Ducati XDiavel V4 Unveiled: India Launch Expected in September 2025
A More Relaxed, Cruiser-Oriented Sibling to the Diavel V4
Ducati has officially unveiled the 2025 XDiavel V4, a motorcycle that takes the performance-packed Diavel V4 platform and refines it into a more laid-back power cruiser. With revised ergonomics, subtle styling changes, and the same powerful V4 Granturismo engine, the XDiavel V4 promises to be a unique offering in the premium cruiser motorcycle space. The bike is expected to arrive in India by September 2025.
Engine & Performance
Powering the Ducati XDiavel V4 is the 1,158cc, liquid-cooled V4 Granturismo engine. The motor delivers 170PS at 10,750rpm and 126Nm of torque at 7,500rpm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox and a bi-directional quickshifter. These figures ensure that the XDiavel remains as exhilarating as its sibling, while catering more to riders who prefer relaxed long-distance cruising.
Features & Technology
The XDiavel V4 comes packed with Ducati’s electronic rider aids, making it as modern as it is powerful. Some of the standout features include:
-
Riding modes and power modes
-
Traction control system
-
Cornering ABS
-
Wheelie control
-
6.9-inch TFT console with smartphone connectivity
-
Turn-by-turn navigation support
This tech suite ensures both convenience and safety, catering to modern-day riders who expect cutting-edge technology.
Chassis & Suspension
The bike is underpinned by an aluminium monocoque frame, which ensures strength while keeping weight in check. It gets:
-
Inverted front forks with full adjustability
-
Monoshock suspension at the rear, also fully adjustable
-
Single-sided swingarm for a premium look
-
17-inch alloy wheels with 120-section front and massive 240-section rear Pirelli Diablo Rosso 3 tyres
This setup not only makes the bike look muscular but also provides confidence-inspiring handling and comfort.
Design & Ergonomics
While the XDiavel V4 shares its core DNA with the Diavel V4, Ducati has worked on several changes to emphasize its cruiser appeal:
-
A muscular sculpted fuel tank
-
Slightly different side panels with metallic “V4” badging
-
A longer seat for better comfort
-
Wider handlebar and forward-set footpegs, offering a more relaxed riding stance
Compared to the Diavel V4’s neutral position, the XDiavel V4 is designed to be a true cruiser, allowing riders to settle into long-distance comfort while retaining Ducati’s trademark aggression.
Price & Competition
For reference, the Ducati Diavel V4 retails at ā¹27.29 lakh (ex-showroom) in India. The XDiavel V4, with its added cruiser credentials, is expected to command a slight premium. Once launched, it will take on other global power cruisers such as the Triumph Rocket 3.
Conclusion
The 2025 Ducati XDiavel V4 is more than just a Diavel variant — it’s Ducati’s take on blending superbike performance with cruiser comfort. With relaxed ergonomics, subtle design changes, and a feature-loaded electronics package, it stands out as a true power cruiser for riders who want performance without compromising on long-distance comfort. Expected to launch in India by September 2025, the XDiavel V4 could well redefine the premium cruiser segment in the country.
