The new Monster Plus represents all the essence of Ducati in the lightest, most compact, and essential form possible. The iconic, timeless styling of the Monster enters a new era with an evolved, contemporary design. It retains its 1993 DNA: the engine as the undisputed star at center stage, topped by the unmistakable bison-back tank, with the circular headlight recessed into the shoulders and the clean, streamlined tail. The Monster remains the epitome of naked bike excellence. The new Ducati Monster is pure riding pleasure; a sensation of absolute control, the sport naked for everyone. Precise through the turns. Stable along the straight. Completely at ease whether in city traffic or on track. The new Monster will trace your every movement, thanks to an advanced yet intuitive chassis that ensures a fun and fulfilling ride. Cutting-edge performance and unrivalled riding pleasure. The latest evolution of Testastretta 11° twin makes the new Monster your ideal partner. With many of its components redesigned to reduce weight while maintaining performance and reliability, the 937 cc Testastretta 11° is smooth and controlled at low rpm, for a prompt response in city traffic, but also dynamic at medium-high rpm for electrifying performance at all times. The iconic, timeless style of the Monster enters a new era with a contemporary, cutting-edge design. All the distinctive elements are there, such as the engine, the undisputed scene-stealer, topped with the classic “bison-back? tank, the circular headlamp built into the ‘shoulders’, and the clean, streamlined tail section. But all with a more modern, sporty, and technological twist, designed to enhance the bike’s personality and maximise rider enjoyment. Maximum compactness and lightness are wisely combined with the traditional yet essential and pure lines of Ducati. From a zenithal viewpoint, this new machine reveals all its seductive lines, namely the narrow seat, the muscular tank which widens towards the rear to meet, as a true sporty bike, the volume of the side panels. The Full-LED headlight maintains the iconic, round shape, made even more evident and modern by the incorporation of the LED Daytime Time Running Light (DRL) system. The structure of the headlight also evolves, thanks to a lens that fully integrates both optical and electronic elements. The tank is undoubtedly the icy on the cake. Curved and muscular, as a real Monster deserves, sculpted with the classic knees area, it evolves in the sides stretched towards the front wheel, a volume that dominates the direction indicators characterized by the swiping technology. The short tail, essential and appealing, has a visible rear frame with both a structural and aesthetic function, in addition to two painted side panels inspired by the Panigale V4. Ducati Monster is able to put anyone at ease even in the most sporty riding. The riding position is now even more comfortable thanks to a special attention to the design of the saddle characterized by an extremely tapered shape in the leg passage area and a foam capable of offering comfort.
