Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to an experienced rider who wants strong V4-derived V-twin power delivered through a low, cruiser-style riding position.
PurposeDesigned as a power cruiser that blends Ducati performance with relaxed, feet-forward cruising comfort.
Rider FitThe very low seat height and forward foot controls make it accessible for shorter riders, though the wide fat rear tire adds some low-speed steering weight.
CharacterA charismatic, muscular cruiser with a torquey desmodromic V2 engine, belt drive smoothness, and a distinctive low-slung silhouette.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking a nimble trackday bike, an off-road machine, or an upright long-haul touring platform with wind protection.

2017 Ducati Xdiavel Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 755mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Ducati Xdiavel, 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.
