Ducati draXter: the XDiavel world seen in a sporting key [PHOTO and LIVE VIDEO]

Ducati draXter – Ducati presents the new draXter at the Motor Bike Expo in Verona. THEnserted in the Cruiser world of the XDiavel, it is a "concept" that interprets the XDiavel world from a sporting point of view. The project was created by the Advanced Design area of ​​the Ducati Style Center, a section specifically dedicated to exploring the future style and design concepts of Borgo Panigale motorcycles.

The ideas and sketches developed allowed the Ducati prototype department to create draXter starting from the standard XDiavel. The soul of the draXter is that of an extreme dragster with top-level racing components. This is demonstrated, for example, by the suspensions and brakes, borrowed directly from the Panigale Superbike. In this stylistic exercise the lines and proportions of the XDiavel become even more extreme and make the draXter a unique "racer". The number 90 that appears on the side of the Ducati draXter recalls the world of racing and, at the same time, pays homage to the 90th anniversary of Ducati which is celebrated this year.

The Ducati draXter, as well as the entire Cruiser universe of the new XDiavel, are present at the Motor Bike Expo in the Ducati stand (Hall 4 Stand 23 C) until Sunday 24 January. "It'an extreme sportswoman. The spark that gave birth to the Ducati draXter project was the world of drug dealers. The basis is clearly the XDiavel, whose sales are booming (distribution will begin in February), in terms of chassis and engine, for example.” Andrea Buzzoni, marketing and sales director of Ducati, present at the MBE 2016, tells motorionline.com.It's a tool for customization. Also worth mentioning are the forks and brakes deriving directly from the Superbike world.”
