Picked up a 2016 XDiavel S a few days ago. Incredible bike. Lots of cool features including launch control and cruise. Here are some pics.

I test demo’d One of these in the back roads of laguna seca, I could not shift up without clutching. I believe it was in touring mode. Can you do clutchless shifting or no?
Rides excellent and has plenty of power

How much did you save by deleting the rear fender? 
I know nothing about bikes but that looks cool AF!
I'm waiting to see how the new Triumph Rocket 3 performs.
No, on the 2016 there is no quickshift feature. I'm not sure about the years after.
The max is gone but not forgotten. I was barely riding the vmax and my biggest complaint was the weight of the max. I wanted a cruiser with power but lighter weight and the xdiavel seemed to fill that void. Also, the diavel has a great pillion seat for the wifey on the occasional 2 up ride.
That being said the vmax is definetly the fastest bike I have ever had. I had an s1000rr that was probably faster but I could never ride that bike to it's potential. The vmax is the king of cruisers in my opinion, even though it gets 20mpg...haha.
It will be fast but the price is going to be crazy. I think they start at 22k!!!! For some reason triumph thinks they are Ducati and BMW now! haha...
Ahh, I think the one I demoed was an 18 or 19. Dang, quick shift is such a joy. Nice bike tho, I want my bro go get one. They are sick looking cruisers.
My boss has a Diavel, great looking bikes!
A vmax will push a diavel's anus through its mouth with same rider and mod level. Just a simple fact of life. Goes for any factory built sport cruiser. The fuel injected vmax came out in 09 and has been whooping ass and taking names since
Love the X Diavel OP! Ive drooled over them since they came out, sexiest sport cruiser without a doubt. The single sided swing arm on those things are freakin amazing. Gotta share my max since the topic came up.
190whp w/full exhaust and tune on 93 will freshen anyones day.

lol'd at the plate.
Hard to imagine that happening! Don't get me wrong, the diavel is a low 10 second bike maybe even a high 9 with perfect conditions but the vmax pulls like an angry freight train in every single gear. The power of the diavel is over 5k, so I would imagine the 1/4 mile times being close (within a half second) but the vmax traps in the 140's, the diavel mid 130s.
Those are so cool looking! I've always like the VMax too. Never realized they make the power they do either.
FWIW I'm looking at getting a Yamaha MT-09, hopefully. I like the MT-10 but it's a little too much for me, both price and power.

Congrats! I picked up a left over 2018 XDiavel S last month. Great bike!
Never knew those Vmaxx's were putting out that kind of power. Sounds like it'd give my sportbike a run for it's money, I kinda doubt that due to the weight difference but ya never know.
The Diavel is stunning in person, those pics don't do much for me but I've seen one in person and they look crazy good in person.
You guys have some really really nice toys btw.
