The Ducati Diavel 1260 is the company’s muscle bike and perhaps one of the most popular ones in India. The BS6 Diavel 1260 has just been launched in India at Rs 18,49,000, making it dearer than the BS4 version by Rs 79,000. The S variant is priced at Rs 21,49,000, which is Rs 2,24,000 more than its predecessor. The 2021 model is slightly more powerful and heavier than before.

The S variant is priced at Rs 21,49,000, which is Rs 2,24,000 more than its predecessor. The 2021 model is slightly more powerful and heavier than before.
There are two variants of the Ducati Diavel 1260: standard and S. The standard variant of the Ducati Diavel price is Rs 18.49 lakh. The Ducati Diavel 1260 S costs Rs 21.49 lakh, both ex-showroom India.
The Ducati Diavel 1260 is one of the most technologically advanced motorcycles in its segment. The Italians have redesigned the look of the muscle bike with a fresh new face. All lighting systems are LED-lit with the front turn indicators neatly integrated into the radiator covers. On both trims, a 3.5-inch TFT color display is present with unique layouts for each rider mode. While you have to pay extra to get the Ducati Multimedia System on the base model, the module is a standard fitment on the Diavel 1260 S. The module allows you to connect your smartphone to the console and control your music on the go. Other notable premium touches include red backlit switches and keyless ignition.
The Ducati Diavel 1260 shares the Euro 5 / BS6-compliant 1,262cc Testastretta DVT engine with the XDiavel and the Multistrada 1260. On this muscle bike, the engine produces a whopping 162PS (3PS more than the BS4 bike) at 9500rpm and 129Nm at 7500rpm. The motor is paired to a six-speed gearbox with a hydraulically actuated slip-and-assist clutch. On the base Diavel, you get the entire Ducati Safety Pack as standard, which includes multiple rider modes, traction control, wheelie control, and cornering ABS, all of these are aided by a six-axis IMU. Other standard riding aids include cruise control and launch control. The only thing that you miss out in this trim that is stock on the S model is the bi-directional quick shifter.
Ducati has made a whole host of updates in the mechanical department of the Diavel 1260. The standard Diavel gets a 50mm adjustable USD fork and a preload- and rebound-adjustable monoshock affixed onto an aluminum single-sided swingarm. If you opt for the Diavel 1260 S, you get a top-spec 48mm USD fork and fully-adjustable monoshock units made by Swedish suspension wizards, Ohlins. There is also a slight difference in the braking hardware of the two trims. The lower-spec model gets Brembo’s M4.32 monobloc calipers at the front while the S gets the more advanced Brembo M50 monoblocs, both of which act on 320mm rotors. The rear brake setup remains the same: a 265mm disc with a Brembo dual-piston caliper. One of the major highlights of the Diavel is its ridiculously wide 240/45-section rear tire by Pirelli.
The Ducati Diavel 1260 has no direct rivals. The muscle bike is somewhat of a mental motorcycle and one can draw parallels between the Indian FTR 1200, the Triumph Rocket 3, and the Harley-Davidson Fat Bob. For the same price, you could also buy the BMW R 1250 GS and the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy.
