Explaining the design is an easy task on the Thiverval as every curve of the xDiavel was forced to leave and that resulted into a body that seems inline like a streamlined jet. However, the thickness makes it look more like the bikes from 90s as sharp word would not suit its overall personality.
A single panel connects the two ends of this motorcycle, that too resulting in a unique tail end that supports twin under-seat exhaust outlets and a squarish brake light. Cafe racer appeal was never left behind as the seat now support a single rider.
The rear foot-pegs and extra parts from the motorcycle were removed in order to make it feel much more practical than ever. Ducati xDiavel is powered by a 1262 cc, twin cylinder engine producing 156 HP at 9500 rpm and 128.9 Nm at 5000 rpm.
The engine comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox. This typical motorcycle gets a custom exhaust while standard motorcycle while standard motorcycle has a huge under-seat unit with twin outlets on the right side. Ducati’s unique headlight design of the xDiavel remains the same on Thiverval.
