Ducati Unveils New XDiavel & Ducati Scrambler Versions For 2021

For 2021, Ducati renews the XDiavel range by introducing two new versions: XDiavel Dark and XDiavel Black Star. On the XDiavel Dark,  the total black livery has also been extended to the mechanical components, plates, and finishes, enhancing the Ducati “Reduce to the Max” design principle. Similarly, the new XDiavel Black Star version shows enthusiasts the sporty side of the Ducati cruiser, with a livery and equipment inspired by the world of sports cars. The dedicated livery alternates grey and matt black with inevitable touches of red.On both new versions and on the entire 2021 range, the twin-cylinder Ducati Testastretta DVT 1262 becomes Euro 5 compliant in all countries that adopt the standard. To comply with the new European emissions standard, an updated silencer layout, a new design, derived from the Diavel 1260, and a new engine calibration have been adopted. In this way, the XDiavel now delivers a maximum power of 160 hp at 9,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 124.4 Nm at 5,000 rpm with an increase, compared to the Euro 4 version, of 8 hp and 1.9 Nm.The Ducati Scrambler 800 range is expanded with the arrival of the new Ducati Scrambler Nightshift model, the introduction of a new Desert Sled version with "Sparking Blue" livery and even more off-road details, and finally a new colour scheme for the Icon model.Ducati says the Ducati Scrambler Nightshift is inspired by the metropolitan world. This model, with classic lines and dark colours is characterized by a straight and narrow handlebar with café racer mirrors. The bike is also equipped with a new flat two-seat saddle, comfortable for both rider and passenger.The Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled changes its look with the adoption of the new "Sparking Blue" livery, enriched with red and white details on the fuel tank and mudguards and gold rims, a tribute to the Enduro bikes of the ‘80s. The new anti-slip lining for the seat, together with the 200mm fork travel and headlight mesh guard as standard underline its true off-road character.
