Ducati XDiavel — Overview

The Ducati XDiavel is a discontinued 1262cc power cruiser that blended cruiser comfort with sportbike firepower, last priced at ₹21.20-24.49 Lakh in India with a low 755mm seat height.

The Ducati XDiavel pulled off something nobody thought possible - it made a cruiser that Ducati riders actually wanted to ride hard. Built around a 1262cc Desmodronic L-twin churning out 160 PS and 127 Nm, the XDiavel wore a drag-bike stance with its wide rear 240-section tyre and feet-forward footpegs, yet handled like a proper Ducati thanks to fully adjustable 50mm USD forks and a chassis that mocked its own category. Offered in two variants - XDiavel Dark (₹21.20 Lakh) and XDiavel Black Star (₹24.49 Lakh) - before being discontinued in April 2024, it remains one of the most polarising and desirable big bikes ever sold in India. If you're shopping the used market or just need the full spec breakdown, this is your guide.

  • The Ducati XDiavel (1262cc L-twin) was officially discontinued in India in April 2024, with last recorded ex-showroom prices of ₹21,20,000 (XDiavel Dark) and ₹24,49,000 (XDiavel Black Star). Ducati confirmed that authorised service centres will continue to support existing owners with parts and service beyond the discontinuation date.

What We Like

  • Unique design that fuses cruiser stance with genuine sportbike handling - no other bike does this
  • 1262cc Desmodronic L-twin delivers strong, broad torque that's effortless in city traffic and thrilling on open roads
  • Widely praised as the best-handling cruiser in the world - flicks through corners with surprising ease
  • Low 755mm seat height is accessible for shorter riders in a segment that usually demands 800mm+

What Could Be Better

  • Very expensive at ₹21+ Lakh ex-showroom with steep Ducati service costs and long service intervals
  • Feet-forward riding position with stretched arms feels unnatural and tiring on long highway stints
  • Heavy 247 kg wet weight demands both feet on the ground at low speeds - not ideal for tight city parking

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Ducati XDiavel?

The Ducati XDiavel is the one cruiser that doesn't ask you to compromise on fun. The 1262cc L-twin is a gem, the handling is genuinely impressive, and the 755mm seat height makes it approachable. The catch: it's expensive to buy and service, the riding posture divides opinion, and Ducati discontinued it in India in April 2024. For pre-owned buyers willing to budget for Ducati running costs, it's a genuinely special machine. Everyone else should look at the XDiavel V4.
