Ducati Diavel V4 Launched In India; Ranveer Singh Is The First Customer

Bollywood super star Ranveer Singh is a self-confessed petrolhead and it’s clearly visible in his collection of cars. Ranveer owns a Maserati Quattroporte, Aston Martin Rapide, Mercedes-Benz GLS600 Maybach and Lamborghini Urus, now that’s quite a fancy fleet of machines we must say. The actor has added a new set of cool wheels to his garage and it isn’t a car but an Italian exotic. Ranveer Singh is now a proud owner of the Ducati Diavel V4 and he also has been signed as the brand ambassador for Ducati India. It’s the latest iteration of the power cruiser from Ducati and the Diavel V4 retails for Rs 25.91 lakh (ex-showroom).

Talking about the key highlights of the Diavel V4, as the name suggests it’s powered by a 1,158cc V4 power plant rated at 168 bhp and an earth-moving 126 Nm of peak torque. It comes paired to a 6-speed gearbox and quickshifter is standard. One of the key reasons for its popularity is the way the motorcycle looks and the name Diavel in Bolognese means devil and we couldn’t agree more. To keep all this power in check there is a vast array of electronics that can be controlled via switch cubes on the TFT screen. The Diavel V4 boasts 4 riding modes, multi-level traction control system, cornering ABS, launch control and even wheelie control. 

The other radical change on the new Diavel V4 apart from its engine is the new frame. Ducati has ditched the trellis frame for a monocoque chassis and this has resulted in a weight reduction of 12 kg compared to the older bike. The Ducati Diavel V4 competes with the Triumph Rocket 3.
