Positioned in Ducati's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2023 Ducati Diavel V4 utilizes a 1158 cc (70.7 cu in) liquid-cooled v4, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 168 HP (122.6 kW) at 10,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 126 Nm (92.9 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 145.1 HP per liter and a 3,250 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (10,750 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Diavel V4 measures 236 kg (520 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.71 HP/kg (1.4 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,593 mm (62.7 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6.4 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 313 km (194 miles) between fill-ups.
