MY27 - XDiavel V4 Black Edition

• Two years after the introduction of the V4, the XDiavel returns to its traditional black livery with a striking new look
• The Black Edition will join the Burning Red livery in the 2027 XDiavel V4 range

Milan, November 2, 2026 – In the history of the XDiavel, black is much more than a colour. It is an integral part of the XDiavel's DNA. Since the very first model, black has always been a defining element of Ducati's Sport Cruiser, thanks to its ability to express the perfect balance of power, elegance and sophistication. Defined by its commanding presence, the new XDiavel V4 Black Edition represents the boldest, most muscular and imposing expression of the Borgo Panigale manufacturer.

Every surface, every component and every detail is finished in Total Black, enhancing the sculpted shapes, muscular proportions and unmistakable XDiavel silhouette. The result is a visual presence that amplifies both the performance-oriented nature and the elegance of the XDiavel.

The XDiavel V4 is designed for enthusiasts seeking a motorcycle with unmistakable style, who love the cruiser world with its low and relaxed riding position, while also being captivated by the dragster-like performance that has always characterised the XDiavel. A motorcycle capable of breathtaking acceleration and deceleration with ease and confidence. The 168 hp V4 Granturismo engine, combined with the 240/45 rear tyre and dedicated gearing, enables acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in under 3 seconds, delivering truly impressive thrust.

Thanks to the MotoGP-derived V4 Granturismo engine, featuring unique solutions such as the counter-rotating crankshaft, the new XDiavel surprises: with 168 hp and 12.8 kgm of torque, it combines smooth low-rpm response with strong torque throughout the rev range. With a kerb weight of 229 kg, sophisticated components such as the monocoque frame, fully adjustable suspension and braking system featuring Brembo Stylema® calipers on 330 mm discs, the XDiavel V4 delivers agility and dynamic performance rarely found in a Sport Cruiser, translating into riding pleasure and confidence in every situation.

Comfort improves significantly thanks to the rear suspension, offering 25 mm more travel than the XDiavel 1260 and, above all, a wider, better-shaped and thicker seat. The passenger also benefits from a roomier seat (+30% wider, +50% longer), greater comfort (+25 mm thickness) and a rear grab handle supplied as standard.

The rider can fully exploit the XDiavel V4's performance thanks to a comprehensive and effective electronics package, including Cornering Ducati Traction Control (DTC), Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC), Cornering ABS, Launch Control and Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) 2.0. All systems are easily managed through the backlit handlebar controls and the new 6.9-inch colour TFT dashboard with an 8:3 aspect ratio, which also offers Bluetooth smartphone connectivity for calls, messages and music, and supports the Turn-by-Turn navigation system (available as an accessory) through the Ducati Link App.

The Ducati Performance catalogue offers a wide range of accessories to personalise the XDiavel V4, starting with the central footpeg repositioning kit, raised and lowered seats, and extending to the 48-litre semi-rigid side cases with body-colour covers, including a passenger backrest and integrated side handles. The range is completed by the homologated exhaust silencer with titanium cover and four titanium end caps, as well as a single-seat tail section that replaces the passenger seat. Billet aluminium components, carbon-fibre parts, forged wheels and red or black brake calipers are also available to further customise the new XDiavel V4.

The XDiavel V4 Black Edition will arrive in European dealerships in February 2027 and subsequently in other markets worldwide. It will join the Burning Red livery, which remains available within the 2027 range.
