New Ducati Diavel V4 RS Unveiled!

• New Diavel V4 RS revealed
• Gets 180bhp engine
• India will launch next year

Ducati has unveiled an extremely powerful version of its famous cruiser – the Diavel V4 RS. This bike will hit the European market later this year.

To make this Diavel significantly faster, the Italian engineers have reduced its overall kerb weight and equipped it with an extremely powerful engine. This bike now makes 180bhp at 11,750rpm, which does 0-100kmph in just 2.5 seconds. The gearbox has been revised to churn out faster acceleration in lower ratios. This motor is mated to a six-speed gearbox that can be operated via an STM EVO dry clutch. A latest quickshifter has also been installed on this Ducati.

Just like the rest of the Ducatis, the new Diavel V4 RS also gets a host of top-spec electronics. There’s cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control, and multiple riding modes. It also gets the launch control that is known to deliver optimum performance.

The new Diavel V4 RS is expected to arrive in India sometime next year, and when it does, it will be the most expensive Diavel sold in India to date.
