2019 DUCATI X-DIAVEL S - ZA BIKERS IN SOUTH AFRICA

Okay, gather around and listen closely because this is important: The XDiavel is Ducati’s interpretation of a power cruiser. And as such, this brawny, unmistakable boulevard bike shares few design cues with traditional examples of that genre—cosmetic, mechanical, or otherwise. Yes, it has a low-profile 240mm-wide rear tire, a pullback handlebar, a low dished seat, forward foot controls, a bruiser of a V-twin (suspended from a steel trellis frame), and belt final drive, but there is nothing classically American (think Harley-Davidson or the new Indian Motorcycle) about the XDiavel’s stretched-out, pavement-hugging silhouette.
