    Monster Senna

    Commemorative livery inspired by Ayrton’s helmet

    The exclusive tribute livery is characterised by the yellow, green, and blue colour scheme, an unmistakable trademark of the Brazilian ace, which extends to the front callipers, seat, and wheel tags.

    Sports seat with Senna logo

    Produced with superior quality padding, the seat is enhanced with a dedicated colour and a thermo-formed logo featuring the famous “S”.

    Plate with progressive number on the steering head

    The steering head is customised with a plate that bears the serial number of the bike, of which just 341 units are produced: 3 as in the world titles Senna achieved and 41 as in the number of Formula 1 races he won. Each unit is unique.

    Forged aluminium wheels

    The forged wheels guarantee a 1.86 kg weight saving and make for a more agile and lightweight bike when changing direction. Lightness and fun are guaranteed with the carbon fibre front and rear mud guards.

    Suspension and brakes

    The Multistrada V2 is equipped with a 48 mm USD front fork with 170 mm of travel, a dedicated cast foot, adjustable in spring pre-load, compression and rebound damping. The spring is progressive, which makes for greater riding comfort even at full load. Rear wheel travel is 170 mm. On the S version, the Multistrada V2 comes complete with Ducati Skyhook Suspension EVO as standard, a system based on a 48 mm fork and rear shock, both electronic, with the possibility to adjust the compression and rebound damping in a continuous way according to an approach of semi-active control that can guarantee ideal vehicle balance and significantly boost safety and comfort. The entire Multistrada V2 family is equipped with Brembo brakes complete with Cornering ABS function. The front system stands out for its Brembo M4-32 monobloc radial callipers with four 32 mm pistons and two pads, a radial master cylinder with adjustable levers, and 320 mm double front disc with aluminium flange. At the rear is a Brembo floating calliper that acts on a single 265 mm disc.

    Adjustable Öhlins suspension

    Complete with a fork that is 0.6 kg lighter than that of the Monster and Monster +, the fully adjustable Öhlins suspension heightens feeling and increases both the ground clearance and lean angle.

    Öhlins steering damper

    As well as adding to the overall aesthetic, the steering damper ensures greater precision through the turns and in acceleration as well as better stability on uneven surfaces.

      Livery inspired by the famous helmet

      The Monster Senna pays homage to the talent of the three-time World Champion with a special livery that is inspired by the colour of the helmet that the driver wore in races throughout his career with parts in yellow, green and blue, clear tributes to the Brazilian flag.

      The details of a legend.

      Every detail on the Monster Senna reflects the incessant pursuit of perfection, a distinctive trait of a driver who left nothing to chance, whether on or off track.

        A tribute to sporting greatness.

        A bike that celebrates the passion and emotion of Senna’s racing career. A tribute brimming with energy and positivity, which commemorates his spirit with the same euphoria the Brazilian ace brought to the track.

        Forged aluminium wheels

        The forged wheels make for a weight reduction of 1.86 kg, while carbon fibre front and rear mudguards ensure lightness and entertainment.

        Öhlins Suspension

        With a fork that is 0.6 kg lighter than that of the Monster and Monster +, the fully adjustable Öhlins suspension heightens feeling as well as increasing both the ground clearance and lean angle.

        Adjustable Öhlins steering damper

        Besides embellishing the control unit, it allows the braking to be adapted to different riding conditions, with the effect of improving precision in cornering and acceleration and stabilising the steering on connected backgrounds.

        Enhanced Braking system

        Benefitting from an updated braking system with Brembo Stylema® callipers and 320 mm aluminium-flange front discs (0.5 kg lighter than those equipping the Monster), the Monster 30° Anniversario ensures better braking performance but also greater agility with less inertia at the front.

        Termignoni Silencer

        Homologated, for a sportier look and performance with a yellow stripe to match the colour of the bike. 

        Lithium-ion battery

        The adoption of a lithium-ion battery contributes to a total weight saving of roughly 2 kg with respect to the kerb weight of the standard model, which already sets a benchmark in the category in terms of lightness, as does the addition of components such as the steering damper and top fairing.

        Sporty Seat with heat-sealed logo

        Made with premium padding, it is embellished with the dedicated color and thermoformed logo with the famous “S” on the saddle.

        Electronics at the top of the segment

        Standard equipment includes ABS Cornering, Ducati Traction Control, Ducati Wheelie Control, all adjustable to different levels of intervention. The sporty character of the new Monster Senna is also emphasized by Launch Control, which ensures lightning-fast starts. This top-of-the-line motorcycle equipment allows the Monster to safely express its performance. 

        Sport, Road and Wet Riding Modes allow you to mold the character of the Monster according to your tastes and needs. Everything is easily managed through the handlebar controls and the 4.3-inch color TFT dashboard.

        Ayrton Senna and Ducati

        Monster Senna is the latest chapter in the story that ties Ayrton Senna to the Borgo Panigale manufacturer. A relationship was born on the racetrack and that continued even after the death of the unforgettable Brazilian driver.

        United by racing.

        The story that unites Ducati and Ayrton Senna began in the early 90s. Claudio

        Castiglioni, the president of Ducati at that time, would often visit the Formula 1 circuits, where the Brazilian ace was setting the world alight with his talent and charisma.

        Senna truly loved the world of motors. And after meeting with Castiglioni and becoming a personal friend, Senna also developed a passion for Ducati . He even received an 851 SP as a gift from the president in 1990 and one of the first red Monster bikes in 1993.

        One day Castiglioni showed "Magic" a preview of what would be a revolutionary bike for Ducati and for the entire motorcycle industry: the Ducati 916. It was at that point that Senna decided the time had come to follow up on a project that the two had been cultivating for some time.

          916 Senna: the most admired motorcycle, the best loved driver.

          In March 1994, Ayrton Senna visited Ducati in Borgo Panigale to sign a contract that would result in the first motorcycle ever to bear his name: the Ducati 916 Senna.

          A marriage with legendary connotations, between one of the most beautiful and desired motorcycles of the time and the most successful and best loved racer. It was Ayrton himself who chose the colour scheme, an anthracite grey base combined with the matte black of the lower fairings and a bright red that recalled the red of the "S” in the Senna logo.

          The bike should have gone into production just a few weeks later, but Senna’s death on 1 May 1994 saw the project put on hold until the following winter, when it was presented at the Bologna Motorshow, in the presence of Ayrton’s sister Viviane, President of the Ayrton Senna Institute, and brother Leonardo.

          The 300 units produced sold in a matter of days, which prompted Ducati and the Senna Foundation to produce two subsequent series, in 1997 and 1998. These limited runs of 300 units were again linked to important charitable initiatives just as the first had been, the motorcycles still a coveted collector's item even today.

          Panigale 1199 S Senna: the story continues.

          A successor to the 916, the Panigale 1199 S also saw its name associated with that of the Brazilian ace. In 2014, to mark the twentieth anniversary of his passing, the Panigale 1199 S Senna was produced as a limited run of 161 units, the precise number of races that Senna competed in during his Formula 1 career.

          His own Monster, to celebrate the legend.

          The Monster Senna celebrates the immortality of the Brazilian driver, encapsulating those elements that made him such an iconic figure and capturing all the magic that continues to inspire and fascinate fans of both Ducati and this unforgettable champion. 

          To mark the thirtieth anniversary of the loss of “Magic”, a special numbered and limited edition, which takes up the livery of Ayrton’s iconic helmet.
