Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an experienced rider who is comfortable with strong power delivery and a fat rear tyre that demands deliberate, confident inputs.
PurposeIt's built for power-cruiser thrills, blending muscular straight-line acceleration and aggressive styling with surprisingly capable cornering for its class.
Rider FitThe low seat height and relaxed cruiser-like ergonomics make it accessible for shorter riders, though the wide rear tyre and substantial wet weight require some muscle at low speed and in tight maneuvers.
CharacterThe Diavel has a bold, muscular, and unapologetically performance-oriented character, mixing Ducati superbike DNA with cruiser attitude.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good fit for riders seeking a lightweight commuter, an off-road capable machine, or a budget-friendly first bike.

2014 Ducati Diavel Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 770mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Ducati Diavel, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
