Ducati India has launched the new Ducati Diavel V4 Black Roadster in India priced at Rs 29.98 lakh (ex-showroom). First launched globally in December 2024, the new variant is priced around Rs 32,000 more than the standard Diavel V4. Interested buyers can book a motorcycle online or by visiting the nearest dealership. Deliveries are expected to begin in the coming weeks.The Black Roadster stands out with an exclusive paint finish created by Ducati’s Centro Stile. It features a black base color complemented by Racing Yellow accents on the fuel tank, radiator caps, side panels, tail and redesigned rear seat cover. Titanium-finished elements have also been added, while the bike continues to use the same five-spoke aluminum rims.Apart from these cosmetic changes, the bike remains unchanged. It retained the Diavel V4’s muscular design, low stance and wide rear profile. The new edition joins the existing all-black and Ducati red paint options. The bike is built around premium chassis components, including fully adjustable suspension, a single-sided swingarm and high-performance Brembo Stylema calipers that bite the big 330mm front discs.In terms of features, the bike has multiple riding and power modes, cornering ABS, traction and wheel control, cruise control and a two-way quickshifter. It also gets a 6.9-inch TFT display and a full LED setup at both ends, with the distinctive C-shaped daytime running light signature, along with a “Welcome” animation. The system also includes integrated dynamic indicators and a return-to-home light function.Power comes from the same 1,158 cc V4 Granturismo engine, which develops 168 hp at 10,750 rpm and 126 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. The engine is paired with a six-speed gearbox, with no mechanical changes compared to the standard model. This engine is designed with a reverse-rotating crankshaft and an active cylinder cut-off system, which are intended to improve smoothness and fuel efficiency. It also gets three selectable power settings and four riding modes: Sport, Touring, Urban and Wet. Ducati says this setup ensures plenty of torque at lower revs while keeping the engine easy to handle in stop-and-go city traffic. The engine also switches to traditional spring-loaded valves, significantly extending valve inspection intervals to 60,000km rather than requiring checks at every replacement service.
