Released in, redesigned in 2014 (), the Diavel brilliantly embodies the "Power Cruiser" genre … and more! An exciting but demanding positioning, led to evolve towards a more docile compromise in 2016 according to stolen photos of the future model.

New frame, new look, new ergonomics

On these pictures unearthed by our British colleagues, this probable Diavel 2016 displays a redesigned tubular frame and a modified line.
