This is the 2021 Ducati Monster which has met the Euro 5 emission rules. There is still exhaust gas but it is made as environmentally friendly as possible. According to Ducati's presentation, the design summary is a return to a lighter, more essential Monster.
They want to recall Monster's roots as a naked bike that is fun and can be used daily. Considered an evolution of the Ducati Monster 821, the new bike is visually a lot slimmer, especially with the exhaust. Using the new 937cc Testastretta 11 degrees engine produces 111 horsepower which is claimed to reach 93 Nm of torque.
Ducati also says that more torque is available in the lower rev range. This is a definite plus for motorists. the new Monster 2021 front frame is adopted from the Ducati Panigale made of lightweight aluminum. Its claimed weight is only 3 kilograms (kg). It is connected to the engine and everything is tied together at the rear via a GFRP subframe which weighs about 2 kg. The overall composition has a dry weight of 166 kg. In the end, the 2021 Ducati Monster is 18 kr lighter than the Ducati Monstrer 821. Not a bad result, of course.
Other features include a 4.3-inch TFT color dashboard, all around LED lighting including turn signals, ABS, traction control, wheelie control and top-down quickshifter. You can also get three driving modes: Sport, Turing and Urban. The clutch lever is also lighter than the previous model. The suspension consists of a USD 43mm front fork and an adjustable rear monoshock.
There is also an aluminum double-sided swingarm. The rims are wrapped in Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tires. Brembo M4.32 front brakes monobloc 4-piston semi-floating dual calipers. Front-mounted 320mm disc, with radial master cylinder. 245mm rear disc brakes with calipers that use two Brembo pistons.
The Monster 2021 comes in two variants: regular, and Monster +, with the + adding only a small fairing and rear seat cover. Both versions come in three color options: Ducati red, matte black and gray. Regarding the price, the official price starts at US $ 11,895.
