Ducati unveiled its 2020 line-up earlier this month.
The company announced several new and updated models in its 2020 portfolio.
Among the list of updated models was the 2020 Diavel power cruiser with new
colour options. The motorcycle, however, packs a Euro-IV compliant engine only.
The Multistrada 1260 S Grand Tour, too, features a Euro-IV motor.
The 2020 colour schemes bring Dark Stealth option
for the standard version and an all-new Ducati Red with white trims for the S
version. The Dark Stealth colour brings matt black finish to the frame, rims
and the mechanical parts. The changes are limited to the new paint options, and
the Diavel retains the styling and mechanical specifications.
The specification sheet retains the 1,262 cc L-Twin
cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with 4 valves per cylinder, Dual Spark and
Desmodromic Variable Timing that pumps out 159 hp of max power at 9,500 rpm and
129 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm. The Ride by Wire (RbW) continues to feature
three Riding Modes and three Power Modes. The Diavel 1260 S comes standard
with Ducati Quick Shift up&down (DQS), and this feature can be added to the
base model. The engine slipper continues to pack the slipper/assist clutch
mechanism.
The suspension specification on the base model
comprises 50 mm inverted front forks and preload and rebound adjustable
mono-shock at the back. Anchoring hardware on the standard model includes twin
320 mm semi-floating discs with radially mounted Brembo monobloc 4-piston M4.32
callipers and PR18/19 radial master cylinder at the front. The rear uses single
265 mm disc with 2-piston Brembo floating calliper.
The more premium version benefits from Brembo M50 callipers on the front discs. The shock absorption
tasks on the S version are performed by 48 mm Ohlins adjustable front forks and
Ohlins fully adjustable rear mono-shock.
The standard safety pack on both variants include
Bosch Cornering ABS Evo, Ducati Traction Control Evo DTC, Riding Modes, Power
Modes and Ducati Wheelie Control Evo (DWC). Key features such as Cruise
control, Ducati Power Launch Evo (DPL), hands-free, backlit handlebar switches,
3.5" TFT colour display, full LED lighting system and Self-cancelling turn
indicators are also standard on both variants. The S version, however, also
features Daytime Running Light (DRL) and Ducati Multimedia System (DMS).
