Ducati XDiavel V4 Teased Ahead of India Launch; Bookings Open

Ducati India has teased the XDiavel V4 on its official social media channels, indicating that the motorcycle’s India launch is approaching. Bookings for the XDiavel V4 are also open across authorised Ducati dealerships in the country.

The XDiavel V4 was unveiled in global markets earlier this year and will join Ducati’s V4-powered lineup in India. It sits alongside the Diavel V4 but differs mainly in terms of riding ergonomics and overall layout.

Ducati XDiavel V4: Design

The XDiavel V4 adopts a cruiser-style riding position with forward-set footpegs and a swept-back handlebar. Ducati has also reworked the rider triangle to offer a more relaxed posture. Mid-mounted footpegs will be available as an accessory.

Compared to the Diavel V4, the XDiavel V4 features a revised alloy wheel design and a different side profile. The seat height stands at 770mm, which is 20mm lower than the Diavel V4. Ducati has also widened the pillion seat to improve passenger comfort. The global-spec model has a kerb weight of 226kg without fuel, making it around 6kg heavier than the Diavel V4.

The XDiavel V4 is mechanically identical to the Diavel V4. It is powered by a 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine, updated to meet Euro 5+ norms. Output figures are rated at 168hp at 10,750rpm and 126Nm of torque at 7,500rpm. Power is sent to the rear wheel via a six-speed gearbox with a bi-directional quickshifter. Unlike the earlier XDiavel 1260, which used a belt drive, the V4 version uses a chain drive.

Suspension duties are handled by a fully adjustable 50mm USD front fork and a fully adjustable rear monoshock paired with an aluminium single-sided swingarm. Braking hardware includes twin 330mm semi-floating front discs with Brembo Stylema calipers and a 265mm rear disc, supported by cornering ABS.

The electronics package is largely shared with the Diavel V4. This includes multiple riding modes, power modes, traction control, wheelie control, launch control and cruise control. The XDiavel V4 uses a 6.9-inch TFT display, similar to the units seen on the Panigale and Streetfighter V4 models. LED lighting with DRLs and dynamic indicators is also part of the standard equipment.

The Ducati XDiavel V4 will be offered in Burning Red and Black Lava colour options. Once launched, it is expected to be priced at around Rs 30 lakh (ex-showroom), placing it above the Diavel V4, which is currently priced at Rs 29.08 lakh (ex-showroom). An official launch timeline is expected to be announced soon.
