The 2026 Diavel V4 RS has just become the fastest accelerating Ducati bike in the world with a rapid 0-62mph time.
Ducati has been a powerhouse of motorcycles for generations, and it has been destroying the competition in MotoGP for the last six seasons.
Now, it’s rolled out the 2026 Diavel V4 RS, and with its incredible acceleration, it’s already broken records for the Italian company, and could be the most impressive bike of 2026.
The rapid sprint speed of the Diavel V4 RS will make Ducati’s rivals sit up and take notice.

How fast does the 2026 Diavel V4 RS accelerate?
Between the frames of the bike, as the name suggests, is a 1,103cc V4 engine.
That Desmosedici Stradale engine delivers 182hp and 88lb-ft of torque.
With that power, the Diavel V4 RS can accelerate from a standstill to 62mph in just 2.52 seconds.
That is a record for Ducati, with it now the fastest-accelerating production bike in the company’s history.
The Desmosedici Stradale engine is held within an aluminum monocque frame, with a single-sided aluminum swingarm.
There are three power modes for the engine, which are high, medium, and low, as well as four riding modes.
These riding modes are Race, Sport, Touring, and Wet.
Plus, there are rider assistance systems such as traction control and wheelie control.
The Diavel V4 has a completely new design
Ducati has gone all-in when it comes to the overall design of the bike as well.
Titanium and carbon fiber components are some of the additions, and there is a gorgeous livery on the bike.
To indicate its sporty nature, Ducati has added an RS logo to the bike.
If you do want to get your hands on one, however, you will have to act fast.
For now, at least, Ducati is only going to make a limited number of the bikes.
However, making it more confusing for buyers is that they haven’t said exactly how many they intend to produce.
If you do want one, the bike will start at $39,995.
So it isn’t cheap, but we imagine those who want one will find a way to afford it!
