The Ducati Diavel 1260 S – a motorcycle that embodies the perfect blend of style, performance, and versatility. Launched at EICMA in 2010, this iconic bike stunned the world with its bold design, sport naked handling, and thoroughlybred engine. Now, in its second generation, the Diavel 1260 has evolved to deliver even more assertive lines, higher performance, and enhanced comfort for both rider and passenger.

At its heart lies the Testastretta DVT 1262 engine, which effortlessly combines breathtaking acceleration with silky-smooth low-rev power delivery – ideal for everyday rides or long-distance tours. The upgraded chassis set-up makes the Diavel 1260 more responsive on mixed-road routes, while cutting-edge technology and electronics provide exceptional braking performance and user-friendly engine control.

And with its upright riding position and large, generously padded seat, comfort levels are outstanding for both rider and passenger alike.

The result is a motorcycle that’s as comfortable on the daily commute as it is thrilling on twisty roads – and yet still manages to deliver exceptional performance and handling capabilities. The Ducati Diavel 1260 S is an unapologetic thrill-seeker with a heart of gold, engineered to provide an unforgettable riding experience.
