2011 Ducati Last Diavel Carbon Faster



2011 Ducati Diavel Carbon

Carbon Diavel and reflects the true nature of the concept Diavel, which combines the style of performances to celebrate the Italian engineering at its best. Lightweight composite parts and polished aluminum will merge the two worlds of sport and style properties that are both visually beautiful and functionally efficient.

Hard to be seen, easy to be noticed.Even disappear in a split second, everyone will be enthralled. It's the magic Diavel.

The design sets new standards in beauty, innovation and sophistication, while the speed and handling are enclosed in a muscular body that moves with 162 horses. His incredible power can be handled in three different modes of driving and safety assurance Pack Ducati (Ducati Traction Control ABS). Ducati has created something truly magical.

It's called "Diavel" and comes in a new dream Ducati EICMA

Preceded by rumors, photos and stolen a lot of waiting, we received word is final. EICMA, the International motorcycle in Milan Rho-November 2-7, will mark the first official public appearance of the new Ducati.

Livery and specifications are defined and the Ducati is ready to make his dream a reality. Pending the official launch of the Ducati will also be anticipating the name of this great news, that inspired the term dialect of Bologna, will be called "Diavel", or "devil."

A name that has its own particular history, stemming from an incident that took place during the development of the bicycle.

In fact, once seated, the first prototype, with all the technical staff on the new creature "made in Borgo Panigale," a sentence in the dialect of Bologna said the original lines of the bike and win, " ignurant comm 'to Diavel "which brings together Declaration in Italian, it would sound" is just as bad as the devil. "

From that moment on, "Diavel" became the name of the "inside" the bike, to replace the internal code of the project. The decision to maintain production, as you can imagine, the logical consequence.

Like in Genesis, even if we talk for almost 20 years, characterized another icon of Ducati, monster, whose name was inspired by the now famous statement, also in the dialect of Bologna, "is only the" monster n ! "O" is a monster. "

As for Monster, then Diavel name becomes an expression of this unique, passionate, increasingly characterized by high technology and a unique design feature of every Ducati motorcycle production.

At the same time, it is easy to see that this new bike and everything to do with Ducati tradition, to mark an important new chapter in terms of aesthetics and performance.

The new Ducati Diavel be extremely precise in every detail, carved in all the muscles, comfortable and innovative. As in any real Ducati will conduct play an important role. The behavior of the torque, force and momentum will be a new benchmark, thanks to the Testastretta engine is 11 ° - the same as the Multi Strada 1200 - and weighs only 207 kg dry, which promises a faster and Superbike speed and agility to change direction.

A relaxed driving position, the suspension comfort and safety are guaranteed by the ABS, traction control and set the standard mode, to meet the pilots who like to drive in peace, enjoying the street, landscape and all the characteristics of this new dream Ducati.


Concept

The project was born when designers Ducati Diavel wishlist applied the bike "Basic Instinct" a blank canvas. With a "what if?" Approach to creating a dream bike, which outlined the ways that became an inspiration bike lower and more. "The challenge of building muscle, the silhouette of a competitive force purebred had to comply with a determination and a delicate touch and the result is a front surface that looks like an athlete's energy output block" said the Ducati design team responsible for the project. "With the front wheel is held near the body of Diavel and short tail of a sport bike, we were able to combine this concept with a muscular structure that match."

Design

Tuning Diavel is the ability, dominance, and confidence in the superiority of the border. Adding side-mounted radiators broad muscle "behind", which is then narrowed down the engine and all the belly-fairing with oil cooler, the athlete was formed. A massive rear tire, § 240 was a perfect example of how designers use Diavel uncompromising attitude in applying their wish list of features. Width of a mere rubber communicates a lot of power and style, the R & D team has promised to find a way to do that deal - even though they knew that the image would have given the seismic shock through the industry. Ducati Diavel is true, was born the passion for motorcycling and designed to produce a performance Ducati true in every respect.

Carbon

Carbon Diavel offers the true nature of the concept Diavel where performance combined with style to celebrate the Italian engineering company at its best. Composite lightweight milled aluminum components merge the two worlds of sport and style with features that are both visually beautiful and functional high performance.

