The Ducati Diavel is probably the best looking street bike that exists today, and those crazy Italians are making it even sexier for 2016. Ducati just announced that there will be a Diavel Carbon next year, and it comes with a nice collection of upgrades. Starting with the looks, the new Diavel Carbon has new Asphalt Grey paint that contrasts to red stripes and Dark Chrome paint on the frame. New forged wheels are also exclusive to the Carbon.

On the more functional side of things the exhaust manifolds new feature Zircotec ceramic coating, and the silencers are brushed steel. The seat of the bike has also been completely redesigned and has exclusive trim.

The greasy bits remain unchanged with the Testastretta 11° Dual Spark engine sitting in the frame providing 162 horsepower of thrust. Traction control, Ducati Riding Modes and ABS brakes are all included as well to make it easier to control that much power without ending up shiny-side down. Ducati says the new bike will be available starting in 2015. If you prefer the murdered-out look, the black on black on black Dark Stealth version will be available as well.
