The 2025 Ducati XDiavel V4 is a sport cruiser with the heart of a superbike, delivering a thrilling combination of power, cutting-edge technology, and bold styling. At its core is the 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine, a MotoGP-inspired powerhouse that churns out 168 horsepower at 10,750 rpm. This upgrade from the previous L-twin not only boosts performance but also enhances rideability, thanks to its refined power delivery and advanced cylinder deactivation system that reduces fuel consumption and improves cooling. Ducati’s engineering expertise ensures that this engine maintains peak efficiency with an impressive valve adjustment interval of 60,000 km.
Acceleration is nothing short of breathtaking, with the XDiavel V4 launching from 0 to 60 mph in under three seconds. A massive 240mm rear tire provides superb traction, while Ducati’s Power Launch system optimizes grip for maximum acceleration. The bike’s agility is further enhanced by a new monocoque aluminum chassis, reducing weight by 5 kg compared to its predecessor. With a dry weight of 223 kg and refined steering geometry, it offers improved handling in both urban environments and aggressive cornering situations.
Electronics play a key role in shaping the riding experience, with four distinct riding modes – Sport, Touring, Urban, and Wet – adjusting throttle response, traction control, and wheel lift assistance to suit different conditions. Three selectable power modes allow for either relaxed cruising or an all-out performance ride. The Brembo Stylema braking system ensures top-tier stopping power with dual 330mm front discs and a single 265mm rear disc, offering confidence-inspiring control at high speeds.
The cockpit is designed for intuitive interaction, featuring a 6.9-inch TFT display that integrates smartphone connectivity, navigation, and Ducati’s Multimedia System for calls and music playback. Illuminated handlebar controls improve usability in low-light conditions, emphasizing Ducati’s attention to detail. Visually, the XDiavel V4 stays true to its signature long, low, and aggressive stance, now enhanced with striking new color options – Burning Red and Black Lava. Four sculpted exhaust tips amplify the unmistakable sound of the V4 engine, while minimalist LED lighting adds a futuristic touch.
Set to hit the market in summer 2025, the Ducati XDiavel V4 is expected to be priced around €30,000 in Europe. For riders seeking a fusion of cruiser comfort and superbike aggression, this model is an undeniable statement of performance, innovation, and Italian craftsmanship. Ducati has once again redefined expectations, proving that the XDiavel V4 is not just another cruiser but a machine that lives by its own rules.
