Ducati XDiavel 2016

Ducati XDiavel 2016

While the Ducati Diavel primarily aroused interest with its brute appearance, both the XDiavel and the even better equipped XDiavel S can now captivate with a ravishing look. The engine, braking system and suspension tuning cannot and will not deny their sporty side; together with various riding modes, adjustable traction control and even launch control, the XDiavel is the racing machine among cruisers.

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2016

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2016

KTM knows no turning back and KTM knows no quarter. That's why the new 1290 Super Duke R is a little easier to handle than its predecessor, but also a little stronger and faster. Already at 2500 rpm, over 100 Nm are available, the maximum is 141, the top performance is stated at 177 hp. That may be too much, but it doesn't have to be. The electronics remain the lifeline in this category, where development continues to move forward strongly. KTM has started where it had difficulties and that was stability. Changes to the geometry and chassis have improved this significantly, making the ride on the beast not only faster, but also safer. The handling is no less radical for that, and the supermoto genes are more evident than on any other naked bike. There can only be one Super Duke.

Monstrous engine and torque

wide rev range

little vibration

strong brakes

extensive electronics

great extras

high-quality details

unrivalled aggressive looks.

Automatic gearshift a little too coarse
