Engine and Performance
Talking about engine and performance, this bike has a 937cc BS6 Testastretta L-twin, liquid-cooled engine, which generates 111 bhp of power and 93 Nm of torque. This engine is so smooth that even at high speed on the highway, you get a different fun of control and stability. Along with this, it has been given modern technology like 6-speed gearbox, anti-slip clutch and quickshifter, which makes every gear shift smooth.
Design and styling
Talking about design and styling, the new Ducati Monster has become slimmer and more stylish than before. Its muscular fuel tank, sharp tail section and twin exhaust make it more attractive. The front has an oval headlamp and a full LED lighting system, which makes night riding even more special. Ducati has redesigned the position of the handlebar and footrest keeping in mind the comfort of the rider. The handlebar is now closer to the rider and the footrests have been lowered than before, which reduces fatigue during long rides.
Frame and control
On the other hand, if we talk about frame and control, the frame of this Monster is lighter than before and due to the aluminum swingarm and new wheels, its weight has reduced by about 4.5 kg. Its total weight is only 188 kg, which makes the handling of the bike even easier. Whether driving on city roads or picking up speed on the highway, this bike gives excellent balance and control everywhere.
Features and Technology
Talking about features and technology, the new Ducati Monster is not only powerful but also smart. It has a 4.3-inch TFT Bluetooth-ready display. Although the Bluetooth module has to be purchased separately, a clear and modern interface is seen on the display. To improve safety and riding experience, the bike has three riding modes like Sport, Urban and Touring. Also, it has advanced electronic features like wheelie control, traction control, cornering ABS and launch control.
Suspension and Braking System
If we give you information about the suspension and braking system, the bike has 43 mm upside-down front forks and preload-adjustable rear monoshock, which makes the suspension very strong and reliable. For braking, it has 320 mm twin disc brakes in the front and 245 mm disc brakes in the rear. Brembo’s powerful calipers make the braking of this bike even more effective.
