Ducati Diavel V4 S Confirmed For 2027Motorcycle.comDennis ChungWed, September 9, 2026 at 11:32 PM UTCAdd us on GoogleElectronic suspension and styling updates expectedducati diavel v4 s confirmed for 2027At the start of this year, we reported that Ducati had registered designs for a new model we suspected to be a Diavel V4 S. At the time, we expected it to be announced as a 2026 model, but we never heard a peep from Ducati. That has now changed, as the California Air Resources Board has certified the Diavel V4 S as a 2027 model. We now expect Ducati to include the new Diavel variant during its 2027 World Première series of announcements.Read More:2026 Ducati Diavel V4 S Leaked in Design Filings2026 Ducati Diavel V4 RS – First Look2023 Ducati Diavel V4 Review - First RideDucati initially certified the 2027 Diavel V4 with CARB in March, listing three variants, the base model plus the Bentley and Bentley Mulliner limited edition models. On August 26, CARB signed an updated executive order, revising the earlier filing to add the Diavel V4 S.ducati diavel v4 s confirmed for 2027In our previous reporting, we suspected the design filings were for an S variant due to the presence of wire leads on the fork tubes, indicating an electronic suspension system like the Marzocchi-based Skyhook suspension found on the Multistrada V4 S. The CARB executive further supports our earlier report.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe design filings reveal further changes beyond the suspension. The styling was tweaked to incorporate the design of the intakes on the Diavel V4 RS. The radiator shrouds were also modified, altering the flow of hot air, and there's a new piece of bodywork on the right side of the forward cylinder bank that we suspect is designed to protect some exposed wiring from the redirected radiator heat. Other changes include a new cast wheel design and a new exhaust system.ducati diavel v4 s confirmed for 2027While the exhaust may have changed, we don't expect the engine's performance to have changed significantly from the base model Diavel V4, which has a claimed peak output of 168 hp at 10,750 rpm and 93 lb-ft. at 7,500 rpm. We expect the ride modes to be updated to support the Skyhook suspension, though we don't know of any other changes to the electronics.Last year's Ducati World Première announcements started on September 12, which means we're getting pretty close to the 2027 model year announcements.
