XDiavel and Scrambler: second – episode of the – 2021 Ducati series
After the unprecedented Multistrada V4, Ducati’s web series unveils new versions of the XDiavel and Scrambler 800: Dark and Black Star versions for the Italian cruiser (which wins the Euro5 mention, but also 5 hp and 2 Nm), Nightshift version and two colors for the small roadster (Euro5 and still A2 compatible).
An XDiavel with the Panigale V4 inside? You don’t think about it … Or you can still dream, since Ducati decided to keep the "V2" Testastretta DVT 1262 in its cruiser. A logical choice given the program of this bike, but which required a small update.
In order to meet new emission standards – and noise reduction, really? – which come into force in 2021, the Bologna engine manufacturers have indeed had to recalibrate the mapping of their "very big twin" and reconfigure the exhaust.
