Ducati has disrupted the cool world of cruiser bikes with their amazing XDiavel S (www.ducati.com/us/en/bikes/xd.... The technocruiser, as the Italian motorcycle company calls it, offers the low-end torque, forward controls, low seat and easy riding position of a cruiser with the heart of a true Ducati superbike. That heart is an amazing Ducati Testastretta DVT 1262 engine with 156 horsepower.
The power is harnessed by a belt-drive transmission (the first for Ducati) and cool tech like Bosch cornering ABS, different drive modes and Ducati Traction Control. Here's a full review and ride video of the 2018 Ducati XDiavel S.

Good review. Thank you! I am not big on reading manuals so your review is very helpful. I’ve learned something about this bike!

Great review thanks, Getting mine Sat, can't wait

@FreddySherman 5 лет назад

It was an amazing bike, enjoy it!!!!!!!

@flibbertigibbet6200 5 лет назад

@@FreddySherman did you find it really thumpy through the chasis/seat when laying on the power on top gears. find with mine if I'm cruising say 60/70mph then apply throttle you can really feel it thumping through the bike? First twin I have ever ridden/owned so not sure how normal this is? Thanks

@FreddySherman 5 лет назад

@@flibbertigibbet6200 Not sure exactly what you mean by thumpy. I rode it a lot on the freeway and didn't notice any issues or things that stood out to me. In sport mode it has a lot of torque and you may be feeling the power of the engine when it engages in each gear. Maybe change those drive mode settings and see if it still does it.

@theblackwing860 5 лет назад

Awesome!!! I love it

@FreddySherman 5 лет назад

It was a very cool bike to ride. Thank you for watching.

Awesome review. I want one!

@FreddySherman 5 лет назад

Thanks for watching It was a very cool bike to ride, especially compared to the Harleys I've been on lately.

@GunzGonda 5 лет назад

I like a couple of the new HD's but as much as they're trying to bring younger riders over, I still feel like they're an old man's bike. At the end of the day I'm just going to have to test ride a couple different models and see which one wins the heart.

@FreddySherman 5 лет назад

I agree and yes, a test ride is key. Check out my review of the H-D Heritage Classic. I just had the CVO Road Glide and will be posting a review of that tomorrow morning.

@Youtube_Globetrotter 5 лет назад

I wonder about the angel the left foot gets for the gear shifter. If you have first gear is it hard the get the foot under the shifter? Never ridden a bike with my feet forward.

@FreddySherman 5 лет назад

No, not at all. It feels very comfortable and natural. It's a similar position to some of the Harley Softails. It's comfortable and also it's easy to shift when you're trying to go fast. Thanks for watching.

@HairlessBiker 6 лет назад

A good review, can you get both feet flat on the floor, with you being 5ft 7. Also is it a heavy lump at slow speeds ie in slow traffic? Just subbed ya Atb Colin

@FreddySherman 6 лет назад

charles pooshay Thanks for watching and for subscribing. No, I can't get both feet flat on the ground. They do have a different seat you can use which is an inch lower and I also think you could adjust the rear shock to make it a little bit lower.

@HairlessBiker 6 лет назад

Luxury Fred thank you for replying much appreciated.

@FreddySherman 6 лет назад

Sure, also it's not a heavy lump at all. Very fast at low speeds and the engine is tuned to deliver a lot of torque at low RPM, which you need in a cruiser. It has different modes, there's an Urban mode for city riding.

@soliddiesel7 5 лет назад

Thanks for reading out the spec sheet....

@FreddySherman 5 лет назад

Thanks for watching. I can't remember all the details and guys like you want to hear them. Stay tuned, I have another Ducati coming at the end of September.

@Amir-ie2yz 5 лет назад

Nice review. Better then a 2017 Harley low rider s? Would you take it over any Harley in it’s class ?

@FreddySherman 5 лет назад

Thanks for watching, it's a tough question. I really like the low rider, if you mean the Softail Lo, I think it's called. It's a lot different as the H-D engine is so much bigger. A lot would depend on my size (if you're a big guy you need the bigger bike), my budget (there's a big cost difference) and the coolness factor. The Kawasaki will never be as cool as the H-D. Also I would seriously research reliability and how the two compare. Finally, the resale value is a lot different, the H-D retains its value better. That part would be part of the budget question.

@doyituyoi 6 лет назад

Is it true Ducati stopped Diavel series (Chrome, Carbon)? and now only produce XDiavel.

@FreddySherman 6 лет назад

Thanks for watching. No, I believe they still do produce Diavel models. If you look at their website, it shows the different Diavel models for 2018.

@stizzygrayson5541 5 лет назад

The new s model at EICMA is pretty nice.

@FreddySherman 5 лет назад

I was just reading about it. I hope to get one to review when they have them in the US press fleet. Thank you for watching!

@airfonzy 5 лет назад

Do you need a wind shield? how is it at high speeds?

@FreddySherman 5 лет назад

I always like a windshield and I think there is an optional one. It wasn't an issue but I wear a full-face Schuberth helmet. Very smooth, fast and steady at high speeds, with a tiny bit of vibration of the mirrors. Not the handlebars, but just the mirrors. You had to look at them longer than you should to see behind you. Thank you for watching, please subscribe for more Ducati reviews. I'm planning more in January.

@benyatrock Год назад

Just a suggestion...when there's a choice between motorcycle sounds or super crappy music, go with the motorcycle sounds.

@FreddySherman Год назад

I agree. Sometimes the sound isn't good, like on riding parts, there is noise so I use music instead. Thanks for watching and please subscribe!

@roberturbina3115 6 лет назад

How tall are you?

