It is also the first Monster to feature the Ducati Traction Control (DTC) system- which combined with standard ABS brakes composes the Ducati Safety Pack. The 2011 Ducati Diavel has taken the bike world by storm and will be on display for all to admire. The Diavel’s design sets new standards in beauty, innovation and sophistication; while outstanding agility and handling are encased within a muscular 162 hp package.
