2012 Ducati Diavel Cromo Review

Diavel Cromo system – Diavel Cromo inherits the incomparable programme of the Diavel and is characterised by the chrome mirror-finish cell, which contrasts starkly yet stylishly with the refulgence bleak parts. This oldness explanation of Diavel music is realised by horizontal lay handicraft and artist Ducati logos.

Mechanically the 2012 Ducati Diavel Cromo is identical to the standard models, so you get the stonking 162hp (119kW), 127Nm Testastretta engine, displacing 1198cc. Arguably one of the most powerful motorcycles in its class, Ducati decided that power and torque outputs didn’t need elevating for the Cromo model.

The Ducati Diavel Cromo has not been confirmed for Australian consumption yet and neither has a price but with an up-spec versions of the bike already available ($29,490 for the Diavel carbon) the Cromo is likely to attract a big price premium over the $23,490 entry-level price in Oz if imports begin.
