Ducati has confirmed that it will release its new XDiavel V4 to Australian showrooms in August, priced from $46,500 rideaway.
The Ducati XDiavel V4, which effectively replaces the outgoing XDiavel 1260, looks to redefine the segment with a focus on performance from its new V4 Granturismo engine and sophisticated electronics suite.
This 1158cc powerplant, which is used in a number of models in Ducati’s line-up including the Multistrada V4 adventure bike, generates 125kW and 125Nm. For comparison, the 1262cc Testastretta L-twin powering the XDiavel 1260 generates 119kW and 127Nm.
This move to the V4 platform promises to combine familiar muscular cruiser ergonomics with strong performance, with the Italian bikemaker dubbing the model a ‘Sport Cruiser’.
The Ducati XDiavel V4 features a low and relaxed riding position with an enormous 240/45 rear tyre, which helps the 229kg bike spring from zero-to-100km/h in “less than three seconds”.
Despite its commanding size, the XDiavel V4 should offer thrilling handling dynamics for the cruiser category, and is backed up by high-end fully adjustable suspension and Brembo Stylema calipers grabbing twin 330mm discs on the front end.
According to Ducati, comfort is substantially improve thanks to the rear suspension with 25mm more travel compared to the XDiavel 1260 and, a thicker and wider saddle.
On the tech front, the XDiavel V4 boasts a six-axis IMU for lean-angle sensitive traction control and cornering ABS, as well as a quickshifter, launch control and a 6.9-inch TFT dash.
The 2025 Ducati XDiavel V4 will be available from August in two colours, Burning Red and Black Lava.
