2022 Ducati Diavel 1260 S – “Black & Steel” Edition
The Ultimate Fusion of Maxi-Naked Performance & Muscle Cruiser Attitude
Turn heads and dominate the tarmac. The 2022 Ducati Diavel 1260 S “Black & Steel” isn’t just a motorcycle; it’s a bold statement of power, aggression, and avant-garde design. Inspired by the exclusive “Materico” concept from Milan Design Week, this limited edition commands attention with its refined, asymmetrical graphics—masterfully pairing glossy grey and matte black with striking, sporty yellow accents on the trellis frame, seat badge, and tail.
With its long, slender rear silhouette and muscular lines, it delivers the pure performance of a maxi-naked bike combined with the comfortable ergonomics of a premier muscle cruiser.
