Ducati Xdiavel
The Ducati Xdiavel has a top speed of 225 km/h, produces 156 hp and weighs 236 kg. Motoryk rates it 8/10.
Die Ducati XDiavel wurde 2016 als Ducatis erster echter Power-Cruiser vorgestellt und verbindet die Performance-DNA der Marke mit einer zurückhaltenden, aggressiven Cruiser-Haltung. Sie wurde 2016 mit dem renommierten Red Dot Design Award „Best of the Best“ ausgezeichnet und gilt damit als Designdenkmal. Das Modell stand für Ducatis mutigen Einstieg in den Cruiser-Markt im amerikanischen Stil. Später wurde es mit der XDiavel S aktualisiert und 2021 mit überarbeitetem Design und verbesserter Elektronik grundlegend überarbeitet.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
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.

Bewertung von gebrauchten Käufern
"The best power cruiser available, if your wallet survives ownership."
$12,000-$18,000 usedThe XDiavel is Ducati's most convincing attempt at a power cruiser, and honestly it mostly works. That 1262cc Testastretta engine is genuinely spectacular — torquey from idle, with a soundtrack that'll embarrass Harleys at every stoplight. The forward foot position actually suits the chassis better than you'd expect, and it corners far more keenly than the stretched silhouette suggests. For used buying, target 2019-onwards when Ducati ironed out early teething issues with the ride-by-wire mapping. Here's the honest part though: Ducati running costs will humble your wallet. Budget realistically for 9,000-mile valve checks — they're labor-intensive on this engine. Belts need replacing every 18 months regardless of mileage, which catches people out. Previous owners who skipped dealer servicing are your biggest risk; always verify service history obsessively. The seat comfort beyond two hours is genuinely poor despite looking like a lounge chair. Buy one in decent nick and you've got something genuinely special — a cruiser that actually rides rather than just poses.
