Ducati Diavel V4 RS Debuts as Limited-Edition Power Cruiser With Titanium & Carbon Fibre Parts

Ducati has unveiled the Diavel V4 RS, a limited-edition version of its performance cruiser that draws on the brand’s MotoGP expertise. Touted as the fastest-accelerating production cruiser Ducati has built, the RS variant features lightweight carbon fibre components on the fuel tank, mudguards, air intakes and tail section, alongside a numbered plate that reinforces its exclusivity. The use of these materials helps reduce weight by around 3 kg compared to the standard model.

The motorcycle is built on an aluminium monocoque frame, paired with a single-sided swingarm and forged aluminium wheels to enhance stability and agility. Positioned at the top of the Diavel range, the RS combines superbike-level output with everyday usability, aimed at riders seeking performance without sacrificing comfort. Ducati has confirmed that deliveries will commence in Europe from December 2025, with global markets following thereafter.

Ducati Diavel V4 RS: Engine and Performance

At its heart sits the 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine, shared with the Panigale V4 superbike. It produces 180bhp and 121Nm of torque, significantly more than the standard Diavel V4. Features such as a counter-rotating crankshaft, Twin Pulse firing order and a dry clutch with quick-shift six-speed gearbox enhance performance and rider involvement. Ducati claims the bike accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in just 2.5 seconds.

The Diavel V4 RS includes Ducati’s latest rider aids governed by a Bosch IMU. Cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control and launch control all come as standard. There are four riding modes. Sport, Touring, Urban and a new Race mode, letting riders adjust behaviour to different environments. A Ducati Power Launch system further boosts acceleration, while a 5-inch TFT display with unique RS graphics provides ride information.
