Geneva Motor Show: New Ducati Diavel Unveiled

The new Ducati Diavel has made its public debut at a special preview presentation in Geneva, during the Volkswagen Group Night. Claudio Domenicali (CEO of Ducati Motor Holding) unveiled this model, which will join the Ducati range during 2014.

The new Diavel is one of the three 'family extension' models that Ducati had promised to launch. The company promised to bring a completely new model- the Monster 1200 and three 'family-extension' models: the 899 Panigale, the exclusive 1199 "Superleggera" and now the new Diavel.

The updated Divael features the latest version of the Testastretta 11 degree DS engine, a new exhaust system and latest technological elements such as the new full-LED headlight. The new-generation Testastretta 11 degree Dual Spark engine combines with full LED illumination, ABS, Ducati Traction Control and Ducati Riding Modes to offer a much better ride experience, while delivering 12bhp.

The new Diavel comes in the new dark livery paint and has a black trellis frame and black wheels. The Carbon version of the updated Diavel comes with the choice of traditional red over matte carbon with red frame or the new star white over matte carbon with white frame, both with black, forged wheels by Marchesini. Both the models have been announced to be reaching Ducati stores from April 2014 onwards, globally.
