Ducati XDiavel S 2016

The X Diavel S from Ducati can do much more than you give it credit for. It rides nimbly and agilely through wide radii. In tight radii, you need a little pressure on the handlebars, but for a motorbike in this class, it offers unbeatable lean angle freedom. You can ride it sportily at high speeds. High-quality brakes and a great chassis complete this surprisingly agile riding machine. Clearly, the X Diavel S rides at least as well as it looks.

Surprisingly easy to handle on wide radii and also when cornering
