First Ride on the New Ducati Diavel V4!
🕑 Added 2024-08-14 14:48:54 +0000 UTCHey guys!
A lot of people have been asking how the new Diavel V4 feels compared to my 1260 so I wanted to do this first ride a little different and compare the two.
Basically I think it boils down to a few things for me. First is the styling. I personally think the styling on the 1260 just looks better overall. However, with an exhaust and a few plastic pieces replaced with carbon, the V4 does look a lot better.
Next would be the ride experience itself. There is no question the Diavel V4 has better overall performance. It's easier to ride, handles better and just has overall better performance across the board. BUT, in its current state it does lack a bit of character that you get from the twin Ducati's.
The exhaust might fix this issue so we will revisit it after we get the termi system installed. My overall conclusion is, if you have the money and you want the "BEST" Diavel the new V4 is the answer. If you want a Diavel and you want the rawness and character of an old school Ducati with the sexy looks save some money and find a used 1260.
Hope that helps and stay tuned for an epic build!

Congrats on achieving the level to be able to do multiple bikes, you’ve got the drive & the sky is the limit! The V4 needs more cowbell… make that… exhaust sound!

We are doing a custom built set of forged wheels for the Diavel V4 :)

Going to be a sick build. Would be interesting to see something like OZ mag wheels instead of carbon on this beast

Yes I loved the Xdiavel build but I honestly think this will be better if we are able to execute the design I have in my head so stay tuned!

Jaret Campisi
Yesss something I've been wanting to do for a very long time!

That’s a damn good looking & sounding machine! Excited for the next few months of your build series to see the transformation of the MV and the V4! I’ve been waiting for you to build another diavel since the Cali build! That thing was a monster!
James Riggins
You should get Teens and Pops and take all the Diavels out for a comparison.
