2015 Ducati Diavel Dark, 2014 Ducati Diavel Dark The dark side of power Total black, powerful, assertive. Sophisticated design meets the powerand exuberance of 162 hp. The striking engine colour dominates the details, revealing the Diavels very essence. Diavel concept The Diavel project was born when Ducati designers applied their wish-list of bike basic instincts to a blank canvas. With a what if? approach to creating a dream bike, they sketched inspiring shapes which became a lower and longer motorcycle. 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.
