2017 Ducati Diavel Dark Stealth

A statement of personality

The bold lines and innovative shapes of the Diavel Dark merge to create a superb

unmistakable design

capable of turning every head. The unique character of the powerful 162 hp Testastretta 11° Dual Spark engine

ensuring muscular torque

combines with the athletic ease of a chassis built to provide riding pleasure beyond all expectations.

Design

The stance of the Diavel is that of readiness

dominance

and confidence bordering on superiority. Lateral radiators add muscle to its broad "shoulders

" which then taper down across the engine and into the belly-fairing with its oil cooler

giving shape to the athlete.

A massive 240 section rear tyre is the perfect example of how Diavel designers used a no-compromise attitude when applying their wish list of features. The sheer width of rubber communicates so much power and style that the R&D team vowed to find

and succeeded in finding

a way to make it handle - even if they knew the image would send a seismic shock through the industry.

The Diavel is a true Ducati

born from a passion for motorcycling and designed to deliver authentic Ducati performance in every respect.

Concept

The Diavel project was born when Ducati designers applied their wish-list of a bike's "basic instincts" to a blank canvas. With a "what if?" approach to creating a dream bike

they sketched inspiring forms which became a low

long

sleek and aggressive motorcycle that was born to dominate the boulevard.

"The challenge of building a muscular silhouette over a pure-bred competition motor had to be met with determination and a delicate touch

and the result is a frontal area that looks like a power athlete on the starting blocks

" explains the team at Ducati Design responsible for the project. "With the front wheel kept close to the Diavel's body and using the short tail of a sport bike

we were able to blend this muscular design with a chassis that matched."

Testrastretta 11°

The Diavel's heart is the Ducati Testastretta 11° Dual Spark (DS) - developed directly from the incredibly powerful

world-beating race engines of Ducati Corse. Ducati's Testastretta 11° DS harnesses the immense power of the Superbike engine and makes it smoother and more linear

combining high performance with an enjoyable and perfectly manageable ride.To create an engine with this blend of brute power and supreme usability

Ducati carefully developed its cam timing with a particular focus on the valve overlap angle. Defined as the period of crankshaft rotation (in degrees) during which both intake and exhaust valves are open at the same time

this overlap angle is set at 11° on the Diavel's engine - much less than the 41° used by Ducati's Superbike engines. As a result the fresh inlet charge is less compromised by exiting exhaust gases

resulting in smoother combustion

improved fuel economy

and lower exhaust emissions.

Along these same lines

the Testastretta 11° DS employs several other technological advances. Targeted injectors direct their charge to the intake valves

which provides better vaporization of the air/fuel mixture. This compressed intake charge is ignited by twin spark plugs in each chamber for rapid and even combustion. And after exiting the combustion chamber

a secondary air system burns off any residual fuel molecules

allowing a richer mixture to be used without increasing emissions. As a combined result of these technologies the Testastretta 11° DS is the perfect base for the Diavel - full of character

and producing tremendous power that give unmatched acceleration

along with smooth and controllable delivery for cruising the boulevard at any speed.
