Poltrona Frau focuses on the seat for the XDaviel Nera, made available in “Siam Red,” “Steel Blue,” “Cemento,” “India,” and “Selva” with laser-engraved logo patterns. A matching keyring and document holder comes with each purchase depending on the saddle color selection. The rest of the bike is given a sleek gloss and matte black finish with Ducati Red brake calipers and valve cover accents. Seats can be optimized to be wider, softer, or feature an added backrest for passengers.
In terms of performance, the XDaviel runs a 1.3-liter V-Twin engine delivering 160 bhp combined with a 6-speed transmission. Key features include an adjustable suspension system, cruise control, Ducati Traction Control, and Ducati Power Launch.
Ducati dealers are now taking orders for the XDiavel Nera, and deliveries are expected to begin next month in March. Pricing starts at $29,795 USD.
