Ducati Diavel 1260 Materico was recently unveiled at
the Milan Design Week. A one-off design, the Ducati Diavel 1260 Materico, as
compared to the standard Diavel 1260, gets a raft of design tweaks as well as
material upgrades. According to he Italian motorcycle maker, the special
iteration of the Diavel 1260 serves to pay homage to the Milan Design Week.
Apart from some design tweaks, which includes yellow
accents around the air inlets and Alcantara saddle, there are no mechanical
changes to the motorcycle. Simply put, it uses the same Ducati Testastretta DVT
1262 cc twin-cylinder engine that puts out 159 horses and 129 Nm of torque.
This engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox with slipper clutch.
The suspension duties are tended to by Ohlins USD
forks up front and a mono-shock with adjustable preload and single-sided
swingarm at the rear. Braking duties are handled by Brembo disc brakes at the
front and rear along with dual-channel ABS from Bosch.
Talking about the rider aids available, the Ducati
Diavel 1260 Materico is no different from its sibling. So, it gets Ducati
Traction Control Evo (DTC), various riding modes, and Ducati Wheelie Control
(DWC) along with cruise control and the Ducati Power Launch (DPL) system.
