Ducati XDiavel V4 2025

Ducati XDiavel V4 2025

The Ducati XDiavel V4 is not a bike for the masses. It is demanding - both in terms of riding and price - but it also delivers. The V4 is incredible fun and offers massive grunt, albeit not in every situation. The suspension is suitable for touring, the brakes are impeccable and the electronics are at the highest level. The riding performance is much sportier than you would expect from the format. If you don't want to choose between a muscle bike and a cruiser, you get both here - with Ducati DNA, but also with its own peculiarities.

Powerful V4 engine with high revviness and sporty characteristics

High maximum lean angle despite relaxed seating position

Surprisingly agile handling for a cruiser of this size

Comfortable suspension set-up

High-quality braking system

Complete electronics package

Good ergonomics

Powerful appearance

Large, clearly legible 6.9 inch TFT display with sensible menu navigation

Surprisingly suitable for long distances

Chain slap below 2,500 rpm

Hardly possible to shift too lazy to shift, requires active shifting

High real consumption with a sporty driving style

Suspension can only be adjusted with difficulty

Visible hoses and cables, right side of the engine looks untidy
