Ducati XDiavel S review

Suddenly a cruiser makes much more sense

DUCATI broke the cruiser mold when it launched the Diavel in 2010. In fact it smashed it to bits with a mallet. So much so that the result, many have argued, was not actually a cruiser but a variety of naked bike.

But now the Italian marque has put the mallet somewhere safe, fetched out the epoxy resin and painstakingly put the mold back together.

Of course it was never going to be exactly as it was before Ducati started messing about with it, and so the result, the XDiavel, is still not exactly a typical cruiser.
