Design

• UNMISTAKABLE DESIGN. UNIQUE PERSONALITY.: Muscular, gritty, with its broad "shoulders" and proudly visible four-exit exhaust, Diavel V4 is designed to convey boldness and not go unnoticed. Starting with the front and rear light cluster, the retractable passenger footpegs and the retractable rear grab bar are the details that make the difference and make the design of this bike even more unique and unmistakable.
• MUSCOLAR LINES: The front view also replicates the proportions of a lean and athletic physique, with broad shoulders giving way to a slim and tapered waistline with the classic sporty V-shaped tip. The air intakes, an element of rupture in side view, communicate the power of the V4 Granturismo, amplifying the scenic effect of its presence in front view.
• FRONT LIGHTS – DOUBLE-C DRL: At the front, the LED daytime running light is shaped like a double C, while the dynamic direction indicators are integrated into the handlebar, in front of the brake and clutch controls, making the front view cleaner.
• REAR LIGHTS: The rear light cluster consists of a matrix of punctiform LEDs positioned under the tail. Like the DRLs at the front, it has an optical signature that reinterprets the double-C configuration.
• RETRACTABLE HANDLE AND PASSENGER FOOTRESTS: To maintain maximum cleanliness in the single-seater configuration but at the same time offer the possibility of accommodating a passenger, the folding footrests return, and the retractable rear handle remains, two solutions capable of perfectly synthesizing style and practicality.
• PASSENGER SEAT COVER: The passenger seat cover is supplied as standard and easily removable, making it possible to transform the Diavel V4 from a two-seater to a single-seater with just a few gestures.
• THE MUSCLE ROADSTER FOR THOSE WHO DON'T WANT TO GO UNNOTICED: Diavel V4 draws inspiration from muscle cars, from the aesthetics of superheroes, and reproduces the images of an athlete ready to sprint to the starting blocks. The riding position visually conveys a feeling of control and self-confidence and plays a central role in the bike's image.

Electronic Riding Assistance Systems

• ABS CORNERING: Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Cornering functionality acts as a function of lean angle, using data from the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), to increase safety when braking in corners.
• CRUISE CONTROL: Electronic system introduced by Ducati for the first time in 2014 on the Multistrada 1200 that allows you to automatically maintain the speed set by the rider without twisting the throttle.
• DUCATI BRAKE LIGHT (DBL): In the event of sudden braking, automatically activates the flashing of the rear light to alert the following vehicles, a solution that further improves rider’s safety.
• DUCATI MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM (DMS): Infotainment system for connecting the smartphone to the bike via Bluetooth, to allow the rider to manage the main multimedia functions of the mobile phone.
• DUCATI POWER LAUNCH (DPL): System that guarantees lightning-fast starts allowing the rider to concentrate only on managing the clutch release.
• DUCATI QUICK SHIFTER (DQS): Electronic system derived from racing that allows you to change gears without using the clutch and without closing the throttle when shifting to a higher gear.
• DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT (DRL): These are the daytime running lights that are used to comply with the obligation to use dipped headlights during the day.
• DUCATI TRACTION CONTROL (DTC): System that detects rear wheel slippage and automatically cuts power to limit or zero it, depending on the settings chosen by the user.
• DUCATI WHEELIE CONTROL (DWC): System that controls the wheelie and allows you to achieve maximum acceleration performance with ease and safety.
• EXTENDED CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (ECD): Shutting off the rear cylinders at idle when the bike is stationary, and the deactivation strategy extends to the entire rear bank even at low speeds, when the engine speed and torque demand from the accelerator are low.
• RIDE-BY-WIRE SYSTEM: Also known as electronic accelerator, it is a system that electronically manages the opening and closing of the throttle (s).

