Ducati XDiavel

Ducati India has announced the prices for its first proper cruiser, Ducati XDiavel, however, the official launch is slated to be scheduled in September. The litre-class machine is going to be presented in two variants in which the standard one will be tagged at Rs. 15.56 lakh (EX-showroom, Mumbai) while the top-spec XDiavel S would be a bit extravagant i.e. INR 18.11 lakh (Ex-showroom, Mumbai).

The extra price of the premium latter version is due to a unique set of wheels, a bluetooth module, an infotainment system, and a more premium sitting couch. This variant, apart from the usual matte black finish on the standard unit, gets a glossy black paint scheme for a change.
