Ducati World Première 2016: the flagship is the XDiavel [LIVE PHOTOS]

Ducati World Premiere 2016 – Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati, opened the 2016 World Premiére with the glory of having exceeded 50.000 units sold this year and of having entered the top ten of the best-selling models in the world with the Scrambler, placing tenth. “In 2015 Ducati exceeded the threshold of 50.000 motorcycles sold: an important milestone because it was achieved without growth being an objective in itself, but the result of the appreciation of the products by our passionate customers", said Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati Motor Holding during the presentation press conference. “After a long period of contraction, the two-wheeler market is showing promising signs of recovery and this, added to the effect of continuous product innovation and geographical expansion in new markets, has allowed us to achieve in the first ten months of 2015 a sales increase of more than 20% compared to last year. This is an excellent result also due to the success of the Scrambler brand which immediately won over new fans. "

The live streaming of the Ducati World Première 2016 opens with the presentation of the Ducati Scrambler Flat Track brought to the stage by Troy Bayliss. Then it's time for Ducati Scrambler Sixty2, the new pop icon. Based on a smaller 399 cc engine, a very light and therefore quite accessible two-wheeler. Many colors available. The new model completes the Scrambler family, 9 components in total to date, but the story doesn't seem to end here. The Scramble Sixty2 expands the range of proposals of the new Ducati brand and opens the way to a new segment, which was created to satisfy the needs of those who want an accessible motorcycle, easy to ride and with low running costs without giving up the Scrambler spirit. The highly expressive design of the Scrambler finds a new form with Sixty2 thanks to the slim steel tank with dedicated graphics and logo that make Sixty2 immediately recognisable, as do its three exclusive colours. Two wheels, wide handlebars, a simple 399 cc engine but capable of guaranteeing lots of fun. The wide handlebars and long saddle guarantee a comfortable and relaxed riding position. The low center of gravity, the new 160/60 x 17'' rear tire and the slightly knobby tread of the tires ensure easy handling and pure fun in every situation, with the knowledge of always having everything under control with every braking thanks to the standard ABS.

The brand new Ducati Multistrada 1200 Enduro identifies the Wild world and represents Ducati's entry into the world of maxienduro. Born to travel, the Multistrada 1200 Enduro is a full optional flagship capable of satisfying even the most demanding globetrotter. Furthermore, it is a maxienduro capable of withstanding the stresses of off-road riding, for which it was designed and developed. Thanks to the spoked wheels with 19'' front and 17'' rear, the Multistrada 1200 Enduro is the perfect motorbike for long adventurous journeys. Equipped with Sachs semi-active electronic suspension (front and rear) and a 30-litre fuel tank, the Multistrada 1200 Enduro is comfortable on any terrain, thanks also to a range that can exceed 450 kilometres. Standard on the Multistrada 1200 Enduro are Cornering ABS, Cornering Lights (DCL), Ducati Traction Control (DTC), Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) and the semi-active Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DSS) Evolution suspension, with wheel travel 200 mm wheels. Furthermore, the Vehicle Hold Control (VHC) hill start assist system has been introduced.

Ducati finally enters black. With black you change position, you go from being sporty to being more elegant or you change paradigm. “Style, sophistication and performance”, this is what Ducati wants from its new Xdiavel, which represents the union of the two worlds, the Cruiser one, made up of low speeds, relaxed driving and long journeys, and the Ducati one characterized by Italian style, technical refinement and very high level performance. The 5.000, 60, 40. They are, however, the three numbers that summarize the concept of XDiavel. 5.000 like the revolutions per minute at which his twin-cylinder, the new 1262 HP Ducati Testastretta DVT 156 engine reaches a maximum torque value of 13.1 kgm. 60 as the number of different ergonomic configurations for the rider. 40, finally, as the maximum reachable lean angle. The XDiavel is the first Ducati to use belt final drive, a must in the cruiser world. The Bosch Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) together with the Ducati Traction Control (DTC), the Riding Modes, the Bosch Cornering ABS, the Cruise Control and the innovative Ducati Power Launch (DPL) make the XDiavel a technologically advanced motorcycle, high-performance and safe. The XDiavel is also available in the S version.
