The limited-edition Ducati Diavel Titanium motorcycle, of which only 500 were produced, was created to satisfy the demands of those in search of an even more radical degree of customization and refinement. The mandate behind the Diavel Titanium is to create an exclusive bike enhanced with components and accessories made in sophisticated and innovative materials, with craftsmanship, technology, and exclusivity leading the way.
Stepping it up in 2021, Ducati and Lamborghini teamed up on the limited Diavel 1260 livery with more carbon, gold, and Lambo flair. This one is limited to 630 units.

The Diavel project was born when Ducati designers applied their wish-list of a bike’s “basic instincts” to a blank canvas. With a “what if?” approach to creating a dream bike, they sketched inspiring forms which became a low, long, sleek and aggressive motorcycle that was born to dominate the boulevard.
The Ducati Design team responsible for the project explains, “The challenge of building a muscular silhouette over a pure-bred competition motor had to be met with determination and a delicate touch, and the result is a frontal area that looks like a power athlete on the starting blocks…with the front wheel kept close to the Diavel’s body and using the short tail of a sport bike, we were able to blend this muscular design with a chassis that matched.”
