Ducati Diavel 1260 Lamborghini: a gritty exclusivity admired from behind the scenes [VIDEO]

In the video proposed by Ducati we retrace the work in which the new ones are protagonists Diavel 1260 Lamborghini and the equally exclusive Lamborghini Sian FKP. Two interesting examples of aesthetics, technology and high performance.

Design

There are several details of the motorcycle that recall characteristics of the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37. A concept based on the Diavel 1260 S with LED lighting technology LED e DRL and various peculiarities such as air intakes and radiator covers in carbon fibre, as are the fenders in the front and rear area, the headlight frame, the tip, the central cover of the tank on which the Lamborghini brand is visible, the dashboard and seat covers and the silencer cover, as mentioned. Other aesthetic details are also characteristic such as the Y and the hexagons that define the light clusters of the car and which return to the motorbike, looking at the motif on the saddle and the shape of the terminals, but also the forged and light rims whose design replicates that of the rims of the 'car.
The paints also recall the colors used on the Sián FKP 37: one shade “Gea Green” which covers the external components and chassis, undertail tub and forged rims “Electrum Gold”. While the traditional red linked to Ducati is present on the braking system calipers. Furthermore, the number 63 stands out on the sides, recalling the year 1963 and the foundation of Lamborghini. The same quantity of Sián FKP 37 developed. While the expected number of Diavel 1260 Lamborghini units is 630. Among the aspects highlighted there is also a dedicated jet helmet.

Technological setting

The bike features a steel tube trellis frame, an Öhlins upside-down fork with TiN treatment and a 48 mm diameter and a cast aluminum single-sided rear swingarm with an adjustable Öhlins monoshock. The travel is 120 and 130 mm respectively and the braking system includes two 320 mm front semi-floating discs with Brembo monobloc M50 radially mounted four-piston calipers and PR16/19 radial master cylinder, while in the area behind a 265 mm disc with Brembo two-piston floating caliper. The front and rear tire sizes are 120/70 ZR17 and 240/45 ZR17 respectively. The saddle is placed at 780 mm and the dry weight amounts to 220 kg, which turns out 246 kg in running order.
On the instrument panel TFT da 3,5 inches, which is also associated with a warning light module present a little further up, the Ducati and Lamborghini logos stand out when turned on, followed by a drawn profile of the example accompanied in turn by the name.
The systems are also different, starting with a 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (6D IMU) platform from Bosch, then Power Mode, Riding Mode, ABS Cornering Evo Bosch, Cruise Control, Ducati Power Launch Evo (DPL), Ducati Traction Control Evo (DTC) and Ducati Wheelie Control Evo (DWC).

Thruster

The specimen is animated by an engine Testastretta DVT da 1.262 cc, approved Euro 5. The power reaches 162 horses (119 kW) at 9.500 rpm and the torque peak is 129 Nm at 7.500 rpm.
