Yesterday, Ducati released the new XDiavel series to meet Euro 5 emission requirements. The 2021 version of the "Big Devil" has added two new versions: ?XDiavel?Dark and XDiavel?Black? Star. The good news is that the Euro?5 update gives the XDiavel a power boost. The bad news is that only countries that meet emissions standards will get the update.
Emissions Upgrade Power Boost
Getting the XDiavel to meet Euro 5 emissions standards proved relatively easy, as Ducati simply used a new design derived from the Diavel 1260 exhaust Replaced the old silencer. Ducati subsequently recalibrated the engine, so the Testastretta DVT engine of the 2021 wide XDiavel series now has a maximum horsepower of 160hp/9500rpm and a maximum torque of 127Nm/5000rpm. Fortunately, the engine output has not shrunk but increased, with the maximum horsepower increased by 8hp and the maximum torque increased by 2Nm.
XDiavel?Dark/Black?Star
The XDiavel?Dark paint is matte black, with black frames and rims, while the XDiavel?Black?Star is black and gray with splashes of Ducati red and black wheels. The XDiavel Dark features matte black paint and a blacked-out engine and frame, lacks the S-model’s machined cast wheels and Ducati multimedia system, and uses M4.32 Brembo calipers in place of the S-model’s M50 brakes. Ironically, with a claimed curb weight of 247kg, it's 1.8kg lighter than the S model.
In markets outside Europe, Ducati will offer additional colors for the XDiavel Black Star, which also features suede leather seat fabric, forged and machined light alloy wheels and Brembo M50s .
All versions of the new XDiavel come with a Bosch inertial measurement unit (IMU), Bosch-Brembo ABS 9.1 MP cornering braking system, traction control, launch control, cruise control, LED lighting and 3.5 inch TFT display. Both the Black?Star and S models have a diamond-like coating on the front fork and feature a Bluetooth-compatible infotainment system.
The prices of Ducati’s 2021 “Big Devil” series are as follows: The standard version is priced at 17,595 pounds (approximately 154,000 yuan), and the S version is priced at 20,695 pounds (approximately 182,000 yuan).
