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.

The X Diavel S from Ducati can do much more than you give it credit for. It rides nimbly and agilely through wide radii. In tight radii, you need a little pressure on the handlebars, but for a motorbike in this class, it offers unbeatable lean angle freedom. You can ride it sportily at high speeds. High-quality brakes and a great chassis complete this surprisingly agile riding machine. Clearly, the X Diavel S rides at least as well as it looks.