Electronics

• STATE-OF-THE-ART ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT: The latest generation electronic package of the Diavel V4 is based on the use of a 6-axis inertial platform (6D IMU - Inertial Measurement Unit) capable of instantly detecting the roll, yaw and pitch angle of the motorcycle.
• CRUISE CONTROL: Cruise Control makes highway transfers more relaxed.
• ABS CORNERING: The ABS system of the Diavel V4 includes the "cornering" function, which extends the ABS intervention even when the bike is leaning. The ABS Cornering appropriately uses the signals of the Bosch IMU inertial platform to optimally dose the braking power of the front and rear wheels even in critical situations and with the bike at an angle. By interacting with the Riding Modes, the system is able to offer solutions suitable for every situation and riding condition as well as rider preference. The system acts with three different levels of intervention. Level 1 offers maximum performance for sporty riding, does not have the Cornering function, the rear lift detection (lift-up) activated and allows the rear to yaw when braking with ABS applied to the front only. Level 2 ensures a balance between front and rear without rear wheel lift detection but with Cornering functionality active and calibrated for sporty riding. Level 3 allows the optimization of the braking action with detection of rear wheel lift and the Cornering function activated and calibrated for maximum safety (safe & stable configuration).
• DUCATI WHEELIE CONTROL (DWC) EVO: The Diavel V4 is also equipped with the latest version of Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO, adjustable on 4 levels. This system, using information from the Bosch 6D IMU, controls wheelie and allows for maximum acceleration performance with ease and safety. The DWC EVO more accurately detects the presence and extent of wheelies and intervenes to control them with a greater level of precision, to satisfy the rider's requests even more accurately.
• RIDING MODE: The operating parameters of each control are associated by default with the four Riding Modes with which the Diavel V4 is equipped: Sport, Touring, Urban and the Wet mode, designed specifically for low-grip surfaces. Sport Riding Mode: The intervention of Ducati Traction Control and Ducati Wheelie Control is reduced to a minimum and the ABS is set to level 2 which allows controlled lifting of the rear wheel to maximize braking performance, while maintaining Cornering functionality. It is the ideal choice for experienced riders who want to enjoy the maximum performance of the Diavel V4.Touring Riding Mode: The ABS is set to level 3, the safest and most prudent one thanks to the limitation of rear wheel lift, the optimization of combined braking and the active Cornering function. Urban Riding Mode: DTC and DWC move to a very high level of intervention. The ABS is set to level 3. Wet Riding Mode: The RM limits maximum power to 115 hp with a particularly gentle throttle response (Low Power Mode) and the default level of electronic controls is set to offer maximum stability ensuring better grip and steadiness.
• DUCATI QUICK SHIFT UP/DOWN (DQS) EVO 2: The DQS EVO 2 with up / down function, developed for the Panigale V4, makes use of the information on the lean angle to maximize the stability of the bike during the shifting phase when cornering. The DQS EVO 2, in addition to minimizing shift times, allows you to downshift without using the clutch, ensuring even more effective braking. The system includes a bi-directional microswitch integrated in the kinematics of the lever which, at each gearshift operation, sends a signal to the control unit of the V4 Granturismo. The system acts separately for shifting and downshifting, integrating the action on ignition advance and injection, already present on the up-shift system, with the controlled opening of the throttle valve for down-shift operation thanks to the full Ride by Wire system management.
• DUCATI TRACTION CONTROL (DTC) EVO 2: The ABS is set to level 3, the safest and most prudent one thanks to the limitation of rear wheel lift, the optimization of combined braking and the active Cornering function. The Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO 2 strategy derives from the Ducati Desmosedici GP18 and is already used on the Panigale V4 and Streetfighter V4 families. In addition to interfacing with the 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and adapting the intervention and slide to the lean angle of the bike, the software significantly improves power management out of corners thanks to the "predictive” control strategy. Acting not only on the instantaneous value of the rear spin, but also on its variation, it intercepts the loss of grip more quickly and reduces slippage peaks, thus ensuring a quicker and more regular intervention. All this translates into greater vehicle stability when exiting corners, even in less-than-optimal grip conditions, greater acceleration and improved performance. Furthermore, the DTC EVO 2, in addition to management of the ignition and injection advance, provides for the intervention of the valves of the throttle bodies when a rapid intervention of the control is not necessary, allowing to maintain optimal combustion parameters and obtain smoother engine response and intervention. The DTC EVO 2 can be set on 4 different levels (3 in dry conditions and 1 in wet conditions), allowing the rider to adapt the control strategy to his or her riding style and grip conditions, obtaining maximum performance.
• DUCATI POWER LAUNCH (DPL) EVO: This system, adjustable on three levels, is able to guarantee lightning-fast starts, allowing the rider to concentrate only on the management of the clutch release, allowing the "Dragster" soul of the Diavel V4 to express itself fully. Once set, it will be sufficient to engage first gear and open the throttle: the DPL during the first phase of the start, while the driver modulates the clutch release, will keep the V4 Granturismo stable around an optimal speed according to the selected DPL level; in the second phase, when the clutch is fully released, the DPL will control the torque delivered to ensure the maximum possible acceleration based on the predefined level.
• DUCATI MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM: The rider can manage all the electronic systems through backlit controls on the handlebars and the 5-inch color TFT dashboard, which also offers Bluetooth connectivity to pair your smartphone and use it for calls, text messages and music.
