BS6 Ducati Diavel 1260 Teased; Launch Soon

Ducati India has teased the BS6 Ducati Diavel 1260 on its social media handles. The company said it will launch the motorcycle soon. The Diavel 1260 was first launched in India in 2019 but the model is being updated to meet BS6 emission norms now. Apart from a BS6 compliant engine, the power cruiser motorcycle is likely to get few other updates as well. From what we understand, Ducati will launch the standard and the 'S' variants of the Diavel 1260 in India.

The BS6 Diavel 1260 gets the same 1,262 cc L-Twin Testastretta DVT engine which makes 160 bhp at 9,500 rpm and 129 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm. The engine continues to have a flat torque curve, making for energetic response when given the beans. Rider electronics include a Bosch 6-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) along with cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control, power launch and cruise control. Other standard features include keyless ignition, backlit switches and a rear-wheel lift mitigation system as well. The top-spec Diavel 1260 S variant gets LED daytime running light, LED turn indicators, Ohlins suspension and top-spec Brembo M50 monobloc brake calipers and a bi-directional quick-shifter. At 247 kg, the S is also a couple of kg lighter than the standard model.
