The first of Ducati’s second unveiling of 2022 motorcycles was today, and to kick things off, the Italian brand has a special XDiavel for us.
The Ducati XDiavel Nero is a limited and numbered edition of the performance cruiser, and its biggest feature is a custom seat, developed by the renowned leatherworkers at Poltrona Frau.
Only 500 units of this unique Ducati XDiavel will be made available for the public, with five different leather seat color options, which bring with them a $4,200 price increase over the regular XDiavel S model.
“The XDiavel Nera project was born from the encounter between two Italian excellences,” said Andrea Ferraresi, Director of the Centro Stile Ducati.
“Ducati and Poltrona Frau are two brands with a unique history, they share a passion for beauty and well-made objects, they are strongly Italian and make craftsmanship a distinctive element, always supporting it with sophisticated technological solutions and the use of high-quality materials.”
“The XDiavel Nera perfectly summarizes the values that unite Ducati and Poltrona Frau. It is a unique motorcycle with an unmistakable identity, a splendid expression of the excellence of Made in Italy.”
For those not familiar with Poltrona Frau, the Italian outfit has made a name for itself collaborating with automotive brands for unique and luxurious interior car designs.
Today’s partnership is the second two-wheeled collaboration for Poltrona Frau as well. In 2002, Poltrona Frau created a red leather saddle design for a special edition of the Moto Guzzi California model, which celebrated the eagle brand’s 80th anniversary.
