Savage attractive color for Ducati Diavel

December 29, 2024

Since its arrival in 2011, the Ducati Diavel has attracted attention with its design. It is muscular, sporty, exaggerated and elegant at the same time. Numerous awards have resulted from this, including most recently the “Best of the best” Red Dot Award. In a new color scheme for 2025 Black Roadster Livery, the devilish character of this muscle bike comes into even sharper focus.

History of Ducati

With the Black Roadster Livery, the graphics are based on colors associated with Ducati history. The Racing Yellow color on the tank and in the stripes on the rear and side panels accentuates a color palette of black and titanium tones. The new seat cover gives the Diavel even more character.

Muscle cars

The look of this Ducati is inspired by muscle cars. The design should remind you of the image of an athlete ready to shoot from the starting blocks. With a front-facing mass and a sleek, agile rear. An eye-catcher is the taillight thanks to a matrix of dot-shaped LEDs placed under the rear.

Powerful V4 with roots in MotoGP

The Diavel features a 1,158cc metering V4, which is central to the design and is derived from the Desmosedici engine used by Ducati in MotoGP. The block is powerful (168 hp), rich in torque but also extremely light and compact. Partly because of this, the Diavel’s weight is only 223 kg.

Twin Pulse sound

The Twin Pulse ignition sequence, combined with the exhaust system specifically designed for this model with a quadruple exhaust, defines the unmistakable sound of the engine. Another distinguishing feature of the Diavel V4 is the huge 240/45 rear tire. The five-spoke alloy wheels with a profile embellished with machined surfaces are among the most refined elements of its appearance.

Prize Parade

The Diavel V4 has won several prestigious awards. These include the Good Design® Award, presented by the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design. It also received a special mention in the Excellent Product Design category at the German Design Awards 2024 and the title “Best of the best” at the prestigious Red Dot Award 2024.
