Out of all the models in Ducati’s lineup, the Diavel just has to be the most un-Ducati of them all. I mean, don’t get me wrong, the Diavel is by all means a badass machine—but it sort of doesn’t really know what it wants to be.
Is it a cruiser? Well, its laid-back ergonomics would certainly suggest so. But its 168-horsepower V4 engine and cutting-edge technology seems to suggest that this thing is more about performance.
Pretty much everyone describes the Ducati Diavel in their own unique way. I’ve heard folks calling it a big naked bike, a cruiser-sportbike, a sport-touring bike, and the list goes on. But generally speaking, it’s widely considered to be a power cruiser, which is really just a way of calling it a cruiser that has way more power than it has any business having.
