Ducati Diavel 1260 Launched In India; Prices Start At Rs. 17.7 Lakh

The new generation Ducati Diavel 1260 has been launched in India at a price of Rs. 17.7 lakh for the standard variant, while the Diavel 1260 S is priced at Rs. 19.25 lakh (ex-showroom, India). The Diavel has been a standout model for Ducati even since it was launched and the power cruiser has gained a cult following of sorts. There is no doubting the sex appeal that the Diavel holds and the oomph factor has been further upped with the 2019 model coming in. The new Ducati Diavel 1260 is mean, muscular and looks ready to pounce at all times. In fact, it won the Red Dot award for being "best of the best" in the product design category for 2019. The Diavel 1260 won the award amongst 5,500 products, with 40 international jury members voting for it to be the winner.

While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
