Diavel Concept
The Diavel project was born when Ducati designers applied their wish-list of bike 'basic instincts' to a blank canvas. With a 'what if?' approach to creating a dream bike, they sketched inspiring shapes which became a lower and longer motorcycle. 'The challenge of building a muscular silhouette over a pure-bred competition motor had to be met with determination and a delicate touch, and the result is a frontal area that looks like a power athlete on the starting blocks,” explains the team at Ducati Design responsible for the project. 'With the front wheel kept close to the Diavel's body and using the short tail of a sport bike, we were able to blend this muscular design with a chassis that matched.'
Inspired by AMG
Ducati has celebrated its partnership with AMG by producing the Diavel AMG Special Edition, inspired by the German maker's unmistakeable styling. Combining exclusivity with high performance, the Diavel AMG Special Edition is the perfect synthesis of two unequalled brands with a shared passion for exceptional achievement, unique design and conscientious attention to detail.
Diavel AMG design
The unmistakeable design of the Diavel Carbon is enhanced by refined AMG-inspired, branded sport features. The Diavel AMG Special Edition features: splendid forged 5-spoke wheels, carbon fibre air vents with aluminium trimming, an all-new sports exhaust and a seat with horizontally ribbed seat upholstered in Alcantara©. Frame, tank and passenger seat cover are in the AMG's Diamond White, contrasting assertively with the opaque black of the carbon fibre. Further underlining the model's exclusivity, each bike is numbered and will have a plate mounted on the engine carrying the signature of the worker who manually calibrated the Desmodromic system timing.
