Technical Specifications Ducati Diavel 1260 S 2019 compared to Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2021
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Ducati Diavel 1260 S 2019
I was able to test the Ducati Diavel S in Marbella for over 200km on mountain roads in all modes at the best temperatures of over 20 degrees and I am very surprised at the agility of the bike. Despite the 240mm wide rear tyre, you don't get the feeling that you have to work hard to generate lean angle. On the contrary, it goes around the corners almost playfully. Of all the technical features and the steam, the relaxed riding position was my highlight. Please, how comfortable can you sit in a motorbike? The Diavel shows the way.
Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2021
The problem of the Streetfighter V4 S with Euro4 engine, namely no power in the lower rev range but explosion in the upper rev range, has been largely rectified with the update to Euro5. Although the disgusting 208 hp are still only available at 13,000 rpm, the SF V4 S now also works acceptably at lower revs. The electronic Öhlins suspension is at its best and the brute Brembo Stylema stoppers again celebrate the penchant for the racetrack. Ergonomics and handling are also basically good, but on the racetrack you would wish for lower handlebars because of the awesome power. A perfect poser bike that also works on the country road, and on the racetrack anyway. Only the too-loud sound should be curbed a little.
