Bookings begin for Ducati XDiavel and Multistrada Enduro

Ducati has started accepting bookings for the XDiavel and the Multistrada Enduro. With deliveries expected to commence in July, customers can book these motorcycles for a token amount of Rs 1 lakh.

While the standard Ducati Multistrada 1200 S in itself is a decent off-roader, the Multistrada Enduro is gets a more comprehensive set of technical and mechanical updates to make it even more capable. The Multistrada Enduro rides on rugged wire spoke wheels with knobbly Pirelli tyres to improve its off-road potential. The suspension travel has been raised to help it cope with rough terrains. Powering the Multistrada Enduro is the same 1198cc Testastretta DVT L-twin engine, which churns out 160bhp and 136Nm of torque. The electronics package has been carried over from the standard Multistrada 1200 S.

The Ducati XDiavel is the Italian manufacturer’s first ever cruiser. It is built around a brand new steel tubular trellis frame with a single-sided swingarm. The ergonomics have been completely revised to offer a more laid back riding position. At the heart of the XDiavel is a 1262cc Testastretta L-Twin engine, which delivers 155bhp and 129Nm of torque to the rear wheel through a belt drive. The electronics package includes cornering ABS, traction control, rider modes and a launch control system.

Both the XDiavel and the Multistrada Enduro would be sold alongside their standard models. They’ll be imported to the country as CBUs, which means that they would attract heavy custom duties. We can expect the prices of both these models to be revealed as we get closer to July.
