The Diabolus is a chopper style motorcycle in The Lost and Damned, originally existing unfinished in Grand Theft Auto IV game files.
Design
Much like the Hellfury, the Diabolus is best described as an aggressively designed custom chopper sporting modern, unconventional design cues, similar in design to the real-life West Coast Choppers El Diablo. In comparison to the Hellfury, the bike is identifiable by its thinner frame, different exhaust pipes, exhaust note, and an added buddy bar above the rear fender.
The unfinished GTA IV version of the bike differs slightly from the final TLAD design, featuring a more compact and less radically designed gas tank that features the Diabolus name, and lacking any rear license plate.
The Diabolus in TLAD is a gang vehicle ridden by members of The Lost Brotherhood.
Performance
The Diabolus' performance is identical to the Hellfury, featuring a substantially a standard but good top speed (216 km/h) hampered by poor acceleration (0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds), a standard chopper weight of 300 kg, as well as significantly nimble handling. However, oversteer is a problem; because of its length, high speeds along with cornering may end unpleasantly at a wall, but with enough skill emergency brake turns can make cornering a breeze.
The bike is durable for gunfights, but thinking about a slick getaway is impossible with just a rim. Because of its size, this bike, like other long choppers, isn't the pick of the litter when it comes to wheelies and endos.
Trivia
- The default radio station in the Diabolus is Liberty Rock Radio 97.8.
- Obvious to its real-life counterpart, the name Diabolus seems to come from combining the word "diablo", which means devil in Spanish, and "fabulous".
Locations
- Can be found parked on the west side of the Lost MC Clubhouse, in the alleyway.
- Always parked at the 69th Street Diner in Hove Beach.
- Occasionally ridden in traffic by members of the The Lost Brotherhood in Lost territories.
- Parked behind Brian's house in "Bad Standing".
- Can be delivered by Clay to the player after completion of "Angels in America".
Notable owners
- Jason Michaels rides a unique magenta Diabolus.
- Brian Jeremy rides a unique crimson colored Diabolus.
- Terry Thorpe rides a blue Diabolus.
- Clay Simons rides a purple Diabolus.
