2019 Ducati Diavel 1260 S To Be ‘Most Advanced Super-Cruiser’ In The World

We recently stumbled upon the spy images of the next-gen Ducati Diavel during its test runs. The new 2019 Ducati Diavel will receive the new 1262 cc L-Twin motor that is currently seen on the XDiavel and the new Multistrada 1260. Now, thanks to the folks at Motorcycle News, we’ve got even finer details about the next-generation Italian power cruiser.

For starters, the motorcycle will arrive in two variants. The standard variant will receive relatively lower spec hardware and fewer electronics compared to the more premium S badged version.

The engine on the new 2019 Ducati Diavel 1260 will be tuned to deliver over 150 bhp of power and, not to forget, a well-spread torque curve. The source report suggests that the new 2019 Diavel 1260 S (premium variant) will be the ‘most advanced super-cruiser’ in the world with a comprehensive electronic package.

Codenamed Project 1309, the next-gen Diavel uses a retuned version of the XDiavel’s Testastretta DVT V-Twin motor, which is also used as a stressed member in the frame. Suspension duties on the Diavel 1260 S will be performed by fully-adjustable Öhlins suspensions. But the most advanced upgrade is the Panigale-spec Brembo Monoblock brake setup which should take the stopping power to a whole new level for the power cruiser.

Ducati’s Project Manager Eugenio Gherardi told the motoring portal, “The whole idea is to move the bike away from the values of the XDiavel and to make the machine sportier. So the suspension is much better quality and the rake is steeper, going from 28 to 27 degrees. The frame is all-new and though the wheelbase is 15mm longer (1600mm), the bike is a lot more nimble

Speaking about the comprehensive electronics package, Gherardi further added, “The bike has a six-axis IMU. So it has traction control, launch control, anti-wheel and cornering ABS. It also has an up and down quickshifter. The dash also has a Bluetooth facility to sync with your phone and devices to manage calls and music.

The motorcycles, standard and S, should arrive at this year’s EICMA motorcycle show where we’ll learn more details about the next-gen power cruiser. Stay tuned.

What is a transformer? All things about transformer

One of the main reasons that we use alternating AC voltages and currents in our homes and workplace’s is that AC supplies can be easily generated at a convenient voltage, transformed (hence the name transformer) into much higher voltages and then distributed around the country using a national grid of pylons and cables over very long distances. The reason for transforming the voltage to a much higher level is that higher distribution voltages implies lower currents for the same power and therefore lower I 2 *R losses along the networked grid of cables. These higher AC transmission voltages and currents can then be reduced to a much lower, safer and usable voltage level where it can be used to supply electrical equipment in our homes and workplaces, and all this is possible thanks to the basic Voltage Transformer . A Typical Voltage Transformer The Voltage Transformer can be thought of as an electrical component rather than an electronic component. A tra...

A Brief History of Motorcycles From Steam to Scream

It’s easy to take the motorcycle for granted. We see them everywhere, and in some parts of the world two-wheeled transport is the most popular way to get around for the whole family. The history of motorcycles is an interesting one. It’s pretty obvious that a motorcycle is in principle just a motorized bicycle, but it was quite some time from the first 1817 bicycle archetype (the German draisine) until motorized bicycles started to appear in the second half of the 19th century. Mercedes Benz Gaining Steam In the 1860s a blacksmith (who else?) named Pierre Michaux founded his company in order to make pedal-powered bicycles, more or less the kind we know today. These pseudo-bicycles were known as velocipedes, which sounds like a wicked cross between a velociraptor and a centipede. Clearly this was a bit before the internal combustion engine really came into its own, so these very early motorcycles were in fact steam-powered. Can you imagine a c...
