• Special black and yellow livery with some titanium
• Bookings open ahead of the bike reaching dealerships

Ducati India will soon launch a new colour of the Diavel V4 power cruiser in India. Called the Black Roadster, this is a stunning combination of yellow stripes on black bodywork, along with slashes of titanium on some of its components. It also boasts a different seat cover. The Italian marque has announced through its social media handles that this livery of the motorcycle is coming soon, but bookings are already open.

The mechanical details of the Diavel V4 Black Roadster are the same as the two existing colour variants of the bike. It is powered by a 1,158cc, liquid-cooled, V4 engine that makes a staggering 168bhp at 10,750rpm and 126Nm at 7,500rpm. It is paired with a six-speed gearbox and gets a bi-directional quick shifter.

Underpinning this behemoth is a monocoque chassis that’s suspended by a USD fork and a monoshock, both of which are adjustable. The bike rides on alloy wheels shod with 120/70 front and 240/45 ZR17 rear tyre. Braking duties are taken care of by 330mm, twin front discs and a 265mm disc at the rear. In terms of features, the Diavel V4 gets all-LED lights, multi-level ride modes, traction control, launch control, and more. It receives a TFT with Bluetooth connectivity as well.

The Black Roadster is expected to be slightly more expensive than the existing colours of the Diavel 4 including Ducati Red and Thrilling Black, which cost Rs. 29.66 lakh and Rs. 29.38 lakh, respectively.
