01. Lightweight

The aluminium Front Frame contributes to keeping the dry weight down to just 166 kg. Lightness is key to ensuring the utmost enjoyment aboard a bike that is easy to handle, fast and, above all, fun.

02. Compact

Narrow sides and a front frame that ends at the height of the vertical cylinder head ensure the rider can easily touch the ground with their feet when stationary. The muscular bison-back tank for which the Monster stands out is reproportioned, now more compact to ensure more comfortable and effective ergonomics.

03. Essential

A design that is all about simple, clean lines. An engine, a saddle, a tank, and a handlebar. Everything you need to ride and have fun, nothing more.

04. Fun

The Monster mounts the Euro 5 approved 937 cc Testastretta 11° engine with desmodromic timing. Delivering 111 hp @9250 rpm, the engine is smooth and controlled at low speeds, navigating traffic without hesitation, but also dynamic at mid to high speeds, for electrifying performance in every situation. Its contained weight contributes to the bike’s overall lightness and heightens rideability.

Even more sports attitude

In its new colour combination, the pure white and bright red selected for the seat upholstery highlight the simple, clean lines of the Monster. The red tags on the wheels add a sophisticated, sporty touch.

In the name of personal style

Monster has always been a symbol of customisation. Select a cover kit for a look that is bold, sporty, and modern, and coordinate this with your favourite technical gear.

    SAFETY

    ABS Cornering

    An anti-lock braking system is a safety system that prevents a vehicle’s wheels from locking during heavy braking. Essentially, the ABS regulates the braking pressure on the wheel, allowing it to continuously have traction on the riding surface. There are different ABS intervention levels, depending on the selected Riding Mode.

    Ducati Power Launch (DPL)

    System that guarantees lightning-fast starts allowing the rider to concentrate only on managing the clutch release.
    PERFORMANCE

    Ducati Quick Shifter (DQS)

    Electronic system derived from racing that allows you to change gears without using the clutch and without closing the throttle when shifting to a higher gear.
    SAFETY

    Ducati Traction Control (DTC)

    Traction control is a system that prevents (or limits) spin of the rear wheel under acceleration. Gently manages engine clearance recovery, modulating the torque delivered and avoiding the peak that can occur when clearance recovery is complete, so as to make it even easier and more predictable. acceleration out of corners.
    PERFORMANCE

    Ducati wheelie control (DWC)

    System that controls the wheelie and allows you to achieve maximum acceleration performance with ease and safety.

      The right drive
      to ensure a fun ride

      937 cc Testastretta

      The twin created for your enjoyment. Delivering 111 hp at 9250 rpm and maximum torque of 9.5 kgm at just 6500 rpm, it is efficient and reactive in terms of throttle response. Very smooth in city traffic and responsive at mid-high speeds.

      Ducati Quick Shift Up/Down

      The Quick Shift up/down allows the rider to change gear without touching the clutch. The perfect companion when enjoying real sports riding but also extremely practical in the city, which calls for frequent gear shifting.

      Ducati Wheelie Control

      Wheelie Control allows the bike to accelerate to the max while eliminating, or limiting, any front wheel lift. This heightens riding safety but also ensures the best possible acceleration performance. Furthermore, Wheelie Control can be adjusted according to several levels independently from other control systems.

      Smart Power Mode

      Depending on the model, this mode allows the user to choose between different pre-set mappings that optimise vehicle behaviour based on rider requirements and the road conditions. The rider can select the strategy they want at any time, even when riding, thanks to handlebar controls and indications on the instrument panel.
