2012 Ducati Diavel Carbon Key Features and Benefits
CONCEPT
Diavel Concept - The Diavel project was born when Ducati designers applied their wish list of bike "basic instinct" to a blank canvas. With a "what if?" For the creation of a bike of your dreams, the ways to inspire a motorcycle sketches were lower and longer. "The challenge of building a muscular silhouette over a racing thoroughbreds had to comply with a determination and a delicate touch, and the result is a frontal area that looks like the power of an athlete in the net "says the Ducati design team responsible for the project." With the front wheel close Diavel body and short tail remains of a sport bike, we were able muscular design combine, with an associated frame. "
Diavel Design - The position of the Diavel is the preparation, control and confidence bordering on superiority. With lateral radiators adding muscle to the broad "shoulders", then to the engine and the fairing belly-fall with oil cooler, the athlete took shape. A massive 240-section rear tire was a perfect example of how designers Diavel uses an uncompromising attitude in carrying out the wish list of features. The total width of rubber communicates so much power and style that the R & D is dedicated to finding a way to drive them - even though he knew that the image is controlled by a landslide in the industry. The Diavel is a true Ducati, born from a passion for motorcycling and designed to authentic Ducati performance in all aspects to offer.
Diavel Carbon - Carbon Diavel embodies the true nature of the concept Diavel, where performance is combined with the style of celebrating the Italian engineering at its best. Lightweight composite and aluminum parts milling merging the two worlds of sport and style with features that are both visually appealing and functional performance.
ENGINE
Testastretta 11 ° - The heart is the Ducati Testastretta Diavels 11 ° - directly developed from the incredibly powerful, race around the world beating Ducati Corse motorcycles. Ducati Testastretta 11 ° uses the immense power of the Superbike engine and makes it supple and flexible, an important step forward in the balance of high performance with a nice walk. For a motor with a brute force on tap when needed and without problems, ease of use is available for a trip effortless and comfortable, Ducati revised the configuration of the cam timing with particular attention to the valve overlap angle. The angle of overlap is defined as the interval of crankshaft rotation, measured in degrees, in which both the intake valves and exhaust valves open simultaneously. This overlap occurs between the end of the exhaust stroke and the beginning of the intake stroke. The high performance engines, which are subject to the smoothness for extreme power delivery, high values of this parameter to use to take advantage of the pressure waves from the engine to improve performance through the maximization of volumetric efficiency jeopardy. Testastretta the motor 11 °, this angle is reduced from 41 °, in the engine which the 1198 Testastretta Evoluzione to 11 °. This is the fresh charge is less affected by the exhaust gases, giving a much smoother combustion and reduced emissions in addition to fuel.
Ride-by-Wire - The Ride-by-Wire (RBW) system is an electronic interface between the grip and the engine Diavel, which provides ideal power response based on the selected driving mode. Fist no longer a throttle cable directly on the throttle butterfly body, but a signal to a control unit, which in turn operates electronic throttle valve. The system uses three different power control commands to RBW: 162 hp with a 162 hp sports delivery progressive type with a good service to 100 hp with progressive delivery for city use to cover
15,000 miles between major services: the constant investment in quality of design, materials and advanced engineering techniques allowed the distance between major services (adoption of the check valve) be increased to a very competitive 15,000 miles. This is achieved with the introduction of new materials of safety valve, improved combustion efficiency and temperature management designed into the engine Testastretta 11 °.
Clutch - The transmission has a clutch in oil bath with "slipper" function and super-light feel at the lever. The design uses a progressive self-servo mechanism, that presses the plates to each other when, under drive from the engine, so that the reduction of the coupling spring rates. This results in a much lighter clutch lever in the ideal of the wheel, stop-start traffic or on long trips. If the driving force is reversed (in time), the same mechanism that reduces stress on the clutch plates, so they have a race-like "slipper" action that the destabilizing effect of the reduced offer back under aggressive down shifting and gives a much smoother feeling when closing the throttle or downshift in normal driving.
Exhaust system - The massive 58mm (2.28in) section exhaust manifolds direct the 2-1-2 system by increasing the power-length equal to the distribution of energy-efficient Diavel possible. The engine management system dedicates a lambda probe for each header, providing fuel through an accurate big airbox, while the elegant style barrel vertically stacked silencers catalysts to introduce Euro 3 compliance and electronic control of the middle portion of the exhaust valve optimizes pressure across the entire rev range.
