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.

Le Ducati XDiavel a été présenté en 2016 en tant que premier véritable power cruiser de Ducati, alliant l'ADN de performance de la marque à une posture de voiture basse et agressive. Il a remporté le prestigieux prix Red Dot Design Award « Best of the Best » en 2016, ce qui en fait une référence en matière de design. Ce modèle a marqué l'entrée audacieuse de Ducati sur le marché des croiseurs de style américain, puis mis à jour avec le XDiavel S et un rafraîchissement significatif en 2021 avec un style révisé et une électronique améliorée.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir

⚙️

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.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion

8.0/10
Idéal pour
Sport riders wanting a legitimate cruiser alternative

"The best power cruiser available, if your wallet survives ownership."

$12,000-$18,000 used

The 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.
