The Diavel’s rear view is perhaps its most striking. The massive exhaust pipes and tire make for an imposing impression.
That steamroller tire is proudly on display thanks to a single-sided swingarm and a truncated tailsection that incorporates a faired-in taillight and clear-lens LED turnsignal strips. A stylish steel-trellis license plate bracket extends from the swingarm, further cleaning up the rear view.
Further adding to the Diavel's high-end appeal are the presence of aluminum body panels rather than cheap plastic. The fuel tank covers and the tailsection are fabricated from the lightweight metal.
Pillion accommodations are cleverly unobtrusive – footpegs fold down from the tailsection on thin brackets, while a grab handle slides out from its stowed area above the taillight.
So, although we don’t really yet know how the Diavel will ride, we have some positive first impressions. It has a captivating presence in person, and despite its cruiser leanings, it looks every inch like a Ducati with its red trellis frame and sport-spec suspension and brakes. There is literally nothing quite like it.
And consider the Porsche Cayenne SUV, which was roundly scoffed at by sports-car purists. It went on to become the brand’s best seller, providing an outlet for those who desired a 911 but couldn’t reconcile buying one because of family or comfort concerns.
