Ducati Unveils New Accessory Packages For The All-New Diavel V4

Last week, during the London Motorcycle Show, Ducati introduced the Diavel V4 power cruiser to the UK market. Now, the Italian manufacturer has announced a range of accessories for the Diavel V4 to help owners customise their new ride.

  • Ducati created three accessory packages for the Diavel V4. 
  • The accessory packages are designed to help prospective owners customise their Diavel V4 based on their personal preferences. 

Ducati’s Diavel model has undergone a transformation since its original V2 form launch at the start of the previous decade, thanks to the introduction of the Granturismo V4. To complement the new model, Ducati has created three accessory packages for the Diavel V4: Style, Sport, and Touring.

The Style package offers a carbon fibre rear mudguard, brake and clutch reservoir covers, levers, mirrors, and a billet aluminium oil filler cap, which are all part of the Ducati by Rizoma partnership. Additionally, Brembo brake callipers can be coloured red or black.

The Sport package features carbon fibre exhaust and tank covers, a carbon front mudguard, an anti-tampering system, and an anodised finish on the tank cap.

Finally, the Touring package offers heated grips, a backrest for the passenger seat, and two semi-rigid side bags. Additionally, the package comes with forged aluminium wheels.

According to Ducati, these accessory packages are designed to help prospective owners customise their Diavel V4 to their personal preferences, ensuring that they get the most out of their new motorcycle. With the introduction of these packages, Ducati is demonstrating its commitment to delivering high-performance, customisable motorcycles that cater to the needs of their riders.

The Diavel V4 is already a highly anticipated motorcycle, and these new accessory packages only add to its allure. The Style, Sport, and Touring packages will undoubtedly appeal to a wide range of riders, and we can’t wait to see how they customise their new Diavel V4s.

Honda Developing Advanced Motorcycle Crash Detection System

Honda is reportedly working on a new motorcycle crash detection system that goes beyond just alerting riders when a crash has occurred.

  • Honda is developing a new motorcycle crash detection system that can determine if the rider is unconscious and decide whether or not to call for emergency services.
  • The system uses the motorcycle’s IMU and sensors to detect a crash.
  • The system can differentiate between minor incidents and serious accidents and has the potential to save lives by quickly alerting emergency services.

The new technology is said to be able to determine if the rider is unconscious or not and decide whether or not to call for emergency services.

The system uses the motorcycle’s IMU and an array of sensors to detect when a crash has occurred. It then links to the rider’s smartphone and helmet-mounted Bluetooth headset to determine if the rider is still conscious or not. Based on this diagnosis, the system will decide whether or not to make an emergency call.

Interestingly, the system is also said to be able to differentiate between a minor incident, such as dropping the bike on its side at a driveway, and a serious accident that requires immediate attention. If the incident is deemed minor, the system will not make an emergency call.

While this new technology sounds promising, questions remain about its accuracy and reliability. For example, if the rider is not wearing a Bluetooth headset, will the system still be able to accurately determine their state of consciousness? Additionally, it will be interesting to see how the system performs in real-world scenarios.

Despite these questions, Honda’s new motorcycle crash detection system is a promising development in motorcycle safety technology. It has the potential to save lives by quickly alerting emergency services when a serious accident has occurred. Honda has not yet announced when the technology will be available to the public.

Dunlop Introduces New Trailmax Raid 50/50 Trail Tyre

Dunlop, one of the world’s leading tyre manufacturers, has launched its latest 50/50 trail motorcycle tyre, the Trailmax Raid, derived from the company’s rally raid programme.

  • The new Trailmax Raid is the most off-road capable tyre in the Dunlop lineup. 
  • The new tyre combines Dunlop’s touring, adventure, and off-road experience and knowledge to offer superior on-road and off-road performance.

Dunlop’s Trailmax Raid tyre features tread blocks similar to those found in Dunlop’s D908 RR rally raid tyre, providing excellent traction on loose terrain.

Compared to the Trailmax Meridian, launched three years ago, the Trailmax Raid is specifically designed for riders who demand regular off-road performance.

The Dunlop Trailmax Raid will be available in three front sizes, covering 19- and 21-inch wheel sizes, and in six rear sizes, covering 17- and 18-inch wheel sizes.

