On Monday 21st Jan 2019, Bolognese Motorcycle giant Ducati affirmed that it has started the production of its new Diavel 1260 S. Two months before I had posted an article about Ducati’s new 2019 Diavel.
Diavel was displayed in EICMA last year by Ducati. Also in April 2019 in the wake of assessing more than 5,500 products, a profoundly qualified jury made up of 40 worldwide well-known specialists has appointed the new Diavel 1260 with the renowned title “Red Dot Award 2019: Best of the Best”.
This is the third champ for the Bologna-based organization, following the past honors won by two such notable bikes like the 1199 Panigale in 2013 and the XDiavel S is 2016, indicating how a Ducati bike can be a symbol of style, development, and execution.
Now we get to see the Diavel 1260 and 1260 S in India as it is officially launched with the price tag to INR 17.70 lacs and INR 19.25.Also bookings are now open in India.
The plan is to bring the Diavel via the CBU route from Thailand.
