Ducati Xdiavel
The Ducati XDiavel was introduced in 2016 as Ducati's first true power cruiser, blending the brand's performance DNA with a low-slung, aggressive cruiser stance. It won the prestigious 'Best of the Best' Red Dot Design Award in 2016, marking it as a design landmark. The model represented Ducati's bold entry into the American-style cruiser market, later updated with the XDiavel S and a significant refresh in 2021 featuring revised styling and improved electronics.

What Buyers Should Know
Desmo Service Costs
The Testastretta DVT engine requires desmodromic valve service every 15,000 miles, which can cost $600–$1,200 at a dealer. Budget for this when calculating long-term ownership costs.
Strong Resale Value
The XDiavel holds its value better than many cruisers due to its niche appeal and Ducati brand cachet. First-generation models (2016–2018) have stabilized in price, making them a relatively safe used buy.
Watch the Clutch
Early XDiavel models have reported wet clutch slipping issues, particularly under aggressive acceleration. Check service history for clutch replacements or updates before purchasing a pre-2019 example.
