The 2025 Ducati Diavel 1260 takes the power cruiser segment to new heights with a perfect fusion of raw performance, cutting-edge technology, and aggressive Italian styling. Designed for riders who demand the muscular presence of a cruiser alongside the agility of a sport bike, it stands as an exceptional machine that commands attention and delivers thrills.
Engine and Performance
At the heart of the Diavel 1260 is the Ducati Testastretta DVT 1262 L-Twin engine, producing a potent 159.58 bhp at 9,500 rpm and 129 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. This liquid-cooled, dual-spark, desmodromic valve engine offers explosive acceleration and smooth power delivery, propelling the bike to a top speed close to 299 km/h. Multiple ride modes adjust throttle response and power output, enabling the Diavel to adapt seamlessly across different riding environments.
Design and Features
Boasting a muscular tubular steel trellis frame and wide handlebars, the Diavel 1260 exudes boldness. Its imposing fuel tank and split seat enhance both aesthetics and rider/passenger comfort. The bike features modern LED lighting: distinctive daytime running lights and a striking LED tail lamp that further emphasize its aggressive stance.
Riding Modes and Electronics
With Urban, Touring, and Sport riding modes, the Diavel fine-tunes power delivery, traction control, and ABS settings to match road conditions and rider preferences. Its suite of electronics includes Bosch Cornering ABS Evo, Ducati Wheelie Control Evo, and Ducati Power Launch Evo, providing superior safety, improved handling, and enhanced maneuverability.

Comfort and Ergonomics
Despite its aggressive demeanor, the Diavel 1260 offers an ergonomic riding position with a moderate 780 mm seat height, ensuring comfort during long rides. The wide handlebars and forward foot controls allow relaxed posture, while the digital instrument cluster provides clear information, including speed, gear position, and ride mode.