Mount mode

Diavel contains the latest innovative technologies Ducati, including the recent introduction of e-riding. Choose between switches on the left - even while driving - choose from three preset modes are programmed to rapidly change the nature of the Diavel. Three modes are available, combining class-leading technologies, such as ride-by-Wire (RBW) and the Ducati Traction Control (DTC). Since riding the streets of the city may require more attention to the environment than gas inputs, the Urban Riding a state of immediate changes Diavel to provide manageable and confident ride. 100 horsepower is reduced and the DTC is a further 5 to provide a greater level of intervention by the system during the most chaotic, stop-start traffic. Riding Touring mode is programmed to produce 162hp, however, smoother, more user-friendly power delivery.

Rear grip is improved by increasing the DTC intervention system to level 4, which are intended to provide a pleasant and ideal for a relaxing ride on a long journey, and for maximum comfort and the pilot and passenger. Riding a Sport mode driver Diavel adrenaline rush with the 162hp fuel and allows the driver, which is a response at full throttle for maximum acceleration. Ensure the whole experience Testastretta 11 °, the Sport mode also allows a reduction in DTC of the 3 intervention level for drivers who want performance in a little 'closer to the limit of adhesion.

Engine


Testastretta 11 °

Diavels heart is the Ducati Testastretta 11 ° - developed directly from an incredibly powerful engines world-class player in Ducati Corse race. Ducati Testastretta 11 ° exploit the immense power makes the Superbike engine and a smooth and flexible, a big step forward in balancing high performance with a fun ride. If the engine is raw power on tap, if necessary, and a smooth, easy to use and comfortable in a comfortable ride, Ducati revised cam timing assembly, focusing particularly on the top of the valve angle. The overlap angle is defined intervals of rotation of the engine in terms of degrees, during which both intake and exhaust valves are open simultaneously. This overlap occurs between the end of the race exhaust and intake stroke of the first.

Powerful engines, which are the subject of extreme power without compromising the optimal distribution, use high values ​​of this parameter in order to benefit from the pressure waves to enhance the performance of the engine to maximize volume performance. And second motor Testastretta '11, this angle is reduced by 41 °, is used Testastretta Evoluzione engine that powers 1198, 11 percent. Consequently, fresh input charging current is less than the risk of leaving the exhaust gas, burning so much smoother, in addition to fuel economy and exhaust emissions lower.

Ride-by-wire

Ride-by-Wire (RBW), the system is an electronic interface Diavel knob and the engine, which determines the ideal power, depending on the selected horse. Knob is no longer throttle cable connected directly to the butterflies in the body, but gives the signal to the ECU, which in turn acts as a throttle electronically. RBW system uses three different descriptions of regulated power output: 162hp sport style of delivery and delivery 162hp 100hp progressive for its visitors in town for progressive delivery

15 000 kilometers between the main services

Continued investment in the quality of design, materials and techniques have advanced to the distance between major service intervals (check the valve clearances) have increased at a remarkably low 15,000 miles. This is achieved with the introduction of new materials for valve seat, improved combustion efficiency and temperature control designed for 11 ° Testastretta engine.

Double radiator side

The solution technique used to keep the front lines of cleaning was to Diavel very effective two side radiators on both sides of the bike. These units well managed, which is located under the fuel tank, use of aerodynamics to help attract the flow of air into the radiators and with the assistance of high-speed electric fans if necessary. The design combines form and function to improve the shape of the muscle bike.

Exhaust

The massive 58mm (2.28in) section 2-1-2 exhaust manifolds lead to promote the system through equal lengths, making it possible for the efficient power delivery are Diavel. The engine management system spends a lambda for each title, provide an accurate power through a box of large air filter, while the elegant style gun, silencers stacked vertically to make catalysts Euro 3-Declaration of Conformity and Electronic Control Valve optimizes the central exhaust pressure through REV-series.

Slipper clutch

The transmission includes an oil bath clutch with "slipper" function and a super-light feel at the lever. The design uses a servo-mechanism which presses the plates together progressive when under the action of the motor, allowing the reduction of the spring clutch. The result is a clutch lever on the handlebars a lot lighter, ideal for stop-start traffic or on long trips. When the motor is reversed (run), the same mechanism that reduces the stress on the clutch plates, allowing them to offer career-type "slipper" action, which reduces the destabilizing effect on the aggressive back down change and provides much smoother feeling when you close the throttle or downshifting in normal conditions.


