Ducati to unveil the innovative new Diavel Carbon at the Milan showAfter months of speculation the long wait is almost over, the new Diavel Carbon will make its first public appearance at the EICMA International Motorcycle Show in Milan this coming November, 2-7.

Announcing the new model’s name ahead of the official presentation, the famous Italian manufacturer is about to turn another dream into reality. This dream comes true via using the local Bolognese dialect for “devil” in naming their new model the Diavel Carbon – pronounced Dee-ah-vel.

The idea for the Diavel Carbon name was born early in the development process of the bike, when the prototype was assembled and wheeled out in front of a group of Ducati engineers and technicians for the first time. One person looking from the rear of the bike saw its silhouette and exclaimed in Bolognese dialect: “Ignurànt comm’ al Diavel Carbon!” Meaning: “Evil, like the devil!”
