Their ideas and sketches have allowed the Ducati prototype department to come up with the “draXter”, starting from a standard production XDiavel. The beating heart of the “draXter” is that of an extreme dragster with premium racing componentry. This is particularly evident, for example, in the suspension and brakes, taken directly from the 1299 Panigale Superbike. This styling exercise has accentuated the lines and proportions of the XDiavel making them more extreme than ever and turning the “draXter” into a unique, breath-taking supersport.
