Ducati Diavel for Bentley
A Masterpiece of Engineering and Design
In a groundbreaking collaboration that marks a first between two iconic brands, Ducati and Bentley unveil the Ducati Diavel for Bentley, a limited-edition motorcycle that embodies exclusivity, performance, and craftsmanship. This motorcycle, produced in a limited series of only 500 units with an extra 50 exclusively allocated for Bentley clients, epitomizes the mutual commitment to innovation and design superiority cherished by both Ducati and Bentley.
Revealed during the prestigious Art Basel week in Miami Beach, the Ducati Diavel for Bentley is more than just a motorcycle; it’s a two-wheeled work of art that captures the essence of both brands’ heritage. Built on the technical prowess of the Diavel V4, this bike is a blend of high performance and comfort, reimagined through the design language of the Bentley Batur – Bentley’s most powerful production car to date.
The collaboration has resulted in a motorcycle that boasts a completely new design, incorporating unique and refined components and a special dedicated livery. The design, a collaborative effort between Centro Stile Ducati and Bentley designers, draws inspiration from the horizontal lines and sophisticated Scarab Green color of the Bentley Batur, bringing an unmatched elegance to the motorcycle world.
Every aspect of the Diavel for Bentley screams luxury, from its forged rims designed to echo the Batur’s, to its high-quality carbon fiber bodywork components. The bike’s aesthetic is further enhanced by the side air intakes that mirror the Batur’s two-tone front grille and the triangular rear extractors that nod to the car’s design. The rider’s seat, crafted in black Alcantara, mirrors the luxury of Bentley’s interiors, featuring the Bentley logo and revealing the same red fabric texture as the Batur’s seats.
The heart of the Diavel for Bentley is the 1,158 cc V4 Granturismo engine, known for its power (168 hp), torque, and lightweight design. This engine, combined with a dedicated exhaust system, delivers a riding experience that is both exhilarating and unmistakably Ducati.
For those lucky enough to acquire one of these motorcycles, Ducati offers an unparalleled opportunity to make their Diavel for Bentley even more unique. The 50 Diavel for Bentley Mulliner units offer customization options, including different colors for the saddle, front brake calipers, and more, allowing owners to tailor their bikes to their personal style or to match their Bentley vehicles.
Each Diavel for Bentley is delivered with a certificate of authenticity, and to make the experience even more exclusive, a personalized wooden case accompanies the motorcycle. Adding to the exclusivity is a Capsule Collection of apparel, including a jet helmet and technical jacket, designed to complement the motorcycle’s color scheme.
This partnership between Ducati and Bentley is a celebration of the pinnacle of automotive and motorcycle engineering and design. The Ducati Diavel for Bentley stands as a symbol of what can be achieved when two legendary brands come together to push the boundaries of luxury, performance, and artistry in the automotive world.
