BOLOGNA: Ducati has started production of the new Monster which will be available in Ducati dealerships starting next month.

The new model, presented during the 2021 Ducati World Première, is inspired by the original 1993 philosophy - a lightweight and essential sport naked with a frame derived from the Superbike and a powerful engine that is at the same time perfect for road use.

MotoGP riders Pecco Bagnaia, Enea Bastianini and Luca Marini were at the assembly line to witness the construction of the first example of the new Monster.

The new Monster is light, compact and fun.



It's an ideal motorcycle both for first timers and for more experienced motorcyclists, ready to provide fun due to its easy-to-manage performance, extremely low weight, a nimble and intuitive chassis and state-of-the-art electronic equipment.

The heart of the bike is the 937cc L-twin Testastretta 11° engine with desmodromic distribution, which makes the Monster sporty and fun.

Maximum power stands at 111hp at 9,250rpm with a torque of 9.5kgm at just 6,500 rpm.

Thanks to the increased displacement compared to the 821-cc version, torque has improved at all revs, particularly medium-low ones, which are the most commonly used on the road and through the curves.

The engine of the new Monster guarantees thrilling performance and riding pleasure, also thanks to the new gearbox and the Ducati Quick Shift Up/Down fitted as standard.

The standard electronic equipment enables the performance of the bike to be expressed with a high degree of active safety and includes ABS Cornering, Traction Control and Wheelie Control, all adjustable to different levels of intervention.

With over 350,000 units produced and distributed throughout the world, the Monster family is the best-selling and the longest running in the history of Ducati.
