presentation of the DIAVEL CARBON 1200 2015
with the Diavel, Ducati has entered an unknown category: the roadster-power-cruiser. And this charismatic, overpowering, fun-to-drive creation is a real success. The Diavel is visually and dynamically impressive. The standard version boasts a Superbike-derived twin with 162 hp, 240 mm rear gumshoe, huge 50 mm inverted fork, multiple electronic kickstands and a face that would calm the most rabid rottweiler. That may not be enough for some, and for them the 1200 Diavel Carbon exists.
to justify its name, the machine is equipped with carbon fiber parts: the front fender, tank and seat cover. Ducati enhances the dynamism of the Diavel by saving weight on two strategic elements: the rims. The superb forged aluminum Marchesini wheels save 2.5 kilos. Another highlight is the surface treatment that allows the aluminum to sparkle within the black rim.
more elaborate color schemes reinforce the premium feel. Of course, the Carbon benefits from all the improvements of the Diavel Phase II: new bevelled exhausts, redesigned headlamp with diurnal LED half-ring, improved saddle, raised handlebarsthe Diavel Diavel phase II features new bevelled exhausts, redesigned headlights encircled by a half-ring of daytime running LEDs, an upgraded saddle, raised handlebars, dual ignition for each bowl of the Testastretta 11° block and a little more torque, minor touch-ups on certain parts (sides, headlight cover....) and even more plumb.

Rating : 5/5 Respond to petit loup
I've been riding it for 4 months and 5,000 kms, at full throttle with its 162hp and 13.5 mkg, and I can tell you that it really kicks ass!
on very strong accelerations, between the pulling power and the sound, you get the impression that hell is chasing you right behind and that it's taking everything in its path !!!!
it's still easy to drive, but requires experience and composure in view of its performance
