What Makes the 2026 Diavel V4 RS So Special?
The Diavel V4 RS sits at the top of Ducati’s power cruiser lineup. Its beating heart is a 1,262cc Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine delivering a staggering 224 hp and approximately 129 Nm of torque. That means explosive acceleration, silky smooth delivery, and confidence at high speed — combining the ferocity of a sportbike with the comfort of a touring motorcycle.
Performance and Power Delivery
The V4 engine offers the best of both worlds: strong low-end torque for city cruising and aggressive top-end rush for open highways. With Ducati Quick Shift and a six-speed transmission, gear changes are lightning-fast and effortless. Riders can switch between modes like Sport, Touring, Street, and Wet, adjusting traction control, ABS, and throttle response to suit the terrain and mood.
Advanced Technology and Features
- Full-colour TFT instrument cluster with navigation and Bluetooth
- Ducati Traction Control, Slide Control & Wheelie Control
- Cornering ABS with adaptive suspension
- Multiple ride modes for all conditions
Through Bluetooth connectivity, riders can handle calls, music, and GPS directly on the display — turning the Diavel into a high-tech touring companion.
Comfort & Ergonomics
Despite its aggressive design, the Diavel V4 RS ensures lasting comfort. The sculpted seat supports long rides, while the slightly forward-leaning handlebar position improves control without causing fatigue. With adjustable suspension, it’s as ready for spirited cornering as it is for relaxed highway cruising.
Mileage and Fuel Economy
The Diavel’s high-performance V4 engine returns an estimated 12–14 km/l depending on riding style. Its 17-litre fuel tank provides ample range for touring when ridden conservatively, making it both powerful and practical.
