More comforts and amenities come in the form of heated grips, an enhanced generator and two auxiliary power outlets which can power your navigation device.
The Diavel Strada destined for the U.S. will continue to feature 4.5 gallon fuel cells. The Ducati Diavel Strada joins the base Diavel, Diavel Dark and Diavel Carbon in Ducati's 2013 lineup. The 2013 Ducati Diavel Strada has a $19,495 MSRP and is offered in a Race Titanium Matte colorway with a black frame and wheels. All of the 2013 Ducati Diavel models come with an unlimited two-year warranty.