@FreddySherman 6 лет назад

Short, 5'7"

@shubhamsaha4079 5 лет назад

can a 5'4" person ride this bike?

@FreddySherman 5 лет назад

That's probably the minimum to feel comfortable. I would check about the lowest seat possible (they have a few different seat options) and I would have the dealer make sure the bike is as low as possible, with the suspension settings. I'm probably 5'6" and I had to be on my tip-toes.

@vlatepes1901 5 лет назад

What about someone that is 5'1?

@FreddySherman 5 лет назад

I think you would have trouble. I am not much taller and could not get both feet flat on the ground. This was a test bike, with an average set-up, I didn't do any adjustments. With that said, you can get an optional lower seat and there may be a way to dial down the suspension an inch or two. So you could configure it to its lowest setting and then it would be OK.

@XO43137 Год назад

So much electronics but no electronic suspension ...

@FreddySherman Год назад

This was a 2018, is that true for the 2023 model?

@wickedleeloopy2115 5 лет назад

This bike does make you seem quite short 😂🤣😂 only 29 inch seat...your struggle

@FreddySherman 5 лет назад

But I am quite short! This one was OK to ride, that's probably about the highest seat height I can comfortably handle. Thank you for watching.

@tonyortega4733 3 года назад

This looks like a 2019

@FreddySherman 3 года назад

Maybe it didn't change much (or at all) between 2018 and 2019. I am getting a 2020 Monster to review next month. Thanks for watching the video.

@fulltonefulltone 5 лет назад

Bike looks redicules with driver on...

@FreddySherman 5 лет назад

Hard to take someone seriously who spells ridiculous incorrectly, but hey, thanks for watching.

@danielmangan7561 3 года назад

can't believe while watching different bike reviews how uneducated some reviewers seem to be, do your job...

@FreddySherman 3 года назад

I'm quite educated, thank you. I am a casual rider and review bikes as such. I am also not an expert and review bikes from that stand-point, as many riders are not experts. Thanks for watching the video!

@williamhiggins4220 6 лет назад

The turn signals are self canceling YES YES YES...........YOU REPORTED THEY DO NOT SELF CANCEL!!! ALSO, THAT KEY & LIFT THE SEAT HEIGHT STATEMENT IS WRONG...........REVIEW FAILURE

@FreddySherman 6 лет назад

Nope, not self cancelling. Keyless ignition and there are three different seats (with three different heights) you can use. Another comment failure. But hey, thanks for watching!

@williamhiggins4220 6 лет назад

Luxury Fred- All 2018 Ducati XDiavel S models.......are painted "Iceberg White" All 2016 & 2017 models are painted "Thrilling Black" These are Factory colors......please check the Ducati website and see......The XDiavel S model comes with one seat.......anyone can purchase extra or different height seats.......but the bike only comes with ONE SEAT. My 2016 XDiavel S, has Automatic Deactivation for the Turn Indicators....(ducati's Terminology) automatic deactivation means self canceling and turn indicators are the same as turn signals. ON PAGE 230 OF MY OWNERS MANUAL.....IT EXPLAINS TURN INDICATOR AUTOMATIC DEACTIVATION........THESE ARE FACTS......CHECK DUCATI'S WEBSITE OR GOOGLE THE BIKE.... R E V I E W F A I L U R E A G A I N.........nice try......but failure.

@dzl8596 6 лет назад

Nobody is listening to you Higgins because you're acting like a douche. Learn some manners.

@williamhiggins4220 6 лет назад

DZL- I commented to Luxury Fred, and he replied back, he made a couple false statements in his review along with a misleading one as well, I HAVE PROOF AND FACTS THAT ARE EASILY CHECKED..........I own a Ducati Xdiavel S model and I know this bike and follow all the forums about this model........Luxury Fred gets a leftover loaner model for a couple of hours, and makes false statements............BUT I'M THE DOUCHE ? IF NOBODY IS LISTENING TO ME.......YOUR NAME MUST BE >>> NOBODY

@FreddySherman 6 лет назад

So many CAPS, why you YELLING bro?

@williamhiggins4220 6 лет назад

You should know that in 2018 Ducati Xdiavel S models are all painted WHITE.......YOU DO NOT HAVE A 2018 MODEL.....................REVIEW FAILURE.

@FreddySherman 6 лет назад

Thanks for watching. You are incorrect, they are all black. Comment failure.

@williamhiggins4220 6 лет назад

OK I'LL BITE........WHAT YEAR DID DUCATI MAKE THE XDIAVEL S MODEL ICEBERG WHITE??? JUST GOOGLE 2018 DUCATI XDIAVEL S..........AND SEE THE PHOTOS/ SEE THE PHOTOS. SEE THE PHOTOS. SEE THE PHOTOS. 2 0 1 8 Ducati XDiavel S models A R E........I C E B E R G W H I T E........SEE THE PHOTOS !!! R E V I E W F A I L U R E A G A I N...........ADMIT YOUR MISTAKES......MAN UP ?

@FreddySherman 6 лет назад

Nope, I confirmed with Ducati, I had a press bike, it was an S and they do make black X Diavel S bikes. On the S version, the matte black areas become gloss. I'm looking at the press materials right now, for the X Diavel S, two color options, Iceberg White with grey and red trim with grey frame and black wheels OR Thilling Black with matte black and red trim with grey frame and black wheels. Again comment failure from a silly person. But also again, thank you for watching and commenting. I will check on the turn signal thing, but it wouldn't self cancel for me!

@FreddySherman 6 лет назад

I posted a pic of the page from Ducati showing the S is available in both white or black facebook.com/luxuryfred/photos/a.207030699309996.55985.169590046387395/2005764679436580/?type=3&theater
