2017 Ducati Diavel Diesel
A limited-edition collaboration between Ducati and the jeans, clothing and accessories companyDucati and Diesel clothing have unveiled the Ducati Diavel Diesel in Milan, which will have a limited run of just 666 bikes and is the "fruit of collaboration" between Andrea Rosso, Creative Director of Diesel Licences, and the Ducati Design Center.
It will go on sale to the public, worldwide, starting from April 2017.
The Diavel Diesel is characterised by hand-brushed stainless steel with visible welding and rivets, and other distinguishing features include the lateral air intake covers, made of red methacrylate with the Diesel logo on the inside.
The exhaust system has pipes with black Zircotec ceramic coating, as well as black silencers.
Other features include:
- Red LCD dashboard
- Exclusive design leather saddle with DDD pyramid
- Numbered plate on frame
- Matte black front mudguard with DDD pyramid
- Rear-view mirrors with stem and cup machined from solid
- Red Brembo front brake callipers
- Chain with five red links
- Bike cover and rear stand supplied standard
Power is from the 162hp Testastretta 11° DS engine combined with the Ducati Safety Pack (anti-lock braking and traction control).
“The collaboration with Diesel enabled us to explore original stylistic and technical aspects whilst staying within the Ducati brand and fully respecting its values,” said Ducati Motor Holding CEO Claudio Domenicali. “In this case we worked with Diesel on an already uniquely original bike like the Diavel and the result was surprising to put it mildly.
"The details characterizing the Diavel Diesel cannot fail to captivate connoisseurs of special bikes but also people from different walks of life, such as fashion. It’s always stimulating for us to move outside the world of motorcycling and widen our brand’s areas of interest”.
“It’s an important bike that reflects the rock side of Diesel’s DNA,” said Rosso. “The wording ‘Never look back’ engraved with the two logos captures the essence of this collaboration: a timeless bike that catches the eye with so many unmistakable details, such as the brushed stainless steel with visible welding and rivets. Ducati, Diavel and Diesel, three words, six letters each, forming 666, the limited number of examples of this new collaboration."
Diesel built up quite a reputation in motorcycle racing in the early 1990s when it sponsored the Superbike World Championship.
