Ducati Panigale V4 vs Ducati XDiavel Comparison

The new Ducati Panigale V4 S has that innate quality that makes a 200-plus bhp superbike very accessible and safe around a racetrack. Sure, it's not made for less experienced riders new to litre-class superbikes, and despite the state-of-the-art electronics package, one wrong twist of the wrist can make things go wrong very quickly; after all, all that power and torque over a wide rev range is not to be fooled with, or taken lightly, by any standard.

The standard XDiavel costs ₹ 15.87 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). So, if you're looking for a cruiser with looks that stand out, and with edge-of-the-seat performance, the Ducati XDiavel could well be that bike for you. But the only way to really describe the experience of what the Ducati XDiavel is - you have to get astride and grab a handful of that throttle. Life could suddenly get very interesting indeed.
