The new engine gets Desmodromic Valve Timing, which is essentially variable valve timing which offers a wide range of torque across the rev range, offering pulling power at varying engine revs. The Ducati Diavel 1260 will be available in two variants - a standard variant and the top-spec Diavel 1260 S, which will have LED daytime running light, LED turn indicators, Ohlins suspension and top-spec Brembo M50 monobloc brake calipers.

The electronics suite has three basic riding modes - Urban mode with power limited to 100 bhp and a smooth throttle response, Touring mode with full power, and a smooth throttle response, and Sport, with full power and aggressive throttle response. There's also a new anti-lock braking system (ABS) from Bosch with cornering ABS powered by the 6-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU), which also aids the cornering traction control system, wheelie control system and self-cancelling turn indicators. There are also the 'standard' features like keyless ignition, cruise control, backlit switches, along with launch control, as well as a rearl-wheel lift mitigation system.
The S variant also gets a standard up/down quickshifter, LED daytime running lights and a Bluetooth Ducati multimedia system which can be synced with a smartphone, and the Ducati Link App. Ducati says the new Diavel 1260 promises the personality of three different bikes in one - a superbike, a cruiser and a naked roadster. We have already had a taste of what the Diavel 1260 offers during the world media ride in Spain earlier this year, and we have to say it's a one-of-a-kind motorcycle with no real competition so far. Expect Ducati India to price the new Diavel 1260 to be priced between Rs. 17 lakh (ex-showroom) for the standard variant and upwards of Rs. 20 lakh (ex-showroom) for the S variant.
