Ducati has unveiled the new XDiavel V4, a completely redesigned sport cruiser blending the performance of its MotoGP-derived V4 Granturismo engine with the relaxed ergonomics of a cruiser. Positioned as a bike for enthusiasts who seek a unique mix of style, power, and comfort, the XDiavel V4 will be available in dealerships worldwide by November/December 2025.
The XDiavel V4 is powered by a 1,158 cc V4 Granturismo engine that delivers 166 bhp and 125.5 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm. The engine's counter-rotating crankshaft enhances handling dynamics while its extended deactivation system improves fuel efficiency by shutting off the rear cylinder bank at low revs. Ducati has also set new benchmarks in the category with the engine's low maintenance requirements, with major servicing intervals extended to 60,000 km.
The motorcycle's design is a contrast of muscular yet elegant lines, paired with bold supercar-inspired shapes. Visual highlights include its distinctive single-sided swingarm, a five-spoke rear wheel wrapped in a 240/45 tyre, and a four-exit exhaust system. Available in two unique metallic colours, Burning Red and Black Lava, the XDiavel V4 embodies a sharp aesthetic. Enhanced lighting, including full-LED clusters and a double C-shaped DRL, adds to the bike's premium appeal.
The XDiavel V4 prioritises rider and passenger comfort with features such as a low 770 mm seat height, ergonomic handlebars, and an improved suspension system. The seat is wider, thicker, and more spacious than previous models, while the passenger benefits from a grab handle as standard. For added customisation, Ducati offers adjustable footpegs and optional comfort or lowered seats.
Performance remains a focal point, with the XDiavel V4 accelerating from 0 to 100 kmph in less than three seconds. The Brembo Stylema braking system with 330 mm discs delivers race-grade deceleration, while the fully adjustable front and rear suspension enhances ride quality across terrains.
Ducati has equipped the XDiavel V4 with an advanced electronics package, including three Power Modes and four Riding Modes (Sport, Touring, Urban, and Wet) to tailor the bike’s performance to various conditions. Safety systems such as ABS Cornering, Ducati Traction Control, and Ducati Wheelie Control provide additional confidence for riders. A 6.9-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity enables smartphone pairing for calls, messages, music, and optional turn-by-turn navigation via the Ducati Link App.
For touring enthusiasts, Ducati offers optional accessories, including semi-rigid 48-litre panniers, a passenger backrest, and touring windshields. The bike can also be personalised with sportier components like a homologated exhaust and single-seater tail fairing.
