Bologna’s best has partnered with Bentley for a limited series of their award-winning Diavel V4.
Bentley’s iconic Scarab Green has officially settled into the motorcycling world, and Ducati’s iconic Diavel V4 has been the lucky revver chosen for carrying the luxurious livery.
Per Ducati’s precious experience with supercars (Lamborghini), the all-new “Diavel for Bentley” series is a fleet created to continue Team Red’s reputation for “performance, craftsmanship and exclusivity.”

The “Bentley” part
The fleet makes use of Ducati’s iconic Diavel V4, connecting the potential for 168hp @ 10,750rpm and 93 lb-ft @ 7500rpm with elements from Bentley’s “most powerful car ever:” The Batur, created with the expertise of Mulliner, “the oldest coach builder in the world and Bentley’s in-house bespoke division.”
Like the Batur, this limited series batch of bikes will roll out on forged rims colored in a partial scheme with “Dark Titanium Satin.” The Diavel’s massive front air intakes have also been tweaked to mimic the car’s front grille, with front mudguard, bodywork, and upper tank inspired by the Batur’s front bonnet ribs.
“Diavel by Bentley” bikes also draw on the Batur’s rear extractor to inspire the bike’s single-seater tail, a unit with a saddle dressed in Alcantara black and red to recall the Batur’s own seats.

Where’s the carbon fiber?
Naturally, this wouldn’t be a luxury build without Ducati chucking a bit of carbon fiber componentry at the thing.
Here’s what we’ve got for carbon fiber elements:
- Fenders
- Headlamp cover
- Engine
- Exhaust
- Radiator covers
- Radiator shrouds
- Side panels
- Tailpiece
