Launch Control For Them Drag Meets
Let’s say you want to take part in events like the National Drag Racing Championship at the MMRT or the annual Valley Run with the Diavel 1260, Ducati has thrown in a tool just for that very purpose. There are three levels of power launch control, each more fearsome than the one before. The only way to end the madness is either you reach 120kmph and then slam on the brakes hard or you engage the third gear.
More Power To The Cruiser
Who would’ve thought Ducati wasn’t satisfied with the horsepower number that the 1,262cc L-twin DVT motor was putting out. For EU5/BS6, the Italians have extracted more performance, generating 162PS and 129Nm. That’s 3PS extra, which should be enough to balance out any loss of acceleration the Diavel 1260 BS6 would’ve suffered as a result of the extra 5kg heft (kerb weight now rated at 249kg).