Power and torque

With 162hp and colossal £ 94 feet (127.5Nm) of torque, the Diavel Testastretta engine 11 has to do with performance Ducati desmodromic authentic. Consumer exhaust ports revised and combined with the radical adjustment of cam timing allows Ducati to achieve a torque curve at low speed fantastic, remains strong across a wide rev range. The increase in the lower level is in charge of a pair of Ducati Ride-by-Wire (RBW) to significantly improve the Diavel ridability effort, while ensuring sufficient power to mount the faucet high speed.

Chassis

Marzocchi forks with low friction sleeve super

The Diavel uses 50mm Marzocchi forks with black sleeves painted super low friction diamond-like carbon (DLC). These forks are fully adjustable spring preload, compression and rebound. The forks are gripped by a triple-slash cutting pliers - cast aluminum for the lower and forged at the top - with a rubber-mounted bars tapered aluminum riser. With an inclination of 28 degrees, the runway of 130mm (5.12in) and an offset of 24mm (0.945in) implementation provides a sure-footed and agile front-end for handling and incredible turning 70 ° total maneuverability Max.

Marchesini wheels rims Marchesini nine nine

The Custom Shop Diavel finished carbon, lightweight forged wheels turned and milled by Marchesini, not only mark a total weight of the impressive gain 5.5 pounds (2.5 kilograms), but also look spectacular. These complexes nine wheels highlight the delicate natural aluminum machining against a black finish.

Fuel tank vents

The Diavel 17L (4.5 U.S. gal) fuel tank is a part of the wheel all the style. In a large, long line down on the seat and the rear subframe mount lights to create a seamless profile. Even if the center of the tank is high-resolution display, the skin steel tank panels and well-shaped knee for more solid feel Diavel and high-tech carbon composite Diavel look. On both sides of the tank in front of a massive air intakes to feed the engine is aluminum, without a large airbox.

Swingarm

Long, cast aluminum swingarm, to give a good "feel" in the back of the head with a wheelbase of 1,590 mm (62.6in), and an attitude that has a lean angle of up to 41 degrees.

Brake System

The front brakes use Brembo Diavel is incredibly strong monoblock calipers that offer outstanding performance made possible by new, integrated master cylinder reservoir with alloy form unique sporting bleached top. The 4-piston calipers grip twin 320mm discs with radially mounted, while a single 265mm disc at the rear is the lever for Brembo twin-piston caliper, too. Carbon Diavel uses specially machined aluminum plate carriers that have natural color aluminum milled around depressions in weight gain rather than cut black finish around the center carrier. Typical of Ducati, these high-end components offer excellent levels of checks and set a new benchmark in this category.


Diavel rack

The Ducati Trellis frame uses the signature of large diameter, light tubes and vertically cast aluminum sections of the power sub-frame. This is achieved huge torsional stiffness while remaining lightweight and compact. Two parts form a structure that connects the back of the head to one side of the complex techno-polymer.

Double the headquarters level

The Diavel two levels of the strategy of seats are wide, comfortable and well shaped to fit the sleek machine and 770mm (30.3in), has one of the lowest peaks of the headquarters of the range Ducati . Sitting down, in addition to a lowered chassis set-up, weighing only 210 kg (463 pounds) - 207 kg (456 lb) for carbon Diavel - allows the driver to get both feet on the ground to safe-feet and confident position. The seat also comes with a beautiful cover and lightweight form unique removable seat is made of carbon fiber on carbon Diavel.

Sachs rear suspension

Diavel Sachs rear suspension unit of the lower strap below the surface in a horizontal position, taking care of a progressive pull-rod from the chainstay. Adjustable compression and rebound, the device driver to facilitate a convenient spring preload adjustment.

Team


Ducati Traction Control (DTC)

Traction Control Ducati racing products (DTC) is a very intelligent, which acts as a filter between the driver's right hand and the rear tire. In milliseconds, DTC is able to detect and control the rotation of the rear-wheel, which dramatically increases the active safety of the bicycle and performance. The system has eight levels of "sensitivity", each program with an amount of rotation of the rear-wheel-tolerance. These levels are in line with progressive levels of riding skills rated from one to eight. A level is programmed to provide the least amount of interaction for sport oriented riders, while eight levels with the greatest amount of interaction with confidence. DTC levels are preset at the three driving modes, but can be individually adapted and recorded in accordance with the pilot through access to new easy to use configuration menu. A "default" option is available to easily return all settings to factory pre-sets.

