2016 XDiavel - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Strong power output: 2016 Ducati XDiavel makes 114.7 kW @ 9500 rpm with 128.9 Nm @ 5000 rpm of torque - competitive figures for its class.
Accessible seat height: At 755 mm, the seat height is approachable for a wide range of rider heights and builds confidence in low-speed manoeuvring.
Large fuel range: The 18-litre tank is generously sized, translating to extended range between stops - ideal for touring or longer commutes.

Considerations

Age-related wear: As with any used XDiavel, a thorough pre-purchase inspection covering consumables, service history and tyres is always recommended.

Owner Experiences & Common Issues

Low-speed confidence

At 247 kg, the XDiavel is a substantial machine. New owners occasionally mention that slow-speed manoeuvring in car parks takes a little getting used to. Once moving, the weight disappears - but practising slow-speed exercises builds confidence quickly.

XDiavel - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

When inspecting a used 2016 Ducati XDiavel, start with the basics: check the service book for oil change frequency, inspect the chain and sprockets for wear, and look for oil seepage around the engine casings and rocker covers. A cold start test is invaluable - a well-maintained XDiavel should fire up cleanly and settle to a smooth idle within a few seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Regular oil changes are the single most important maintenance task on any XDiavel. Stick to the manufacturer's interval - typically every 6,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. Always use the correct viscosity grade as specified in the owner's manual.
