2023 Ducati Diavel V4 Rides with The Devil | V4 Granturismo Engine 1158 cc | Monocoque Frame

First introduced in 2011, the Diavel has been through two generations. Over that time, it has sold more than 45,000 units worldwide. Now, for 2023, Ducati has unleashed the third evolution of the Diavel, the Diavel V4, and it’s a beast. The biggest change in the Diavel V4 is the doubling of cylinders in the engine bay while losing a whopping 11 lbs. Since the V4 mill is the latest iteration of the Granturismo engine first seen in the Multistrada V4 S last year, the Diavel also exchanges its desmodromic valve closure for springs – and a 37,000-mile valve maintenance interval. Compared to the Testastretta 1262 DVT V2 engine, the Granturismo also delivers a 3.3-in. shorter length and a 3.7-in. height. The width of the engine is only slightly wider, with a 0.8-in. delta. The quartet of 83 mm x 53.5 mm cylinders yields a 1158cc displacement, but the claimed peak power delivery of 168 hp at 10,750 rpm is 11 hp more and 1,500 rpm higher than the previous generation Diavel’s claim. Claimed peak torque drops 2 lb-ft to 93 lb-ft at 7,500 rpm. Since the Granturismo has been updated from last year’s Multistrada V4 S, the cam shape and timing has been changed, along with the intake and exhaust systems plus the necessary EFI mapping required to achieve Euro 5 compliance. These changes were designed to broaden and flatten the torque curve. Additionally, the first gear was lowered for a more aggressive launch for a claimed 3-second 0-60 mph time. The other big electronic change that will affect every ride is the altering of the rules under which the up/down quick shifter allows shifts. Previously, downshifts were only allowed when the throttle was completely closed, but now, the system can account for having the throttle open. So, it allows downshifts when you are decelerating but have not completely closed the throttle. As with the Monster, Ducati has excised the trellis frame from the Diavel, replacing it with a lightweight aluminum monocoque frame bolted to the cylinder heads. Traditionalists may bemoan the change, but a 10.4-lb reduction in weight is nothing to sneeze at and contributes to the total weight loss of 29 lbs (without fuel vs the Diavel 1260 S). Ducati’s designers were even able to get the front/rear weight bias to 51.3%/48.7%, respectively. Fans of trellis frames can take comfort in the subframe retaining that construction. The suspension is what you’d expect on a performance bike weighing 523 lb (claimed). The front is a 50-mm, fully adjustable unit, while the rear is a cantilever-pattern shock outfit with all the clickers. Rear wheel travel was bumped by 0.6 to 5.7 in. while the front stays at 4.7 in. The 31.1-in seat height is 0.8 in. higher than last year (though low- and high-seat options are available), and the grips are 0.8 in. closer to the rider. With such an impressive engine in the chassis, you’d need some premium brakes to shed speed quickly, and Ducati didn’t disappoint. From the Brembo PR16/19 radial master cylinder to the radial, monobloc Stylemas, which all flow through updated cornering ABS algorithms, the hydraulic end of things is handled. The calipers mate to superbike-sized 330 mm floating discs to deliver eye-popping deceleration, which handily scrubbed from over 120 mph on one of the extended straights down for a second gear corner. The wheels are five-spoke alloy items with polished machined highlights that one would expect from a premium motorcycle. The front carries the traditional-sized 120/70 ZR 17 rubber in the form of a Pirelli Diablo Rosso III. The rear tire is the signature piece of the Diavel, one highlighted by the exposure afforded by a single-sided swingarm. The 240/45 ZR17 Pirelli Diablo Rosso III is simply massive and, even after 12 years of Diavel production, looks like it will make the bike handle like a pig, but by now, we know how wrong that is. Front and center in the rider’s view from the saddle is a new 5.5-in. TFT display. As we’ve come to expect from Ducati, the menu system is easy to drill down through with the handlebar switch gear, allowing easy changes of riding modes. Aside from all of the important info about the motorcycle’s status, the screen now has the capability to display turn-by-turn directions via an accessory package. Without that, the standard Bluetooth connection allows for display of phone and music information. Four ride modes, Sport, Touring, Urban, and Wet, control three power modes (High, Medium, and Low). The Diavel V4 will be available in Ducati Red or Thrilling Black paint jobs. Thrilling Black runs an additional $300. The MSRP of the 2023 Ducati Diavel V4 is $26,695. #motobike #motorcycle #motorcyclereview #motorsport #motorsports #ducati #ducatidiavel #ducativ4 #ducatipanigale #ducativ4s #italy #usa #england #india
