I’m starting to get a Diavel itch, had a 1200 which I swapped for a 1200 Multistrada, but considering a 1260, would love an S with the Ohlins and quick shifter, but it does narrow the search a bit.
Anybody ridden both? How does the suspension compare (not too worried about the QS)?

I have the 1198 Diavel. The stock suspension is atrocious, I have swapped out to Nitron which is a million times better, please, do yourself a favour, go for the S. This wasn’t an option for the gen1&2 Diavels and how the press didn’t rip ducati to shreds over the suspension is beyond me, should have been a factory available option way before the gen3 emerged.

If you are in any doubt, please ride them both before you buy a non S.
