Ducati has dropped a bombshell in the Indian motorcycle market with the XDiavel V4, priced at a premium ₹30.89 lakh ex-showroom. This isn’t just another cruiser; it’s a muscular beast blending Italian flair with raw power, perfect for riders craving that head-turning presence on Delhi streets or Mumbai highways.
Blending cruiser comfort with hyper-naked aggression, the XDiavel V4 stands out in India’s luxury bike segment. Expect unmatched torque and tech that makes every ride feel like a festival on wheels.
Engine Mastery: V4 Heart Delivers 168 HP Thrill
At the core of the Ducati XDiavel V4 lies the 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine, a liquid-cooled marvel firing out 168 hp at 10,750 rpm and a stump-pulling 126 Nm at 7,500 rpm. This isn’t your typical cruiser rumble—it’s a twin-pulse symphony that growls like a desi lion on the prowl, yet smooth enough for long hauls from Bangalore to Goa.
Ducati’s engineers have tuned this V4 for real-world Indian roads, with Euro 5+ compliance and BS6 Phase 2 readiness, sipping fuel at around 6.6 L/100 km. Imagine blasting past overloaded trucks on NH44 with effortless overtakes, thanks to the counter-rotating crankshaft minimizing vibrations. The elliptical throttle bodies and Ride-by-Wire make throttle response razor-sharp, ideal for twisty ghat sections where precision matters.
Paired with a slick 6-speed gearbox featuring Ducati Quick Shift up/down 2.0, gear changes are seamless—no clutch fumble in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Primary drive via straight-cut gears (1.80:1 ratio) ensures every bit of that V4 power hits the tarmac, making it a dream for adrenaline junkies who live for that power surge.
Design Drama: Sculpted Cruiser Turns Heads
Ducati XDiavel V4’s silhouette screams Italian machismo—low-slung at 770 mm seat height, with a long 1,620 mm wheelbase for planted stability. The aluminum monocoque frame wraps around that V4 like a tailored sherwani, weighing in at 229 kg dry—light for its class, agile like a Royal Enfield but ferocious.
Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tires (120/70 ZR17 front, 240/45 ZR17 rear) grip like glue on wet monsoon roads, mounted on cast alloy wheels (3.5×17 front, 8×17 rear). Front gets a beefy 50 mm USD fork (120 mm travel), while rear monoshock (145 mm travel) handles potholes like a boss. That single-sided swingarm? Pure eye-candy, flexing under power.
LED lighting is full-house: daytime running lights, dynamic turn indicators, and a backlit brake light that screams “see me!” in chaotic Indian traffic. Passenger grabs add practicality for pillion rides to Lonavala, but solo riders will love the cruise control for highway slogs.
Braking Brilliance: Safety Meets Supreme Stopping Power
No compromises here—dual 330 mm front discs with Brembo Stylema monobloc calipers (4-piston) clamp down with radial master cylinder precision. Rear 265 mm disc with 2-piston Brembo floater backs it up, all guarded by Cornering ABS. In panic stops from 100 km/h, it halts confidently without drama.
Ducati Traction Control (DTC), Wheelie Control (DWC), and multiple riding modes (Sport, Touring, Urban) tailor the XDiavel V4 to your mood—chill in city crawl or unleash hell on open roads. Add Power Launch for stoplight drags that leave superbikes blushing.
Tech Overload: 6.9-inch TFT Dashboard Rules
Dash is a 6.9-inch color TFT (1280×480 px), Optical Bonded for glare-free views under blazing Indian sun. Navigation via Turn-by-Turn, Ducati Multimedia System for phone pairing—stream your favorite Bollywood playlist while carving corners.
Hands-free ignition, backlit switches, and full-LEDs make night rides poetic. Ready for mid-footpegs kit? Customize to perfection at your Ducati dealer.

Price and Rivals: ₹30.89 Lakh Value King?
Ex-showroom Delhi at ₹30.89 lakh, on-road hits around ₹34-35 lakh with insurance and taxes—steep, but justified for V4 exclusivity. Rivals? Harley-Davidson Fat Bob (₹22 lakh, V-Twin), Indian Chief Dark Horse (₹31 lakh), or Triumph Rocket 3 (₹22 lakh). But none pack Ducati’s V4 punch or heritage.
Variants? Single variant in Aviator Grey or Black. Servicing: Oil change every 15,000 km, valves at 60,000 km—wallet-friendly for premium ownership.
Why XDiavel V4 Wins Indian Hearts
In a market obsessed with mileage, the Ducati XDiavel V4 flips the script—it’s for the passionate few who prioritize soul-stirring performance over penny-pinching. From Gurugram showrooms to Himalayan foothills, this cruiser redefines luxury biking with E-E-A-T credentials: Ducati’s racing DNA (MotoGP tech trickle-down), expert engineering, authoritative presence, and trustworthy build.
Riders who’ve thrashed prototypes rave about the planted handling despite cruiser stance—29° rake, 124 mm trail carves like a sportsbike. Fuel tank’s 20L means fewer chai stops. Emissions at 154 g/km CO2 keep eco-warriors happy.
