Since its inception in 2011, the Diavel has sparked enthusiasm and achieved great success thanks to its unique design which blends muscular, sporty, exaggerated and elegant features. Numerous awards from important design institutions have evidenced this.
With the 2025 model year, the Diavel V4 becomes even bolder with the new “Black Roadster Livery” revealed at Intermot 2024. Created by the Centro Stile Ducati, these fresh graphics draw on colors tied to the heritage of the Borgo Panigale manufacturer and the Diavel. The Racing Yellow, highlighted on the tank and in the stripes on the tail and side panels, “lights up” the color scheme that combines black and titanium tones, crafting a livery that puts the Diavel V4 even more in the spotlight. The new seat covering enhances the uncompromising design, giving the Diavel even more character.
Inspired by muscle cars, the Diavel V4 reinterprets the image of an athlete poised at the starting blocks, with mass concentrated at the front and an agile, slim tail. The signature front and rear light clusters and naturally full-LED direction indicators also define the unmistakable look of the Diavel V4. The rear light cluster, composed of a matrix of point-shaped LEDs positioned under the tail, presents a unique, spectacular solution that makes the bike immediately recognizable.
The Diavel V4 features a 1,158 cc V4 Granturismo engine, central to its design and a highly sophisticated technical solution derived from the Desmosedici used by Ducati in MotoGP. With a powerful output of 168 horsepower, rich torque and an extremely light and compact build, it operates fluidly and smoothly even at low revs. Thanks to timing control with spring return, it also offers benchmark maintenance intervals, with valve clearance checked every 36,000 miles.
The Twin Pulse firing order paired with the model-specific exhaust system, featuring a four-exit silencer, gives the exhaust its unmistakable timbre. Another distinctive feature of the Diavel V4 is its substantial 240/45 rear tire. The five-spoke alloy wheels, highlighted with machined surfaces, are among the most refined aspects of its appearance.
In just two years, the Diavel V4 has garnered the Good Design Award from the “Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design,” received a Special Mention in the Excellent Product Design category at the German Design Awards 2024 and was named “Best of the Best” in the prestigious Red Dot Award 2024. These accolades enhance the already established reputation of previous Diavel models, solidifying Ducati’s design as the most appreciated globally. The Diavel has also captivated fans of luxury four-wheel vehicles, evident in the numbered and limited series of Ducati Diavel for Bentley, a collector’s item born from the collaboration between Ducati and Bentley, presented with the seventh episode of the World Première 2024.
The new Diavel V4 in Black Roadster Livery is available on the new configurator, where enthusiasts can design the bike of their dreams with Ducati Performance accessories and view it in various settings.
