The throttle is light, the clutch is forgiving and the bike accelerates clean and smooth with a little if any pleasant vibes felt through the bars up to the 10, 000rpm limiter, taking you to triple digit speeds without a fuss. Hard cornering isn’t one of this bike’s fortes but the Duc remains composed and predictable on long sweeping bends.
Riding the Diavel, you’ll want to keep to the highways as much as you can. It’s a place where the Ducati feels more at home. In a straight line it’s linear and strong from low revs. Sure, the city is fun if you’re seeking attention. And boy, do you get a lot of it. This Ducati isn’t at all hard to manoeuvre around tight spots in town, too. But you don’t want to be stuck in peak hour city traffic. Especially in a city like Delhi.
