In India, the Ducati Diavel 1260 is a cruiser bike with a base price of Rs. 18,49,000. It comes in two variations and three colours, with the top variant starting at Rs. 21,49,000 for the top variant. The Ducati Diavel 1260 is powered by a 1262cc BS6 engine that produces 159.58 horsepower and 129 Nm of torque. The Ducati Diavel 1260 features anti-lock brakes on both the front and rear disc brakes. This Diavel 1260 motorcycle weights 249 kg and features a 17-liter fuel tank.
The Diavel 1260 is Ducati's second generation power cruiser, with a larger engine and a slew of other improvements over its predecessor. Its BS4 model was terminated last year, and the BS6 derivative, which has been slightly altered, is currently available in India.
The Diavel's ferocious-looking power cruiser design has been preserved. It is a true testament to Italian design prowess, with lots of visual appeal and attention to detail. It's available in normal and S varieties in international countries, and both have made their way to the United States. Aside from the mechanical differences, both trims have different frame colours; the normal model has a black chassis, while the S model has a snazzy red one.
The Testastretta's new 1262cc L-twin engine now produces 157.3bhp and 129Nm of peak torque. A complete electronics package includes a six-axis IMU with cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control, and cruise control to keep this power under check. It also has a 3.5-inch TFT display and full-LED lighting. The S version of the bike comes with more expensive Ohlins suspension and Brembo M50 monobloc callipers, as well as being somewhat lighter at 247kg than the original model.
With prices of Rs 18.49 lakh and Rs 21.49 lakh, respectively, the BS6 editions of the Ducati Diavel 1260 standard and S models are significantly more expensive than their BS4 equivalents. The Triumph Rocket 3 R and GT are the Diavel's closest competitors in India.
