The 2018 Ducati XDiavel S will be showcased this week globally adorning the new paint scheme; India launch expected some time later
Ducati has recently introduced a fresh colour to its famed power cruiser, the XDiavel S. Besides the new paint scheme, the 2018 XDiavel S also gets an updated suspension system. The company claims that the new setup will offer an enhanced comfort to both, the rider and the pillion. The motorcycle in its new avatar will be displayed publically at the Faaker See Rally that will take place in Austria this week.
For those not in the know, the Ducati XDiavel S was launched in India last September. Besides this, the company also entered the XDiavel and both these motorcycles are huge improvements over the base Diavel. The company invested a huge capital while designing the XDiavel and the result is an one-of-a-kind radical power cruiser with design.
