Ducati Diavel V4 — Overview

The Ducati Diavel V4 is a cruiser bike available at a starting price of Rs. 29,07,600 in India. It comes in 1 variant and 2 colours. It is powered by a 1158 cc BS6 Phase 2 engine and has a ARAI mileage of 15.6 kmpl. With both front and rear disc brakes, the Ducati Diavel V4 comes with anti-locking braking system. The Diavel V4 bike weighs 236 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 20 liters. It develops a power output of 166.28 bhp and a torque of 126 Nm.

A 1158cc V4 engine in a cruiser that does 0-100 in 2.5 seconds - the Ducati Diavel V4 is not trying to be sensible, and it succeeds spectacularly. Priced from Rs 29,07,600 (ex-showroom), it's the most performance-focused power cruiser on sale in India. The Granturismo V4 - the same engine that powers the Multistrada V4 - produces 170 PS and 126 Nm, wrapped in bodywork that looks like a superbike stretched low and wide. Two colour options, cornering ABS, six riding modes, Brembo monoblock brakes, and a bi-directional quickshifter all come standard. On an open highway, nothing else in this segment comes close. In Mumbai traffic, the engine heat and 236 kg kerb weight will remind you daily that this is not a commuter. It is a statement - a very expensive, very Italian one.

Ducati Diavel V4 Latest Updates

View all

  • Ducati India is set to increase prices across its entire lineup by up to 5% from June 1, 2026. For the Diavel V4, currently priced from Rs 29,07,600 (ex-showroom), this translates to a potential increase of up to Rs 1.45 lakh on the base variant.

  • Ducati has confirmed the limited-edition Diavel V4 RS will come to India in 2026, with an expected ex-showroom price upwards of Rs 40 lakh. The V4 RS is a performance-focused variant of the Diavel V4 featuring the more powerful 1103cc Desmosedici Stradale engine from the Panigale V4.

  • Ducati globally unveiled the Diavel V4 RS with a 1103cc Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine producing 182 hp at 11,750 rpm - 14 hp more than the standard Diavel V4. Key upgrades include Ohlins suspension, Brembo Stylema calipers, carbon-fibre components, and a 220 kg kerb weight (16 kg lighter). US dealerships began receiving units in March 2026 at $39,995.

What We Like

  • Ballistic V4 performance with explosive acceleration from the 1158cc engine
  • Top-spec electronics package: cornering ABS, six ride modes, traction control, launch control
  • Surprisingly composed handling for a motorcycle of its size and weight
  • More comfortable upright riding position than the previous Diavel generation

What Could Be Better

  • Engine heats up significantly in stop-and-go city traffic
  • Very high purchase price and expensive service and maintenance costs
  • Heavy at 236 kg - challenging to manoeuvre at low speeds and in parking

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Ducati Diavel V4?

The Ducati Diavel V4 is the best power cruiser you can buy in India if performance and electronics matter more than running costs. It is unmatched in its segment for outright speed and technology, but the Rs 29+ lakh price tag, significant city heat, and Ducati's expensive service network make it a bike you buy with your heart, not your spreadsheet. If the highway is your domain and your garage can take the attention, this is worth every rupee.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is the ex-showroom price of Ducati Diavel V4 in India?▾
The Ducati Diavel V4 is priced from Rs 29,07,600 (Ducati Red) to Rs 29,38,600 (Thrilling Black) ex-showroom across India. In Delhi, the on-road price starts at Rs 32,58,395; in Mumbai it is approximately Rs 33,19,981.
QWhat is the ARAI mileage of the Ducati Diavel V4?▾
The Ducati Diavel V4 has an ARAI-claimed mileage of 18.2 kmpl. In real-world Indian conditions - highway cruising in Touring mode - most riders report 14-17 kmpl; in city traffic with hard acceleration, this drops to 10-13 kmpl.
QDoes the Ducati Diavel V4 overheat in Indian city traffic?▾
The Diavel V4 does generate significant heat in stop-and-go traffic, a common concern among Indian owners. Ducati partially addresses this with a cylinder deactivation system that cuts the rear bank at idle, though prolonged Mumbai or Delhi traffic will still make the heat noticeable.
QWhat is the estimated monthly EMI for the Ducati Diavel V4?▾
For the base Diavel V4 Ducati Red at Rs 29,07,600 (ex-showroom), EMI works out to approximately Rs 87,000 per month on a 36-month loan at 10% interest with a 10-20% down payment. Actual EMI depends on lender, credit profile, and tenure.
QWhat is the service interval and cost for the Ducati Diavel V4?▾
The Ducati Diavel V4 requires a service every 15,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. Annual service costs at an authorised Ducati centre typically range from Rs 20,000 to Rs 30,000 including parts and labour - significantly higher than Japanese superbikes.
QHow does the Ducati Diavel V4 compare to the Triumph Rocket 3?▾
The Diavel V4 (Rs 29.07 lakh, 170 PS, 126 Nm, 236 kg) is more expensive but lighter and more electronically equipped than the Triumph Rocket 3 (Rs 22.49 lakh, 165 bhp, 221 Nm, 304 kg). The Rocket 3 offers far more torque for lazy cruising; the Diavel V4 rewards a rider who uses the full rev range.
QWhat electronics does the Ducati Diavel V4 come with?▾
The Diavel V4 comes with six riding modes (Sport, Touring, Urban, Wet, plus two custom), Ducati Traction Control EVO 2, Cornering ABS EVO, Wheelie Control EVO, Engine Brake Control, Launch Control, Slide Control, and a pit lane speed limiter - all managed via a 5-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity.
QIs the Ducati Diavel V4 worth buying in India?▾
The Diavel V4 is worth it if the highway is your primary domain and you can absorb Rs 29+ lakh ex-showroom plus premium Ducati running costs. It is unmatched in its segment for V4 performance and electronics, but impractical for daily city use due to weight, heat, and servicing complexity.
