:
- Dual 330 mm front discs
- Single 265 mm rear disc
All of this is mounted on 17-inch alloy wheels, ensuring maximum stability and grip. The suspension setup is fully adjustable, with inverted telescopic forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear, designed to offer both comfort and agile handling — whether you’re cruising straight highways or leaning into sharp corners.
Bookings
While Ducati hasn’t yet announced the official launch date or price, bookings are now open across Ducati dealerships in India. Given the Diavel’s cult following and the V4 upgrade, expect this model to attract a lot of attention — both from existing Ducati fans and premium cruiser enthusiasts.
If you’ve been waiting for a high-performance, tech-laden muscle cruiser with Italian flair, the XDiavel V4 might just be worth the wait.
