New 2022 Ducati Diavel V4 Unveiled With Considerable Upgrades, Know Expected India Launch & Price — IN PICS

In terms of suspension, the Diavel V4 has 50 mm diameter upside-down forks and a single shock absorber. Wheel travel is 120 mm at the front and 145 mm at the rear- which is 15 more than the previous Diavel 1260. (Photo: Somnath Chatterjee)

It is not only performance though as there is now a cylinder deactivation system that shuts two cylinders to save fuel. The new Diavel V4 has a 6-speed gearbox with a bi-directional quick-shifter. (Photo: Somnath Chatterjee)

Chassis changes and updates have brought down the weight of the Diavel V4 by 13kg when compared to the previous model too. In total, the Diavel V4 weighs around 223 kg now. A lightweight aluminum monocoque frame is attached to the cylinder heads while there is a single-sided swingarm cast plus steel trellis rear frame. (Photo: Somnath Chatterjee)

In talking of comfort and ergonomics, the handlebars have been brought 20 mm closer now. (Photo: Somnath Chatterjee)

While the bike is as gorgeous as ever with its air intakes and sculpted fuel tank, there are changes in form of a new LED daytime running light at the front which is C-shaped along with new LED tail-light. There are two colours on offer- Red and Thrilling Black. (Photo: Somnath Chatterjee)

We expect the Diavel V4 to be pricier than the current Diavel while it will most likely come by next year with an expected starting price of upwards of Rs 21 lakh. (Photo: Somnath Chatterjee)
