The Ducati Diavel V4 is a muscle roadster that fuses power-cruiser attitude with superbike performance, magnetising attention in any setting. It blends the low-slung stance and fat rear tyre of a cruiser with the aggression of a sport naked. A sculpted tank, muscular tail and striking design define its unmistakable presence. For riders who want cruiser luxury with genuine superbike-grade go, it redefines what a performance cruiser can be.
Power comes from a 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine producing around 168hp at 10,750rpm and 126Nm at 7,500rpm, mated to a six-speed gearbox. It delivers blistering acceleration wrapped in a refined, commanding ride, with a top-tier exhaust note. At about 236kg it is substantial, but the power makes it feel effortless. It combines relaxed cruising ability with explosive, on-demand performance. The upright yet commanding stance keeps the rider in control, while the fat rear tyre and low seat give it genuine muscle-cruiser attitude on the road.
This bike suits riders who want a bold, muscular cruiser with superbike performance and striking road presence. It is ideal for those who value both relaxed cruising and explosive acceleration, and who want a head-turning statement machine. Experienced riders who can handle its weight and power will enjoy it most. It is less suited to beginners or those wanting nimble city agility and low running costs.
Braking uses strong Brembo discs with cornering ABS, supported by Ducati Traction Control, wheelie control and multiple ride modes. The composed chassis manages the weight and power confidently at speed. The commanding ergonomics aid control and visibility. For a power cruiser, the safety and electronics package is comprehensive and reassuring.
The Diavel V4 comes with a colour TFT display, multiple ride modes, full-LED lighting and premium finish, with turn-by-turn navigation offered as an add-on. Its blend of cruiser comfort and superbike tech is distinctive. The striking Centro Stile design and quality detailing lift its appeal. For riders wanting a tech-rich muscle cruiser, the equipment is well judged.
As an imported premium cruiser, the Diavel V4 should be bought with a Ducati service centre confirmed nearby, as coverage is smaller than mass-market brands. Service, tyres and consumables are premium-priced, and it runs warm in city traffic. The V4 Granturismo’s long service intervals help. Budget for premium-brand upkeep.
With an ARAI figure near 15.6kmpl and a 20-litre tank, the Diavel V4 offers reasonable range for a large V4 cruiser, with owners reporting up to around 18 to 21kmpl on relaxed rides. Premium tyres and periodic service form the main costs, and city heat is a consideration. For a performance cruiser, the usage cost fits its premium positioning.
The Diavel V4 is priced from about Rs. 29.66 lakh to Rs. 29.98 lakh (ex-showroom) across its standard and Black Roadster schemes, with on-road prices near Rs. 33 lakh in metros. It is offered in colours like Thrilling Black and Ducati Red. It rivals power cruisers and muscle roadsters in the premium segment.

Yes. The Diavel V4 pairs a long-service V4 with quality build, so it is dependable over years when serviced on schedule. Long-term ownership depends on access to a Ducati service centre for parts and maintenance.
It is comfortable for relaxed highway cruising and thrilling on open roads, but its weight and city heat make dense traffic less comfortable. It suits riders who want cruiser comfort with explosive performance rather than pure city commuting.
It is a premium cruiser, so service, tyres and consumables cost more than mass-market rivals, and the big V4 uses more fuel than a twin. Budgeting for premium-brand upkeep is important.
If you want a muscle cruiser with superbike performance, the Diavel V4 is distinctive. Cross-shop the XDiavel V4 for a more laid-back stance, or Harley-Davidson and Triumph power cruisers. Choose the Diavel for its aggressive performance and looks.
Ducati generally recommends servicing at set intervals, with the V4 Granturismo offering longer service and valve-check intervals per the owner's manual. Following the schedule protects the warranty and keeps the engine healthy.
With disciplined servicing and care, the Diavel V4 can comfortably last well over a decade and 80,000 to 1,00,000 km. Longevity depends most on timely maintenance and access to Ducati genuine parts.
