Ducati notes that consumers will obtain the bike in a personalised wooden case together with a certificates of authenticity, a motorbike cowl, and a passenger seat. The 2 corporations additionally collaborated on a spread of equipment that features a helmet and a limited-edition jacket.
Becoming the Diavel with Bentley’s 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine seemingly wasn’t an choice, so energy comes from a inventory, 1.2-liter V4 rated at 168 horsepower and 93 pound-feet of torque. If neither determine sounds spectacular, be mindful the usual Diavel weighs 520 kilos. Put one other means, its power-to-weight ratio approaches that of a Bugatti Chiron.
