The Diavel is an outstanding amalgamation of the ride feel of a cruiser and the aggressive style statement of a naked. Introducing 'muscle’ design features for the first time in the cruiser category, the V4 draws inspiration from legendary muscle cars. The huge air intakes at the front give a hint of the power characteristics of the V4 Granturismo engine. The tech features of the bike are also amazing; there are four riding modes, namely, Sport, Touring, Urban, and Wet. Other standard tech features include cruise control, launch control, wheelie control, standard ABS, and a Bluetooth-capable 5-inch color dashboard.
