Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati XDiavel V4 2026

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.

High maximum lean angle despite relaxed seating position

real consumption with a very sporty driving style
