The Ducati Diavel V4 has been awarded “Best of the Best” in the Product Design category at the 2024 Red Dot Awards. This recognition, among the most illustrious at an international level, every year celebrates excellence in the world of design and confirms the uniqueness that characterise the motorcycles designed and created in Borgo Panigale.
Founded in 1955, the Red Dot Award celebrates the most original and deserving proposals for style and innovation. The award is given by a jury of experts in product design, communication design and design concepts, who this year gave the Diavel V4 the important title of "Red Dot Award 2024: Best of the Best", the highest recognition of the competition, reserved exclusively for creations capable of setting a new standard in the benchmark sector.
This award represents the latest in a series of successes recognised for Ducati design. The same award was in fact obtained by the 1199 Panigale in 2013, by the XDiavel in 2016 and by the Diavel 1260 in 2019, demonstrating how a Ducati motorcycle can combine Style, Sophistication and Performance in an unmistakable way.
With its refined style and muscular and elegant lines, with masses visually concentrated on the front and an agile and slender rear, with fine details such as the footrests and the retractable passenger handle, the Diavel V4 stands out as an authentic style icon in the motorcycle design scene. The V4 Granturismo engine is a distinctive element both for style and performance of this motorcycle, whose bold aesthetics are enhanced by unmistakable elements, such as the spectacular LED lights, the imposing 240-section rear tyre on the machined five-spoke alloy rear wheel, and the eye-catching four-way silencer.
Almost two years after its presentation, the Diavel V4 has obtained recognition from the most authoritative institutions in the field of design and the international press. Among the recognitions stand out the prestigious Good Design® Award, the oldest global recognition in the design sector, and the Special Mention at the German Design Award 2024, assigned by the German Design Council.
The 2024 Red Dot Award ceremony will be held on June 24th in Germany, at the Aalto Theatre in Essen. The award winners will be exhibited in the Red Dot museum in Zollverein, also located in Essen and now part of the UNESCO world heritage.
The Diavel V4 is available from Ducati Oxford in the classic Ducati Red colour or in the Thrilling Black glossy black version.

Blade Motor Cycles Limited an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Blade Motor Cycles Limited to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.
Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.
Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
