General Information on the 2016 Ducati XDiavel S

The engine has a high redline (10,000 rpm) compared to less-performance oriented or older Ducati twins, allowing it to maintain a high amount of horsepower with a claimed peak of 156 at 9,500 rpm. The wide and fat torque curve reaches its claimed peak way low with 95.0 pound-feet at 5,000 rpm. It has nearly peak torque from about 4,000 rpm to 8,000.

The XDiavel is 1.36-inches longer, with a 63.6-inch wheelbase. Rake is 30-degrees compared to the 28-degrees of the Diavel, but trail is at the same huge 5.1. Because more rake results in more trail, the offset was increased by 0.23 in. to bring the trail numbers back down. The fork is a Marzocchi with 50mm stanchions, with a light spring inside the right leg and a stiffer spring in the left leg.
