Ducati Diavel 1260 S 2019

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.
