The 2022 Ducati Diavel 1260 - An Exhilarating Ride on a Sporty Beast
Motorcycle enthusiasts around the globe have been waiting in anticipation for the new 2022 models, and the Ducati Diavel 1260 does not disappoint. Developed by Ducati Motorcycles, a brand synonymous with speed, innovation, and cutting-edge technology, the Diavel 1260 is something to marvel at in the Sport Bike category.
Undoubtedly what makes the Diavel 1260 an absolute power machine is the Testastretta DVT 1262 engine under the hood. Offering 116 kW of power at 9,250 rpm and torque of 129 Nm at 7,500 rpm, this sport bike promises an electrifying ride with an impressive throttle response. Complementing this performance is the Bosch electronic fuel injection system, immersing the rider in the true Ducati riding experience.
Riding the new Diavel 1260 is an indulgence in more ways than one. The Ducati Power Launch and Cruise Control features work impressively well and the features like Hands-Free operation, Backlit Handlebar Switches, and 3.5" TFT Color Display improve the riding experience tremendously. Keep things under control the Ducati way with Riding Modes, Power Modes, Cornering ABS, and Ducati Traction Control all working in harmony to offer a safe yet exhilarating ride.
The six-speed gearbox does a fine job too, guaranteeing smooth transitions while the tubular steel trellis frame assures a solid structure. Couple this with the adjustable Marzocchi fork front, and Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tires, and you have a bike that not only looks stylish but delivers on performance too.
One of the most distinctive aspects of the Diavel 1260 is its sleek, muscular design. Its 221 kg dry weight and 780 mm seat height result in a bike that doesn't just look amazing, but also feels fantastic to ride. With a fuel tank capacity of 17 liters for international versions, and 16 liters for US, Canada, and Mexico versions, the riders can plan for long cruises without constant refueling.
The 2022 Ducati Diavel 1260 is a showcase of the uncompromising commitment to motorcycle creation by one of Italy's finest manufacturers. While it does come at a slightly steeper price point - with an MSRP of $21,195, the experience it delivers and the envy it evokes justify the cost.
From its powerhouse engine to thoughtful equipment, and onto a design sure to turn heads, the 2022 Ducati Diavel 1260 signals a new dawn in sport biking.