ABS

Diavel features the most modern and compact, the Bosch-Brembo Ducati ABS system is the original, offers a significant contribution to performance monitoring. Start the Brembo components, combined with Bosch ABS, special body composition and Pirelli Diavel Advanced Patch Technology (EPT) leads to even greater stopping power than the Ducati Superbike powerful.

Two levels of implementation

The top LCD screen is mounted on a bar-riser and provide key information, such as speed and RPM in addition to warning lights, time and temperature. Flatter, full color thin film transistor (TFT) is in style in the fuel tank and provides an incredibly clear account of the current gear selection mode on horseback, and the DTC number, and the entire mileage and travel. Used in mobile phones and computers, TFT-LCD is a variant and it seems easy to read high-resolution graphics. Diavel TFT display goes a step further, using the sensitivity to ambient light to determine a background color to black or white. Once in place, the smaller screen also acts as a recent intuitive control panel to change the DTC, and RBW settings in each driving mode before saving.


Lighting

The two vertical bands Diavel uses bright LED light to provide light in the rear brake light and direction indicators. Bands follow the exact line of coating under the seat, giving visibility to the rear, keeping the exterior lines of the bike clean. Indicators are the bands before tip directional LED clear lens mounted vertically side radiator cover. The projector offers immediate Ducati Diavel identity and supported by an aluminum exterior. The light uses reflectors of high and low beam dual to illuminate the way forward, as well as incorporating a strip of LED lights horizontal position for optimal visibility.

Pirelli Tires

Ducati technical partner, Pirelli, has worked with designers and engineers to develop Diavel the incredible new Diablo Rosso tires II. While the front in a conventional 120/70x17 section with a new model designed for improved performance wet weather, 240/45x17 rear is the latest innovation in tire design with a profile-oriented sport, used to custom style width. The rear solid employs dual-compound technology to allow high levels of grip at full tilt angle, while ensuring high mileage and uses Enhanced Patch Technology (EPT) to maximize the contact area at all angles. Sculpture and compounds offer excellent performance in all conditions, especially wet.

Hands-free power

Ignition Diavel is activated by an electronic key in the pocket of the driver, which communicates with the bike when at a distance of about 2 meters (6.5 ft). Motorcycling recognize the key code and automatically dedicated systems bike. Pressing the key switch on all activation systems, and "on" and the engine is ready to be launched. The electronic key, which consists of an internal circuit radio, remote doubles as a flip-mechanical keys required to open the seat and fuel tank cap. When parking the motorcycle, an electronic lock is activated to control by simply using full circle and press the power button a second time-off.

Controls

The shape of the handlebars and let the pilot Diavel available are comfortable and in control. Wide bars, aluminum cone with a new custom designed to provide a clean, minimalist implementation, while elegant forged aluminum mirrors offer a generous view supported in the rear. Control switch is supported by the minimalist design and the Ducati with the bodies of slim line housing are easy to use switches and buttons and a single weapon, like "get trip" that slides into the low to cover the start button when activating the kill-switch. While the indicator of the Cancel button doubles as a book and changes quick and easy selection of riding mode, switches back and forth below are used to navigate the new high resolution screen control panel.

Steps and handrails

Travelers will appreciate the subtle passenger footrests Diavel ingeniously lowered the rear subframe and an innovative T-bar shaped handle installation, which slides out from behind the seat. Deployed by the mechanism under the seat, passenger grab handle provides a comfortable grip that inspires confidence, while the shape blends perfectly with the lines of the work queue when retracted. As well as passenger-friendly are made of forged aluminum and shot peening and the power of a single goal to become the first black anodized almost invisible when folded.

Innovative mounting plate

Using the dual-band multi-functional LED lighting behind the Diavel need an innovative solution to the mounting plate. The unique design uses the rear axle of one side of the tilt to expand an elegant signature Ducati trellis frame and the rear tire, Article 240, which allows a central mounting plate. The frame has a source of occult power LED lighting board dedicated to eliminating the dependence of the leading lights behind and create a feature around the seatback. This design solution is the first of its kind and an example of the incredible attention to detail is the Diavel.

Carbon fiber

Carbon fiber is used for container panels, seat cover and front fender only reduce weight and is applied according to the race, which is deeply rooted in the DNA of Ducati.