Two side radiators - The solution technique used for the front lines of clean Diavel place two radiators side was very efficient on both sides of the bike. It drives well channeled, located below the fuel tank, the use of aerodynamics to the airflow to pass through the radiators, and are assisted by electric fans high flow when needed. The design combines form and function to the muscular shape of the bike to improve.
Power and torque - With its massive 162 hp and the 94 lb-ft (127.5Nm) of torque, the Diavel Testastretta 11 ° engine has to do with Ducati desmodromic authentic performance. The inlet and exhaust ports together with the revised radical adjustment of the cam timing has allowed Ducati to a fantastic torque curve at low rpm, which is still strongly over a wide speed range to reach. The increased low end torque is managed by Ducati ride-by-Wire (RBW) of the system substantially improve Diavel Trafficability effort, while a lot of energy remains the tap for driving at high speeds.
CHASSIS
Marzocchi forks of a fork sliders super low friction - The Diavel Marzocchi fork makes use of fork sliders 50 mm with black, super low friction in the finished diamond-like carbon (DLC). These forks are fully adjustable for preload, compression and rebound. The forks are gripped by a triple cutter bar clamp - aluminum casting and forging the bottom to the top - an amount of rubber mounted tapered alloy bars. With a slope of 28 °, following 130 mm (5.12in) and a displacement of 24 mm (0.945in), the set-up provides a rock-solid and versatile front-end for incredible handling and 70 ° angle total spin maximum maneuverability.
Nine carbon spoke Marchesini wheels - The Custom Shop Diavel over, forged alloy wheels, turned and machined Marchesini by not only scoring an impressive weight reduction of 5.5 pounds (2.5 kg), but also look spectacular. This very complicated nine wheels highlight the delicate natural processing of aluminum set against a black finish.
Fuel and air vents - The Diavel of 17L (4.5 gal) fuel tank is an integral part of the overall style of the bike. His lines wide, long sweep of the headlight assembly on the seat and the rear of the chassis to create a profile to make trouble. While the focus of the tank is a panel of high-res screen, the skin of the steel tank and well designed knee panels add a solid feel to the Diavel and a high-tech composite of carbon to the Diavel. On both sides of the front side of the shell are formed intake air mass of aluminum large machine airbox feed.
Two-level seat - Dual-level Diavel seat is roomy, comfortable and nicely shaped to the flowing lines of the machine and 770 mm (30.3in) match, one of the lowest seat height of Ducati range. That low seating position, plus low-hanging chassis set-up that only 210 kg (463 lbs) weight - 207kg (456 pounds) of carbon Diavel - allows the pilot to both feet on the ground for the rock solid and confident. The chair comes with a beautiful cover is easily removable and unique, which is made of carbon fiber in carbon Diavel.
The Sachs rear suspension - The Diavel have a Sachs rear suspension unit low-slung under the chassis in a horizontal position, by a progressive pull-rocker link. Adjustable compression and expansion, the device uses a manual control for easy adjustment of spring preload.
The braking system - The front brakes Brembo monoblock calipers Diavel incredibly powerful and offers excellent performance powered by the new alloy cylinders with integrated master form deposits refers to sport as a ground. The 4-piston, radially mounted twin 320mm discs grabs, while a single 265 mm rear disc is gripped by a dual-piston caliper, also by Brembo. Carbon Diavel makes use of special milling companies on aluminum discs with holes in the machined aluminum natural color cuts weight savings in contrast to the black finish of the carrier through the center. Characteristic for Ducati, the highest share in the range offer an exceptional degree of braking and sets a new benchmark in this category.
A single-sided swingarm - Weather and cast aluminum single sided swingarm provides a great "feel" on the back, with a wheelbase of 1590mm (62.6in) and provides a standard with a slope to 41 °.
Diavel mounting frame - The signature 2012 Ducati Diavel Carbon trellis frame uses a large diameter, lightweight tube with two side surfaces of cast aluminum, which flow into the rear subframe. This results in a large bending rigidity, although light and compact. The two parts form a structure of the rear end connecting both sides of a techno-polymer complex component.
