2011 Ducati Diavel Carbon
The 2011 Ducati Diavel Carbon embodies the true nature of the Diavel concept, where performance combines with style to celebrate Italian engineering at its best. Ducati has created something truly magic.
Livery and specifications are defined and Ducati is ready to make his dream a reality. While waiting for the official presentation of Ducati also comes the anticipation of the name of this great news that, inspired by an expression in the dialect of Bologna, will be called "DIAVEL", or "devil."
Despite the "Diavel Carbon" weighing in at 207 kg (456 pounds) dry and featuring bulkier dimensions than any other Ducati it still handles very well. The midrange of the Diavel engine is very impressive.
Central in the riding experience was the exclusive Pirelli Diablo Rosso II 240/45-ZR17 rear tire. The sharper profile helps turning the bike into corners and the sticky sportbike compound keeps it all in shape. Attention to detail and finish is a new high for Ducati on the Diavel. The electronics package is impressive with features such as a well functioning traction control, ABS and three different preset riding modes that are adjustable.
As for Monster, the name DIAVEL then becomes the expression of that unique, passionate, further characterized by high technology and a unique design distinguishes every Ducati motorcycle produced.
The new Ducati Diavel Carbon be extremely accurate in every detail, carved in every muscle, comfortable and innovative. As in any real Ducati, the performance will play a very important role. A relaxed riding position, the suspension comfort and safety are guaranteed by the ABS, traction control and standard riding mode, will satisfy even those riders who love to drive in peace, enjoying the street, landscape and all the characteristics of This new dream Ducati.