The company plans to launch the initial sizes on 1 March 2023, with the remaining sizes arriving by the second quarter of the year.

According to Luca Davide Andreoni, Marketing Manager, Dunlop Motorcycle Europe, the Trailmax Raid offers an ideal 50/50 tyre that excels in various conditions.

Furthermore, the tyre delivers superior performance on wet roads, providing exceptional braking and traction on a range of surfaces, unlocking more versatility than riders might expect from a trail tyre.

The launch of the new tyre strengthens Dunlop’s trail offerings, providing riders with an opportunity to experience superior on-road and off-road performance. Dunlop’s Trailmax Raid is an excellent tyre for riders seeking a true 50/50 tyre that performs on and off the road.

FIRST LOOK: Zero SR/X Concept

Zero, the US electric motorcycle manufacturer, has unveiled its latest concept motorcycle, the SR/X, in partnership with designer Huge Machine. 

  • The SR/X is the latest concept machine introduced by Zero in partnership with Huge Machine. 
  • The SR/X features a distinctive design with half-fairing in light grey with red strip. 

The SR/X was created as part of Zero’s “Design the Future Development Program” and is a reimagined version of the Zero SR/S sports bike. The bike features a distinctive design with a half-fairing in light grey with a red strip around the front, and a single wide headlight at the front. At the rear, the tail section appears to ‘float’ above the shock.

While there are not many specifications available yet for the concept bike, Zero says it is powered by their ZF75-10 electric motor and the ZF17.3 lithium-ion battery. 

Bill Webb of Huge Machine said that the SR/X is an attempt to define a new sub-category for high-performance electric motorcycles, which combines clean lines and disciplined design with the aggressive proportions and raw functionality found in more traditional race bikes.

Webb explained, “The team wanted to create a dramatic and low ‘front-heavy’ silhouette with the bodywork that could juxtapose the fully exposed mechanicals towards the back of the bike in an unconventional way. 

“The SR/S chassis/mechanicals that zero designed are impressive to look at and we wanted the raw bike underneath to be part of the final composition.”

Zero and Huge Machine have previously collaborated on the design of the Zero FXE and its concept motorcycle. 

The SR/X is the latest example of their visionary concepts and Zero’s commitment to innovation. The new motorcycle strives to hit a design sweet spot for the near future of electric motorcycles, combining clean lines and disciplined design detailing with the aggressive stance and raw performance feel of modern litre bikes. 

The concept bike aims to bridge the gap between a streetfighter and a track bike, with partial fairings and aero performance, as well as the raw attitude of the street.

CONFIRMED: Much-Loved KMT SMT Is Making A Return In April 

KTM has officially confirmed that the brand’s supermoto touring capable motorcycle, the SMT is making a return as the KTM 890 SMT. 

  • KTM 890 SMT set to make global debut in April. 
  • The 890 SMT will feature the same 890cc parallel-twin engine as the one found in the 890 Adventure. 

The Austrian motorcycle company also revealed that the 890 SMT – which was caught undergoing testing in Europe recently – will be officially revealed on 24th April 2023. 

Looking at the spy shots published by Cycle World, the soon-to-be-launch 890 SMT sports a slightly slimmer bodywork than its cousin the 890 Adventure. 

*KTM 890 Adventure

Unlike the adventure variant, the SMT also features a sportier fuel tank. 

In terms of performance, it is likely that the 890 SMT will offer the same power figure as the 890 Adventure. That should mean around 100hp and 95Nm. 

That said, the 890 SMT fits right in the likes of Yamaha Tracer 9 GT (117hp) and Ducati Multistrada V2 (113hp).

Oh the blasphemy! We called the Trident 660 a beginner's superbike, but we standby it wholeheartedly. The Trident is fast and a lot of fun, but it is also very accessible for anyone with just a little bit of experience. And there's not much to worry about either, it is not overly complicated and neither is it very big and heavy. Are u a newbie looking to trade up to a bigger bike? The Triumph Trident 660 may just be worth a look. #TriumphMotorcycles #TriumphTrident #TriumphTrident660
