Braking system

The aim? To offer the best possible braking while maintaining excellent modulation and light, prompt control. To achieve this, Ducati engineers developed a specific braking system in close collaboration with Brembo. Brembo M4-32 monobloc radial callipers grip two 320 mm discs, with sintered pads guaranteeing sports performance in both wet and dry conditions. The new radial pump offers a heightened feeling of control as well as guaranteeing a level of braking power that sets a benchmark in the segment. The clutch and brake levers are both adjustable in terms of their distance from the handlebar. At the rear, a single 245 mm disc is gripped by a Brembo calliper, equipped, just like the front brake, with efficiency-enhancing sintered brake pads.

Tires and wheels

Even the wheels contribute to the lightness of the new Monster. Created in lightweight alloy, they measure 3.5 x 17” and 5.5 x 17” and mount Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tires, 120/70 at the front and 180/55 at the rear. A specific choice to suit the motorcycle’s sports attitude, on both dry and wet surfaces.

Steering angle

The new frame but also the careful positioning of parts such as the radiator have led to one big improvement with respect to the previous generation of Monster, specifically a steering angle of 36°, for an increase of 7°. Thanks to these updates, the Monster has never been so agile and nippy in traffic, and it is also easier and more intuitive when changing direction.

Engine

The Monster is powered by the 937 cc Testastretta 11° 937 cc L-twin with desmodromic timing.
