The load-bearing engine is linked to a front frame deriving from that of the Panigale V4. Created in aluminium, the frame is 4.5 kg lighter than the trellis frame of the Monster 821, for a 60% reduction that contributes to the bike’s overall lightness.

The wet anti-patter clutch equipping the new Monster can guarantee smooth feedback thanks to its particular self-servo system. The new hydraulic control makes it extremely “light” to activate (20% less effort compared to the Monster 821) and perfect modulated to suit riders of all levels.

The seat height of the new Monster is 820 mm. This, combined with the narrow sides of the bike, allows the rider to easily reach the ground with their feet. A seat that reduces this height to 800 mm, while still maintaining good padding, is available as an accessory. A suspension kit is also available for those who wish to lower the vehicle, further reducing the seat height to 775 mm.

Created with modern GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) technology, the rear subframe loses 1.9 kg.

To offer the best possible braking, while maintaining good modulability and light, precise control. This was the goal of the Ducati engineers as they worked with Brembo to develop a specific system that sees the M4-32 radial monobloc calipers act on a pair of 320 mm discs by way of sintered pads, to ensure sports performance in wet and dry conditions.

The wheels also contribute to the lightness of the new Monster. Created in lightweight alloy, they measure 3.50x17” and 5.50x17” and mount Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tyres, a 120/70 front and 180/55 rear, showcasing that Monster sports attitude in wet and dry conditions.

The new frame but also the careful positioning of components such as the radiator ensure significant improvement with respect to the previous generation of Monster. The steering angle rises to 36°, a good 7° more than before. As a result, the Monster is more agile than ever before in traffic, while making a U-turn is easier and more intuitive.

The Monster is equipped with a Launch Control system that allows for extremely effective starts. Once activated, the system autonomously manages the engine revs (irrespective of the throttle) so that the rider need only manage the clutch when moving off. A “drag race mode” that ensures the best possible acceleration.

Wheelie Control allows the motorcycle 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. Wheelie Control can be adjusted independently from other controls.

The Monster instrument panel features a 4.3” colour TFT display and offer useful on-board information. In the centre of the screen, the rev counter and currently selected gear are on prominent display, along with data such as air temperature and fuel level.

The dashboard is also predisposed to display information from the Ducati Multimedia System (DMS), which allows a smartphone to be connected to the motorcycle via Bluetooth module (available as an accessory). Functions are managed via the buttons positioned on the handlebar, while the display shows the “music player” controls, headset connection status icons, and both incoming call and message alert icons.

With its modern lines and technological look, the full LED headlight is equipped with the daytime running light system that guarantees excellent visibility, both close-up and from afar. The dynamic LED indicators are always clearly visible and come complete with auto-off function.
