Overview[edit | edit source]
Ducati Diavel Cromo
Similar to the Ducati Diavel AMG Special Edition, the Diavel Cromo is really more of a restyling of the Italian power cruiser than a new model. Adding mirrored finished pieces to the Diavel, we imagine Ducati is trying a little bit harder to go after the blinged cruiser demographic with this one, as the Ducati Diavel Cromo sports a chrome-like fuel tank panel, retro-style seat, and laser-etched air intakes.
Review
With 140 horsepower and 98Nm of torque from its L-Twin Testastretta EVOluzione engine and a chassis/suspension package thats simply brilliant, the 2011 Ducati 848 EVO is possibly all the superbike anyone can possibly need for the street. Cycle World magazine, which tested the bike for their November 2010 issue, say the 848 EVO accelerates from zero to 96km/h in 3 seconds, from zero to 160km/h in 6.5 seconds, does the quarter-mile (400m) in 10.59 seconds and hits a top speed of 261km/h. Not too bad for a bike that costs US$13,000, eh?
Its interesting to see what CWs Features Editor, John Burns has to say about the 848 EVO. The first Ducati I remember riding was the way cool 851, back in 1989. It made about 80 horsepower and weighed 23kg more than the 848. We loved it, says Burns. If youre Michael Fabrizio or Larry Pegram and racing to make money, you need the big engine [1198]. For street use, for the rest of us, I like the smaller, reviver ones just because the noise they make is the best thing about Ducati superbikes, he adds.
On an 848 EVO, the noise at 10,000rpm is the best racket of all. On an 1198, on the street, youll seldom go there. On the 848, you can go there a couple of times a block because thats where the power is and because the 848 is geared shorter to access it. Not to mention that a mere 118 horses [rear-wheel bhp figure, as measured on the CW dyno] feels like more than enough, sums up Burns. Well, that still doesnt stop us from lusting after the 1198SP thats what we want for Sunday mornings. But the 848 EVO just might do for Saturdays... :-)
