When development of the Diavel began, it was set to be a “Mega-Monster, a blend of sport-naked and sportbike” per Ducati Product Manager Stefano Tarabusi. As the bike developed, a cruiser form appeared and what resulted was a uniquely styled, category-defying machine housing a 1198cc L-twin Testastretta engine with serious juice.
These changes were well received yet only three years later Ducati gave the Diavel a complete redesign for 2019. Although the same 1262cc DVT (Desmodromic value timing) V-twin returns, the frame, subframe, suspension, wheels, swingarm, fuel tank, silencers, engine covers, tail section, and bodywork were all new. Combined with the foot pegs moving back, the rake tightened, and the wheelbase lengthened, gave the 157hp ‘Devil’ a more streamlined yet brawny look.
Also in 2019, Ducati released a concept of the 1260 S called the Materico – three years later they debuted a production version that they called the “Black and Steel”, which was a slightly confusing name as the main changes were a yellow frame, yellow undertail, and yellow stripes.
