New Ducati Diavel packs 162hp, weighs just 205kg

Italian manufacturer Ducati has presented the latest version of its Diavel ('devil' in the Bolognese dialect), equipped with a new and improved engine and a revamped design. The bike has begun rolling into dealerships, with prices starting at $17,995.

The 2015 Ducati Diavel is designed to be more comfortable than its predecessor, namely thanks to its lower and more elongated center of gravity.

In addition, the Italian brand has boosted the bike's power-to-weight ratio. Weighing just 205kg, the new Diavel has a Testastretta 11° Dual Spark (DS) engine with 162hp.

The Diavel is available now in two versions: $17,995 for the standard matte black model and $20,995 for the red and matte carbon one.
