Vilner is the name of a Bulgarian tuner that is actually particularly popular in the car-tuning world because of the always excellent customization of the interiors, but in recent times the prestigious Sofia-based atelier has begun to focus its attention on motorcycles too, as the brilliant Ducati Monster Bulgari, Aprilia RSV Tuono Stingray, Triumph Speed Triple Bulldogand Vilner Predator (this one built on the basis of BMW F800) proved only too well.
In chronological order, the last outcome of Vilner’s passion for bikes is this astonishing Ducati Diavel Carbon by Vilner, a model that the Bulgarian tuner admitted was particularly challenging because of the objectively peculiar design of the original bike. In their attempt to emphasize its curvy forms, the Vilner guys provided the Diavel with a pretty different-looking front end that immediately catches the eye, with newly designed upper and lower cover for the headlight as well as a bigger fender that wraps up a big portion of the fork to make and makes the Diavel even meaner than usual. For the same reason, the new under-belly cover is 3 cm larger than the standard pan.
Given the reputation of the brand, the saddle is of course one of the highlights of its customization. It it is completely redesigned and handscrafted the finest materials and finishes, and its leather gets to embrace the side panels too. Moreover, its stitching continues lengthwise through the bike on both tank and tail (which has been reshaped and reduced in size). To top it off, the rear light clusters got darkened to add up to its wicked and even more muscular new aesthetics. Chassis and mechanics were obviously left untouched.
