Ducati XDiavel V4 Teased For India With Relaxed Ergonomics & V4 Power

Ducati has officially teased the XDiavel V4 for the Indian market, signalling the arrival of its most relaxed and cruiser-oriented V4 motorcycle yet. Unveiled globally earlier this year, the XDiavel V4 sits alongside the Diavel V4 but caters to riders seeking a more comfortable riding posture without sacrificing performance. While the powertrain remains unchanged, Ducati has reworked the ergonomics, styling and rider interface to give the XDiavel a distinct identity. With bookings already open, anticipation is building ahead of its India launch.

A More Relaxed Take On The Diavel Formula

The XDiavel V4 is Ducati’s interpretation of a performance cruiser, and the difference is immediately evident in its ergonomics. Compared to the Diavel V4, the XDiavel features a more laid-back rider’s triangle, achieved through forward-set footpegs and a wider, swept-back handlebar. This setup is aimed at delivering long-distance comfort while maintaining the muscular stance the Diavel family is known for.

Ducati has also focused on pillion comfort, making the rear seat wider and more accommodating than before. The seat height stands at 770mm, which is 20mm lower than the Diavel V4, making the motorcycle more approachable for a wider range of riders.

Same V4 Engine, Familiar Hardware

Mechanically, the XDiavel V4 remains identical to the Diavel V4. It is powered by Ducati’s 1,158cc V4 engine that produces 168hp and 126Nm of torque. This ensures that despite its cruiser positioning, the XDiavel delivers the same explosive performance as its sibling.

Unlike the older XDiavel 1260, which used a belt drive, the new XDiavel V4 switches to a chain drive, aligning it with the Diavel V4. The braking and suspension hardware are also shared, reinforcing the motorcycle’s performance-focused underpinnings.

Weight, Dimensions And Design Differences

The global-spec XDiavel V4 tips the scales at 226kg without fuel, making it around 6kg heavier than the Diavel V4. While the added weight comes from design and ergonomic changes, Ducati has worked on refining the motorcycle’s silhouette.

The alloy wheels feature a different design, and the overall bodywork flows more smoothly compared to the sharper lines and creases of the Diavel V4. This gives the XDiavel a more elegant and cohesive cruiser profile while retaining its aggressive presence.

Big TFT Display And Electronics Suite

One of the standout features on the XDiavel V4 is its 6.9-inch TFT display, which is shared with the latest Panigale V4 and Streetfighter V4. This larger screen enhances readability and elevates the overall cockpit experience.

The electronics package mirrors that of the Diavel V4, offering advanced rider aids and multiple riding modes. The familiar interface ensures ease of use while delivering a premium, high-tech feel expected from Ducati’s flagship models.

India Launch Expectations And Pricing

Ducati has confirmed that bookings for the XDiavel V4 have already commenced in India. Given its positioning as a more premium and lifestyle-oriented offering, the XDiavel V4 is expected to be priced above the Diavel V4, which currently retails at Rs 29.08 lakh.

With its blend of cruiser comfort, superbike-derived performance and modern electronics, the XDiavel V4 is set to appeal to riders looking for a distinctive alternative in the high-performance cruiser segment.
