Italian bike manufacturer Ducati is prepping the launch of its XDiavel power cruiser in India on September 15. The launch date was confirmed via an official tweet from the company’s official India Twitter handle.
The series is Ducati’s modern version of cruiser motorcycles, which will be brought in India as CBU units from its plant in Thailand. The bike made its international debut at 2015 EICMA show in Milan, Italy. Both variants of the bike will be introduced in India – XDiavel and XDiavel S. According to the company, the cruiser is a blend of relaxed riding and Ducati’s Italian style, engineering and performance.
