(13 February 2025) Ducati has unveiled its new (lighter and more powerful) XDiavel V4 for 2025 – a beast. Here’s a first look at the sporty, muscle cruiser.

Ducati XDiavel V4 – Granturismo Engine

The latest addition to the Bologna manufacturer’s lineup features the MotoGP-derived V4 Granturismo engine with a counter-rotating crankshaft for enhanced handling. The engine produces 168 horsepower at 10,750 rpm and a meaty 12.8 kgm (126 Nm) of torque at 7,500 rpm.

That’s slightly more grunt than you’ll find in the Multistrada V4 and offers 0-100 km/h acceleration in under 3 seconds. Maintenance intervals are set at 60,000 km for major services.

Chasis & Components

The new machine combines cruiser comfort with sportbike performance, weighing 229 kg (kerb weight) – 6 kg lighter than its predecessor, the XDiavel 1260 S.

The design retains the model’s characteristic low profile with a slightly longer wheelbase (by 5mm) – while introducing modern elements like the double-C DRL headlight and quad exhaust system.
