Ducati India has launched the new Ducati Diavel V4 Black Roadster in India at a price of Rs 29.98 lakh (ex-showroom). First unveiled globally in December 2024, the new model is priced around Rs 32,000 more than the standard Diavel V4.
Interested customers can book the motorcycle online or by visiting their nearest dealer. Deliveries are expected to begin in the coming weeks.The Black Roadster features an exclusive paint finish created by Ducati’s Centro Stile. It features a black base color complemented by yellow accents on the fuel tank, radiator caps, side panels, tail section and redesigned rear seat cover. Titanium-coated elements have also been added, while the motorcycle continues to use the same five-spoke alloy wheels.Apart from these cosmetic changes, the motorcycle remains unchanged. It retains the Diavel V4’s powerful design, low stance and wide rear profile. The new edition joins the existing black and Ducati Red color options. The motorcycle is built around premium chassis components, including fully adjustable suspension, a single-sided swingarm and high-performance Brembo Stylema calipers that rest on large 330mm front discs.
In terms of features, the bike has multiple ride and power modes, cornering ABS, wheelie traction control, cruise control, and a dual-mode quick shifter. It also gets a 6.9-inch TFT display and all-LED setup at both ends, and features a distinctive dual C-shaped daytime running light signature along with a ‘welcome’ animation. The system also includes integrated dynamic indicators and a return-to-home lighting function.Power comes from the same 1,158 cc V4 Gran Turismo engine, which generates 168 hp at 10,750 rpm and 126 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. The engine is coupled to a six-speed gearbox, without any mechanical changes compared to the standard model. This engine is designed with a counter-rotating crankshaft and an active cylinder cut-off system, both intended to enhance smoothness and fuel efficiency. It also gets three selectable power settings and four riding modes: Sport, Touring, Urban, Wet.
Ducati says this setup ensures ample torque at lower revs while keeping the bike manageable in stop-and-go city traffic. The engine also switches to conventional spring-actuated valves, significantly extending valve check intervals to 60,000km rather than requiring checks at every replacement service.
